M-Track Duo USB Audio Interface for Recording, Streaming and Podcasting with Dual XLR, Line and DI Inputs, plus a Software Suite Included

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.

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.

The sound quality is very good considering its price point. It’s has a sturdy build quality but is kind of hollow on the inside that’s it. Only thing is that pushing the knobs after 9 causes noise. But at that point it is very loud and I’ll never go that loud.

I bought this for my son who plays guitar and records his music. He is super happy with this audio interface. Great quality item and nice price point. It performs very well with his set-up and was compatible with everything he has. His band members are planning on buying one as well. Fast shipping too. I would recommend it and would buy it again.

Love this interface...

Muy buena para su precio

ممتاز

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

One of the best audio interface at a lower price. But remember, it has 1/4" TRS ports for everything, including headphone, the RCA connector, line inputs. So be sure to buy adapters prior to buying this. Your speaker also would not have the cable for it and you might need a different RCA to 1/4" TS/TRS cable for your home studio monitor. Also has 2 xlr ports for your mics. I do love the headphone port for other simultaneous output option

Facile a installer, très bonne qualité, tout fonctionne parfaitement
