Pinnacle Systems Fast Track Pro - 4 x 4 USB Audio/MIDI Interface

Comment:
I've had this unit for about 2 months and it performs quite well. I use it in conjunction with ACIDPro 7.0 and it works nearly flawlessly. Sometimes there seems to be some kind of conflict with the microsoft sound mapper that causes horrible noise to come throught the inputs. This is a negligible factor for me as a home musician, but it would probably be unacceptable in a professional studio. I use it on a Corei3 laptop with 4 gig of RAM running Windows 7 and it smokes! I did not like the bundled software, however. I am new to the whole computer-based recording, having used a multitrack recorder for about 5 or 6 years now. I switched because editing audio on a 2 inch by 4 inch screen got to be quite tiresome.

I bought this for someone else and he was very satisfied with it. I can't really say anything more than that since I am not familiar with this kind of equipment.

I run Windows 7 64bit. M-Audio has drivers so that should not be an issue. The included Pro-Tools 7.4 demo app won't run. Ableton live has to be authorized online but has a problem with Firefox. The inTone Guitar Express showed moving vu meters but no sound. Tried their trouble shooting but still no sound. The biggest problem is latency. I tried to adjust through the FTP control panel but it still had a delay. Not pleased with this unit. Back it goes.

This interface is working very well. I use Ableton software for multi-track recording and midi. Product has plenty of features for my use and the price is better here than the regular outlets: AMS, MF, GC. Thanks for your always prompt shipping!

Bought one of these to use with an electric guitar and it performs very well. I just plug in my guitar to this unit and the unit has audio output cord to computer's microphone port and audio speakers, I use 5.1 surround speaker system and it goes really loud without distortion, but living an apartment so cannot turn it up too high. I recommend using this with software programs such as Ableton Live or NI Guitar Rig 3 so you will have many effects. Set it all correct and there isnt any lag, at least not enough lag to mess anything up for recording. I just have a sound blaster X-fi gamer card and it works fine, havn't tried it on integrated sound yet. Good product that does what is should and more.
