Professional Recording—Anywhere, Anytime
Fast Track Pro is designed to let you record with professional results whenever and wherever you want. A single USB connection gives you access to all the I/O you need for microphones and instruments like guitars, as well as MIDI- and S/PDIF-equipped digital audio gear. The microphone inputs are even phantom powered to accommodate the studio-quality condenser microphones like the M-Audio Luna and Solaris. Our time-tested driver software gives you total routing control over the 4 x 4 I/O—including setting up an effects loop with external devices.

Monitoring Galore

One of the hallmarks of a great audio interface is its monitoring flexibility—and Fast Track Pro delivers. Fast Track Pro features a powerful headphone amp with volume control. Hardware direct monitoring eliminates the latency or delay inherent in even the best internal circuitry while listening to your input and existing tracks. You can also listen to your input complete with effects while recording by using extremely the low-latency ASIO monitoring we’ve perfected over the years. Two pairs of analog outputs let you connect to a DJ mixer and use the front-panel A/B source switch to audition cues.

GT Player Express

Fast Track Pro ships with GT Player Express software, delivering a variety of effects and virtual stomp boxes that eliminate the need for a guitar amp for basic recording and practice. GT Player Express also plays standard audio files like AAC, MP3 and WAV, allowing you to learn and jam along with your favorite music at variable speeds. With Fast Track Pro and GT Player Express, your computer can be your entire guitar rig.

Ableton Live Lite 5

This special edition of the multi-award winning Ableton Live 5 software lets you experience what the critics have been raving about. Live 5’s revolutionary loop-based paradigm makes production as simple as dragging and dropping audio clips in real time. You can also record linear tracks, add effects, perform live remixes and much more.

Bundled Sofware--Ableton Live Lite 5
Ableton Live Lite 5 delivers much of the functionality of Ableton Live 5—the revolutionary, multi-award winning music production solution that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. Live brings your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments—as well as your digital audio recordings and MIDI sequences—together in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use.

Live’s multi-award winning elastic audio sequencing lets you record, import, arrange and process multiple audio clips and loops into complete songs regardless of their pitch or tempo—all in real time while the music continues. You can even change tempo and pitch of audio independently after the fact—and clip envelopes create endless loop variations. Of course, you can also integrate linear tape-style recording along with your loops.

New additions to M-Audio's version of Live Lite include full ReWire Support, MIDI Remote Control, Mackie Control Support, Complex Warp Mode, Clip Freeze, Plug-in Delay Compensation, Arrangement Locators, Live Clip Format, Searchable Browser, New Preset Management and Effect/Device groups, Hi-definition recording (up to 32-bit/192 kHz), and new effects such as Beat Repeat and Saturator.

Ableton’s unique approach to music production extends to a new paradigm in MIDI sequencing and manipulation as well, complete with exclusive virtual instruments. There’s also VST and Audio Unit support and a host of effects you can’t find anywhere else. As simple to use as it is powerful, Live is a completely unique musical tool that blurs the distinction between stage and studio.

Where the full version of Ableton Live gives you all of these capabilities across an unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks, Ableton Live Lite 5 gives you four audio tracks and four MIDI tracks. Live Lite 5 will not include compressed audio support. Given Live’s unique power and efficiency—including resampling—that’s a lot of production capability right out of the box. It’s so intuitive and inspiring that you’ll be making new music immediately. And if you decide to unleash the full power of Ableton Live, your experience and files are completely transportable. Either way, Live lets you focus on what really matters: your music.

- Great bang for the buck interface
I've been using this for almost 4 years now with no issues whatsoever. The only real problem I've ever had with it was fairly late vista and 64 bit support but I was lucky enough to have been a participant for their 64 bit driver beta testing and with vista 64, it performed flawlessly.

If your computer has at least 2 gigs of ram (which it should if you're recording) and a core 2 duo cpu or something like that you shouldn't have any latency issues. I recorded with an old Pentium 4 and 2 gigs ... Read More

- Great for DJing, okay for recording.
I find the gain has to be high on all the mics I put into this thing. Electric guitar straight in works great. Would be great as a dual out for DJing, but with microphone recording (used SM57 and MKH416)you've gotta be really loud or the gain has to be up too high and adds noise. Basically there's a tiny range where the pots seem to go WAY up. it's tough to get that at just the right point, it's kinda like all or nothing. It works for mic recording, but if you're really serious I'd go with something better. ... Read More
