I currently use an M-Audio Fast Track Pro with two inputs. Anyone have any suggestions on what would be a good upgrade? I'm looking for it to just be plugged right into my computer.

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!

Hi guys.

I have a soundcard M-Audio 1010LT. My mixer's output are at +4db. Should I put all inputs at +4dBu on my M-Audio Control Panel ?

Also, any particular care for the inputs 1 and 2 on the 1010LT ? I know that these XLR inputs have preamps, so to my understanding they provide phantom power. It it safe to input directly from the mixer ?

Thanks !

Hello. Just got my sm57 and ready to buy a half decent interface. Pretty simple question.. what is better.. by how much.. why? The m audio seems to go for cheaper.. but maybe this is for a reason? Thanks in advanced! 8)

How would I hook up the M-Audio Buddy to my Audiophile 2496 sound card to get the best quality. And also which would be better, The Audio Buddy with the Shure SM58 or the Audio Buddy with the MXL 990?

Hello yall,

I was trying to connect these two units together, M-audio being a main interface connected to PC through firewire. I connected MOTU 8-pre out into M-audio IN with optical cable. Pro Tools were running and froze right away. So I restarted computer, and can't seem to find any sign of MOTU connected on the PC. Pro Tools say that paths for inputs 5 - 32 are not found.

anyone use them? know anything about them?

what do you think?

well.. our band needs a method of recording.. and someone offered us a M-audio buddy for about 1/3 the normal price.. so we are all psyched..
but then.. we realized..
how do we connect it to the laptop? no wires were given

I've been checking these 2 boxs for a while but I'm still not majorly inclined to any of the sides.
My specifications are 2,4Ghz dual core, 4Gb RAM, win vista 64bits, Ableton live.
The N-12 allegedly has better preamps and is more intuitive for rookie producers (like me).

Could someone help me swing the balance?
