  • In this episode I'll take a look at the ultra-cheap M-Audio M-Track Solo. This entry-level interface comes in at the $50 mark, making it a direct competitor to the Behringer U-Phoria UMC22. How does it perform? Let's take a look!

    Also, another thing the M-Track Solo has over the Behringer interface is that the phantom power switch is at the front. :v

    Great real world review thank you, on the touchy knobs the Ultragain Pro-8 Digital ADA8000 has the same kinda thing going on at the end of the pot. you will find this is the case with cheaper gear, try it on some of your older gear you probably never noticed it, but because the headphone output level was low on that "M-Track Solo" you cranked the input up. Anyway it looked a good bit of gear for the price :)

    Nice job with the track. Very polished. Surprised by the quality of the audio coming out of the M-Track. Sounded decent. Might just be the thing to stick in my backpack when I go out. Having said all that, I've just switched to MacOS and an M1 MacBook Pro after being a Windows user for like forever. First thing I've tried was my trusty Fast Track Pro interface with Reaper, Garage Band and Audacity - no dice with any of them. Interface shows up as a USB audio device but no bueno with any audio software thus far. Kinda bummed by that, which is why I've ended up here hoping that the M-Track might be the solution. At least it looks like it may be supported by macOS Monterey.

      @YHRS  2 роки тому +1

      Wow, that is a lot of latency. My first guess would be to double-check the ASIO buffer settings and see how low of a setting you can get away with (like 64 or 128 samples).

    Hello, this was an amazing review, I want to ask if there was any latency while playing the electric guitar? ( latency between the guitar and the line output/guitar amp). Also, the track duo version has quarter-inch outputs so you can directly connect it to your guitar amp's input.

I'm currently on a Windows PC that I've been meaning to upgrade for a long time, and I've decided to switch and buy a new Mac later this year. Will I be able to transfer the license to that new machine?
    Or should I just save the licenses until I get a new computer?
