My M-Audio Audio Interface device arrived this weekend. The Fast Track Pro allows me to record music to my computer via USB 2.0. I can input my MIDI keyboard, or a mic’ed guitar, amp, or vocals, and record them into Logic Express. I purchased Logic Express a few months ago, but haven’t played around with it much without a decent interface. Hopefully now my music composition will see an increase in productivity.
I ordered the Fast Track Pro on from sweetwater.com. A small plug for this company… the customer service was great. I happened to stumble upon them online when looking for this product. I had originally looked at the larger companies: zzounds.com were out of stock, and musiciansfriend.com was too high priced. When I found Sweetwater, I called them and spoke directly with an employee who was very knowledgable about the product and music in general. Even better, my package arrived with candy inside!
I hope to test it out this week and write a full review later.

Hey
I myself is looking for a usb interface. I have been looking on Tascam Us-122 and Fast Track Pro. How is your experiences with the latter?

Hi Mathias,
So far the Fast Track Pro has worked great! I’ve done a little recording with it (nothing extensive.. yet). It works really well for my simple setup: midi keyboard, guitars/amps, and a mic. I am using Logic for sequencing and mixing.
I would recommend getting one if you are looking for a simple audio/midi interface. I’ll try to write a more extensive post on the Fast Track Pro soon (I’ve spent the last few weeks playing around with Logic).
