One
Interface For Guitar, Vocals And DJ Gigs
The Fast Track Pro delivers 2 front-panel mic/line inputs
complete with phantom power for condenser microphones, inserts for
outboard effects, balanced and unbalanced analog outputs, S/PDIF
digital I/O, MIDI I/O, and more. Fast Track Pro also features near-zero
latency direct hardware monitoring and low-latency ASIO software
monitoring, plus an A/B source switch and dual output pairs for
DJ-style cueing. Fast Track Pro is compatible with most popular
PC and Mac music software. USB connection and bus power along with
class compliancy for Mac OS X make it a breeze to set up.
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.
Ableton
Live Lite 4
Live 4’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.
