M-Track Duo USB Audio Interface | Dual XLR, Line and DI Inputs, Professional Software Suite for Recording, Streaming, and Podcasting

The unit works well to digitize the sound which can be limited by Do-It-Yourself recorders such as phone, computer inputs or MICS. I tried so many things before jumping in to record correctly with appropriate hardware. OLD school items such as phones, or even high dollars MICs with plug-ins are not worthy of publishable recordings since the clipping is eliminated by forcing software limits on input (without your desire, as most items do this as a precautionary measure - to NOT ruin the PC, sound card, guts of the equipment, etc... The M-Audio, as well others, was researched and matched quite well with the higher priced items. It also had equal HZ ratings as some that were 5X the cost. I used this specific piece of equipment to record 20 songs for copyright with very good clarity and response. The CONS - the clipping adjustment is peaked at 9 or 10, which keeps you hopping on sound adjustments for various inputs (singing vs. instrument). It is a SOLO output regardless the hookups, which means, all SOUND (even if singing and playing two instruments) is blended to ONE OUTPUT (which is the input to DAW/Software). The drivers, which are FREE to download as well the software does NOT work on older PCs. I have an i5 rockin' PC that runs like a race horse, BUT will not run this stuff. So, even though the compliance online stated various modern WIN Platforms included, it will not on WIN 7 Home Premium. The FREE software will not either. However, it is running, and did run successfully on my Win 10 computer system. Generically speaking - it worked, and worked well!

The M-Audio M-Track Duo USB Audio Interface fit my needs perfectly. I searched for awhile, fretting between this dual channel model and the FocusRite Scarlett solo channel, which cost around $30 more. I'm relatively new to recording and editing music, also learning the open-source free software from Audacity (not provided by M-Audio) at the same time. This M-Audio pairs up with a self-designed and built lapsteel guitar that runs through a bunch of mid-priced pedals. The signal exits a DI (direct in) box via XLR cable and then pumps into a 2000's 175 watt JBL pro stage monitor/amp (15 in woofer, ported midrange and a peaky tweeter when up close; found two at Goodwill)) that is monitored by the The M-Audio M-Track Duo USB Audio Interface. My laptop and the Audacity software handle the processing, recording and editing chores. The signal (all quiet and clean throughout the whole hardware/software interface) is returned to the JBL (the amp has two 1/4 inputs and one each XLR in and out) in a loving manner with great sound. In fact, I can run my Beat Buddy Mini 2 drum pedal directly through it on a separate channel OR record it in the mix. Between the pre-amped DI box, the Crystal pre-amp in the The M-Audio M-Track Duo USB Audio Interface, and the JBL amp, there is plenty of power for sound! I've also used it to successfully pull backing tracks from online sources. I'm stoked! The slightly less fantastic: As others have noted, the input channel pots do not have a well-designed linear taper, so the signal is almost all or none (mine mostly sits at the 9 to 9.5 point) so clipping is hard to avoid. Add in the worn-out pots in the JBL (will replace shortly) with high power and I'm just a bit frustrated. So far I'm able to compensate in editing. Ease-of-setup, near-perfect interface with Audacity and Windows 11, low-noise high-performance output and a budget-friendly price have really set the The M-Audio M-Track Duo USB Audio Interface in a class by itself! Note: I do not play professionally, gig, or leave the house with this so I can't attest to its durability or suitability for rough situations.

It's an excellent USB sound card covers all the basics. I needed it for a laboratory interface. There are much more expensive equivalents of which I have a few but this one definitely gets the job done. I like the 16-bit 48 kHz. I like having two XLR inputs. I like the uncomplicated basic user controls. Plugged it into Linux bang works right off no issues. I looked at the TI Burr Brown PCM2900C data sheet and it could be easily connected to an embedded processor like an ARM or DSPIC. I'm not using it for straight up stereo audio but it would work right for that. All of my music is 16-bit flac so 24 or 32-bit would not help anyway.

Packaging - Comes with everything you need, including the cable to plug into a computer. It comes with a paper with the information about the free software you get from buying it. I haven't tried it though. Build quality - Fine, no metal. Completely plastic box. Noise - I don't hear any buzz or hiss when monitoring with my headphones, even with gain all the way up. Inputs - Good, having 2 XLR ports in this price seems pretty good compared to others. Headphone port alters sound a bit using it on my PC, so I only use it for direct monitoring. I don't use the speaker outputs on the back either, so can't comment on that. Design - Good, I like the small size. I put it underneath a little lift on my desk that my monitors are on, and it slides under nicely. But since the knobs are on top it's not very easy to adjust them, but I never need to. I only use this to plug my Shure SM57 into, and I don't hear any noise or buzz of any kind when monitoring my microphone with my headphones. I also have to have the gain all the way up for my SM57 to be loud enough, and even then I'd like it to be a little louder. But even with the gain all the way up there's no noise or buzz of any sorts. I tried plugging a guitar into it but I didn't switch it from line to guitar mode, so maybe that's why it didnt sound very good. I'm too lazy to test it again right now. When you get the gain knob to 90% and greater, the gain gets extremely sensitive. 95% - 100% is a huge jump in loudness. I've seen other people say that too, so I'm not sure why it does that. I don't require the phantom power for anything so I can't comment on that. When plugging my headphones into it to use it on my computer, it seems like it alters the sound compared to when I just plug my headphones directly into my computer, and I don't like it as much, so I don't use it for that. The direct monitoring is good though, no latency or anything. I'm not sure if the monitoring knob is sensitive like the gain because I have no reason to turn it that high.

Use it for my streaming with my pioneer standalone controller works great on OBS

La tengo ya hace 5 años y nunca me ha desepcionado, super buena para conectar mis instrumentos

Excelente interfaz la estoy usando muy buenas

My USB mixer finally gave up the ghost, and I needed a decent interim interface that I could use as main, and later, as a backup. I have other M Audio gear, and given the price and my intended purpose for this, I figured I'd give this a go. Bottom Line Up Front, it is better than "okay", but not "great". Straight to the pros and cons Pros: ::Well laid out and doesn't require a manual to use (unless this is your first interface). ::Pots feel smooth and consistent. ::Toggle switches for mic/line feel nice, and are intuitively placed. ::Not intrusive on the desk (except for the input cables. More on that later). ::Lightweight... which is also a con in some cases. ::Good sounding, clean circuits. ::Inexpensive. ::Flawless operation and plays very nice with my other equipment. Cons: ::Too light; the front inputs constantly move the unit out of place, owing to the cable movements any time you move your instrument or mic. ::All plastic. Some might like it, but I am not a fan. ::When mic'ing with a phantom powered condenser, it seems under driven. In order to get a good level in my DAW, this thing needs cranked way up. It would be nice if the middle position was closer to 0db than it is to whatever the heck minimal value that it's at. ::The feet are a circular foam affair, as opposed to something with more grip, like rubber. The issue here is that the unit slides all over the place. All the foam seems to do is quiet down its placement. Other than that, it may as well be an air hockey puck. ::Perplexing design choices, such as the phantom power light being on top, as opposed to next to the switch, which is on the front. If they had thrown this in an aluminum case, angled the controls (even slightly), had optional rear inputs instead of (or in addition to?) fronts, and got a little more oomph out of the 48v circuit, I would have paid much, much more for it. Also, they could have kept it box shaped (but a bit taller), and instead of pots, used sliders with LED volume indicators. Or small pots. Whatever, as long as the controls are visible in a dimly lit room, and preferably from the front; these are not. To that end, this is the 21st century; we have cool stuff. Things like buttons and switches with micro LEDs built in. Something as simple as on-switch or on-button LEDs to indicate position, would have made the unit more aesthetically pleasing, and more functional in more scenarios. I get that this is a budget unit, but M Audio is an established company with legit equipment, and a good reputation. So why be this mediocre about an interface? They could have picked a dozen different designs, but instead, chose to make it dimly lit, and very average. Despite the niggles, I have to say that I do really like the sound... which.... let's be honest, is all that really matters. Whether you share my personal nitpicks or not, it is factually a good sounding interface, performs well, and fits any budget. Verdict: If you spend more than 4 hours a day producing or recording, I would recommend it as a backup interface, or as a temporary interface. I am glad that I have it as a backup, but I would much rather use a rack mount interface as my main. For someone that spends less time than that, or has no 48V requirements, this would probably be pretty close to perfect. So for what its worth, I don't regret the purchase, and still must recommend it, if only because it sounds good. - 1 star because this is the only interface that I have ever owned that had volume output issues on the mic. - 1 star for the other cons listed above.

初めてのオーディオインターフェースとして購入しましたが、かなり満足しています。設定もシンプルで、PCに接続してすぐ使い始められました。 音質はこの価格帯として十分クリアで、ノイズも少なく、マイク録音やギター入力でも問題なく使えています。ファンタム電源対応なのでコンデンサーマイクもそのまま接続できるのが便利でした。 入力が2系統あるので、マイクと楽器を同時に使える点も使い勝手が良いです。宅録や弾き語り、簡単な配信ならこれ1台で十分こなせると思います。 付属ソフトも入門にはありがたく、購入してすぐDTMを始められるのも魅力でした。本体も軽くコンパクトなので、机の上でも邪魔になりません。 気になった点としては、ゲイン調整が少しシビアに感じる場面がありましたが、慣れれば問題ないレベルです。価格を考えるとかなりコストパフォーマンスが高く、「これから録音や配信を始めたい」という人にはかなりおすすめできるモデルです。

Pues una interfaz de audio que está bastante bien y muy correcta, asequible y a buen precio. La compré reacondicionada por 38 euros en estado "aceptable" y ha venido igual que nueva, vamos que apenas hay diferencias. Para empezar en esto de las tarjetas de sonido, muy recomendable. La tengo conectada a unos Presonus E5 y suena muy bien, ningún fallo de momento. Por cierto, los drivers se descargan en un periquete desde la página de M-Audio.

Evde prova yapmak icin gayet uygun. Ancak fiyati dustu aldiktan sonra. Umarim para iadesi yapilir.

ممتاز

Good price and best product
