Studio-Quality Features 
Fast
Track delivers all the studio-quality features and tools you need to
make professional-sounding recordings right out of the box. With clean
preamps and 24-bit/48kHz sound quality, you can be sure your
instruments and vocals are captured with better-than-CD quality sound.
High-gain speaker and headphone outputs further ensure you’ll hear your
recordings with the utmost fidelity.
One for All Compatibility
In
addition to being compatible with GarageBand, Cubase, Live, Logic,
SONAR, Reason and other music production software, Fast Track also
works with Pro Tools M-Powered 8*—the
same recording platform used in countless professional studios around
the world to make award-winning albums and film sound.
Record Your Guitar
Want
to record guitar with your computer? How about recording bass or
keyboards? Fast Track is the answer. Simply connect it via USB to your
PC or Mac, plug your instrument into the convenient 1/4” input and
you’re good to go. You can also use the included Pro Tools M-Powered Essential recording software and effects to layer tracks with your instruments and create professional-sounding mixes.
Record Vocals and Acoustic Instruments
Just
about every recording interface has a mic input that accepts dynamic
(unpowered) microphones—the kind most bands use on stage. Fast Track is
one of the few in its price range that also features switchable +48V
phantom power—allowing you to connect a studio-grade condenser
(powered) microphone like the M-Audio Novafor pro-quality recordings. The Fast Track interface’s 2-input,
2-output design even lets you record a vocal mic and another instrument
simultaneously so you can capture song ideas or collaborate with other
musicians.
Make Music Immediately Make music immediately with the included Pro Tools M-Powered Essential—a
powerful recording application that enables you to get started creating
right away. Based on the same Pro Tools software platform used in pro
studios around the world, Pro Tools M-Powered Essential features
professional effects like reverb, delay, and more—allowing you to
polish your mixes. You also get the Structure® Essential virtual
instrument, which offers an easy way add instruments like drums, piano
and more to your compositions. Finally, a comprehensive library of
included loops helps you construct song ideas quickly and easily.
Direct Monitoring
All
digital audio recording systems introduce a small delay between the
instrument input and the output coming from the computer. This
“latency” can be distracting enough to cause pitch and timing errors
when you’re recording. Fast Track solves this latency problem with a
direct monitor switch, letting you hear your instruments directly
through the interface before they go into the computer.
Next Gen Technology
Fast
Track builds on the success of the popular Fast Track USB—one of the
products responsible for the personal and mobile studio revolutions.
We’ve listened to our users and added some really cool improvements,
including a simplified direct monitoring system, top-mounted knobs that
provide easier access to important controls, and a more powerful
headphone output level. With a sleek, redesigned chassis, the all-new
Fast Track looks and performs better than ever.
