Introducing the M-Track Duo – Crystal Clear Audio in a Compact Design
Studio Recording, Podcasting and Live Streaming, Simplified.
The M-Track Duo is the best, most portable recording audio interface in its class. It delivers 48 kHz audio resolution in a compact and easy to use format that is ideal for creating music on any Mac or PC. This versatile interface works great for recording any type of sound source and features two combo Crystal Preamps with phantom power, making it compatible with any microphone. Plus, there is a dedicated switch to choose either a line level or instrument level input, perfect for connecting digital pianos, drum machines or any other stereo ¼” inch line level device, as well as the best possible signal for DI guitar or bass. M-track Duo is completely powered by USB, which makes it portable and perfect for anyone on-the-go. Throw it into your bag, grab a laptop, and create your next podcast, song, or mix, anywhere you want.
Direct Monitoring & Headphone Connection
M-Track Duo offers zero-latency monitoring of the mic, line or instrument input signal through both the main stereo 1/4/’ outputs and stereo 1/4” headphone output. The USB/Direct switch adjusts the balance between the direct inputs and the playback from your computer software. This makes it easy to record new parts or add parts to an existing composition.
Start Recording Immediately
The M-Track Duo comes with a complete software package that has everything you need to get started right out of the box. Included are 2 great digital audio workstations (Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition and MPC Beats), 20 effect plugins provided by AVID, AIR Music Tech’s Xpand!2 synthesizer plugin and the Eleven Lite guitar amp plugin that’s perfect for capturing any riff that hits you in the middle of the night when you can’t crank your amp to ‘eleven’.

Incredible that such a full-featured audio interface is available in this price range. The software package could be more robust, but it takes nothing away from the overall value of this product.

Economica ma funzionale
Comprato per suonare il basso ascoltandolo in cuffia (o dai diffusori del PC).Il funzionamento è super-intuitivo, praticamene plug&play ad accezione di qualche aggiustamento di fino come l’installazione e la configurazione dei driver proprietari (ma se non ricordo male funziona anche con quelli di Windows).La manopola del volume del basso ha una posizione, vicino al massimo, in cui scricchiola, ma da quanto ho capito non è un difetto della mia unità ma una limitazione fisica dei componenti con cui è fatta; poco male, basta evitare quella specifica posizione.Come simpatico effetto collaterale permette di giocare a Rocksmith al posto del loro cavo brandizzato (e suppongo con una migliore qualità del suono).Non l’ho ancora provato per registrare, ma per il momento in generale consiglio l’acquisto.

Digital recording for a FAIR price
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!

My review
This interface is good if you use only condenser microphone… Not good at all for the dynamic microphone… Sound quality in condenser microphone better…

エレキベースの練習用に
爆音になるとレビューにありますが爆音になることはなります。ただ楽器側かPC側で音量を調整すれば別に問題は感じません。PCのスピーカーに接続して使用していますがヘッドフォンを使用する場合に端子に刺してもスピーカーとヘッドフォン両方から音が出ます。当たり前ですが。スピーカー自体に音量調節がなくヘッドフォンで使用する場合はオンオフのスイッチがあるコードが必要になると思います。4弦の鳴りが出にくいのは弾き方が悪いのかどうなのか。特にこだわらず練習用に音が出ればいいという人には打ってつけだと思います。

思っていたよりも難しくない
プリアンプ付きのチャランゴから、確認用に取り込むために購入。ゆくゆくは他自演音源とかもミックスして…とか、音楽歴だけは無駄に長いけど純然たるアナログ歴のみなので、DTMなど全くのしろうとなので果たして悩みながらでしたが、まぁ、打ち込みじゃないし、こういった機器での取込ならば恐れることもなく。これに先んじて2年ほど前に「某Acoustic」を購入していたのですが、これが不良でどう頑張ってもレベル振りませんで、懲りて手を出さなかったのですが、本品(M-Audio)は何の問題もなく認識しまして。使用PCもmacですのでドライバのインストールも必要なく、ホントに何も悩むことなく運用できています。使用ソフトについてはとりあえずGarageBandを使っていますが、付属ソフトの機能云々以前にどしろうとなので、変に高性能なサードパーティ製ソフトに慣れてしまうと、移行時に面倒かもという理由から。 慣れたら多分何かしらに移行する予定です。用途的に今後もそれほど凝ったことを考えていないのでXLR端子が1つのものを選択しましたが、これも特に問題ないかな。なにしろ「簡単に認識し」「操作も簡単」なのがいいと思います。お値段的にも結構お手頃ですよね。

Difficile
Molto performante ed assolutamente eccezionale rapporto prezzo – qualità. Molto difficile da installare per chi come me è neofita. Mancano in rete tutorial adeguati, mentre abbondano le recensioni. Praticamente proibitiva per chi nn parla inglese.
