Each input also features a single LED for use when setting levels, which flashes green for a healthy signal level and red when the signal is getting a little hot - basic in terms of metering, but not dissimilar to that found on many compact audio interfaces. A push-button located to the top right of each input allows the user to switch between the front-panel input and the corresponding quarter-inch jack inputs on the rear panel. Two of these (channels 1 and 2) feature combi XLR/TRS connectors suitable for balanced or unbalanced mic and instrument signals, while the other two (channels 3 and 4) use standard XLR sockets. The front panel is dominated by the four microphone inputs. With a footprint not much bigger than a Harry Potter novel, the Fast Track Ultra packs a lot of features into a pretty small space. So if you are in the market for a compact, multi-channel audio interface with a few bells and whistles thrown in, is the Fast Track Ultra worth a serious look?

Very impressive.Refer to the instructions in your audio software for details. The Fast Track Ultra has enough inputs to do a job even at demanding recording sessions, and its output count means that it could comfortably act as a surround sound interface. Three rooms, two halls and one plate reverb setting are offered, as well as delay or echo algorithms, so you're free to select your effect of choice and then apply it across the FTU's I/O mix. There are also studio benefits, bolstered by the discovery that FTU features its own effects program, which enables you to blend and apply monitor reverb.
This has obvious benefits on stage where FTU could actually be used as a sub-mixer. After you've downloaded and installed the driver, you'll find a control program lurking on your computer which enables you to configure the interface in a number of ways.įor starters, you can set levels for all of the inputs and outputs, which can then be saved directly to the unit, so your settings apply irrespective of whether FTU is attached to your computer. Operationally, FTU can provide its eight streams of audio at up to 24-bit/96kHz and, as the preamps are transparent in use, this equates to a high-quality interface.įTU's software integration is impressive, too. This is the FTU's single weak point, with a flimsy, too-easily-detached connector providing the all-important power - we're sure M-Audio could have found a neater solution. To run all the inputs and outputs, you'll need the power supply. In keeping with the latest wave of interfaces of this type, the FTU can be bus-powered from your USB port, though doing restricts the interface to simple stereo I/O operation.
