Ultra Low Latency Audio and Flawless Multi-Channel Throughput! We can't believe the wealth of features in the Fast Track Ultra. The mic preamps alone are astounding, but then add the multiple monitor mix routing and DSP effects, 8 simultaneously active i/o channels, and this box is all you need to run your multitrack production studio for a reasonable price. All four mic preamps provide +48v phantom power and have 20dB pads. You also get two front panel instrument inputs to beef up your guitar and bass signals. The four Octane mic preamps have extreme headroom and professional low noise performance. Compatible with Windows Vista/XP and Mac OS X, this new breed of USB 2.0 high-speed audio drivers is stable and as fast as Firewire. Using a new Visa laptop, we're getting some of the lowest latency we've seen, under 5ms in Cubase 4, even faster than Firewire audio systems we've tested. Compatible with Cubase, SONAR, Logic, GarageBand, and any just about any other digital audio and MIDI applications for Windows and Mac. Ear 2 Track highly recommend the Fast Track Ultra to transform your existing computer into a rock sold multi-channel recording studio through a single USB 2.0 port.
