Is anyone on the list using the M-Audio Fast Track
Pro?
Fast Track Pro
4 x 4 Mobile USB Audio/MIDI
Interface with Preamps
USD 249.95
I'm just curious how
this would compare to the Indigo IO in terms of quality and latency, etc....I
don't have any experience with USB interaces and latency, except with the
Digidesign mBox, where playback and recording buffer settings needed to vary
when I wanted no latency recording or no buffer error
playback.

Most of these are totally overkill for
me...there's no flippin' way I'm spending $500-800 on an audio interface, but
given the number of inputes these more expensive units have and what they can
do, the price does seem right.
Now, for my user requirements:
- 1 stereo ouput, 1 stereo input, 1 mic input
(optional)
- Small and portable (no rack mount units), the
size of a sandwich preferrably
- USB, Firewire, or PCMCIA (PCMCIA
is best, IF AND ONLY IF it does not disable my laptop's soundcard...my Audigy
2 ZS does, which I do not like)
- $300 or less
Given this, the Echos look good, as
do the M-AudioMobilepre and Edirol UA-5.
