Thread Starter | Audiophile USB vs. Fast Track Pro (M-Audio) Audiophile USB: http://www.m-audio.ca/products/en_ca...eUSB-main.html Fast Track Pro: http://www.m-audio.ca/products/en_ca...kPro-main.html My limited knowledge tells me the Fast Track Pro is the better choice, but why does the Audiophile cost a bit more? I am confused and trying to decide which one to get... or do you have any recommendations for something else in that price range? I am looking for something that will give me MIDI connectivity on either a desktop or a laptop (depending on the situation,) and I need the audio to be low latency for recording and VSTi response. |

| dont qoute me bcos its hazy but i seem to remember somewhere reading the fast track can only record mono. you might want to check that aspect if true on the fast track. if you want a complete list of usb devices look at music123.com zzounds.com and sweetwater. you might also look at terratec. i keep on hearing they are rather nice...as always ensure you can return any device if it doesnt play well with your desktop or laptop.

Thread Starter | That would be odd if it didn't record stereo... maybe you read/heard about the regular Fast Track USB. It's a cheaper box. I'm looking at the Fast Track Pro, which I think is newer. Also, looks like this unit might also be a possibility. The Edirol UA-25: http://www.rolandus.com/products/pro...4&ParentId=114 So many choices, and not enough know how to make a good decision :\ |

Thread Starter | That Terratec seems nice, but it doesn't have XLR inputs. As for the phase 24, I don't have Firewire :( But thanks for the recommendation! |
