I was planning to get a usb interface so I could record someone on location with a laptop (I currently own a dual core pentium 2.0, with 2gb ram and a 5400 hard disk, I know it's not nearly what's required for heavy-duty performance, but I was hoping it could at least play back a reference track and record in it with the interface).

Hey!

I'm quite new to audio interfaces and have quite a few questions. Right now I have a Behringer XM8500 hooked up to a eurorack UB502 and also a Scecher Omen 6 electric guitar and an M-Audio Keysation 88es via USB. So basically the eurorack is there to mix and amplify the signal of the mic and guitar to recordable level. An integrated Relteck HD sound card does the recording.

Hey guys. I'm looking to get one or the other of these two interfaces. How do these two interfaces differ? Which has better preamps? Which would you guys recommend? Would running PT M-Powered be that much of a loss as compared to PT LE? Which is more worth it and would be more worth it in the log run? And what is this i hear about onboard DSP?

hmm there is someone use m audio fast track / fast track pro ?can u share about it with me ..actualy i just want to use it for pro tools m powered but if that thing can make a good record and mixing ..that will good too ..is there a different between fast track with fast track pro ?i mean not about how many in/out and there is a midi input and there is not ..hehe

thx,

I managed to record things once or twice from my keyboard.

However, in Ableton 6, in preferences, when I set the audio input device to "Line (Fast Track) DX" or "Line (Fast Track) Wave" (whats the difference?),,,it says "Failed to open the audio input device"...

Its frustrating because I know I've recorded before, and now its not working anymore!

My wife bought an M-AUDIO Fast Track Pro to record her compositions. When using a Shure SM-57 the levels are relly low. Is a preamp necessary? I have a couple of old AKG D 1000 E mics in perfect shape that always seemed a little hotter for output. Would they solve the problem? Thanks.

Hey, i have M-audio fast track usb (not pro) for recording electric guitar and it works fine... But now i wanna record acoustic guitar... I have preaty good AT3035 mic. Now fast track have 1 mic preamp but i can get Behringer UB1202 mixer so i wanna know what ut think, which one (fast track or Behringer ) have better preamps?

thx

I wasn't sure which forum to post this to, so hopefully this isn't a bad choice.

These two pieces of audio gear seem to be very similar.
Has anyone here had experience with both of these or has enough knowledge about them to advise someone on which of the two to choose?

TIA

I got my hands on the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R about six weeks ago and have yet to record a satisfying chunk of noise.

hi ive just got my fast track ultra this morning.
i installed it all as said in the start up guide. and it worked fine, connected my monitors and plays through them fine...and same when i connect my headphones i get play back.
