M-Audio M-Track Solo – USB Audio Interface for Recording, Streaming and Podcasting with XLR, Line and DI Inputs, Plus a Software Suite Included

I wanted an inexpensive but decent audio interface for my older guitar multiple FX pedals that don't have a built in audio interface. Works well, easy to set up, good sound quality, good connectivity, and good value.

People cry over this but it's actually really good. No it's not like the expensive alternatives... Obviously... But for what you're paying it's 100% recordable and produced suitable demos.I recorded a demo on this recently and it turned out great for just a demo. Did the job nicely. Easy to use. Light weight, sml, portable, nice design.Sound quality with my e906, a fender Amp and a fender jazzmaster vintera 62 and some reverb, distortion, flange, chorus and delay sounded awesome.People gna cry because it isn't a focusrite, nor is it £200 like a focusrite... What do you expect lol... Honestly, if you're just doing demo work, ideas, starting out at recording etc. It's totally usable.I'd you're beyond that and wanting to lay proper tracks down to release to spotify, focusrite is recommended obviously.But ignore the haters if this is your budget you won't be disappointed I wasn't and I have the budget for the focusrite, which i do own, but I had to lay a track down quick in the usa and so used this at $40 and was perfect for what I needed it for.

So far this feels like a great purchase, works a treat, not fully tested but have started getting an odd audio drop where it stops working for some reason but it's easily fixable with a usb pulled out and put back in so could be a software thing.

We upgraded our audio set-up recently and bought a couple of really nice mics, so a twin-input XLR audio interface was needed. After debating various interfaces, I decided to take a risk and go for the M-audio as I've used older models in the past with very little issue and it was the cheapest by far. Whenever you go cheap with audio gear theres always an element of finger-crossing, but I need not have worried.A few reviews have complained that it feels tinny, and I would disagree. It is deceptively light for sure, but somehow also manages to feel well built and robust. Theres a good action on the gain knobs and the switches are very positive as well, overall despite the low weight I'd say its actually very nicely made as long as you don't plan on stamping on it or putting a marshall stack on top of it. The XLR inputs grip tightly and securely, infact every single port on this little box feels precise and well made.The level of clarity delivered by this interface is really quite impressive, its a very clear, open and honest sound with no tonal colouring which is always going to be preferred by anyone serious about audio as it's a proper "blank slate" to begin with. I found no noise was introduced to the signal at all until the gain was set above 9, which is excellent. Setting it up was so simple a child could do it, and after downloading the ASIO drivers from the m-audio website it was ready to go in seconds. There are no bells or whistles and frills (it does have switchable phantom power but this is unnecessary for my setup so I can't say if its any good) but I'd say its barebones nature is actually its strength. It looks professional, it sounds professional, and its cheap. I guarantee you won't hear the difference between this and a focusrite or similar, and the only reason to buy above it is if you need more features or are planning on using it to beat your bass guitarist over the head, in which case may I recommend a brick instead. Good stuff.

Cheap and cheerful but surprisingly good features. Perfect for connecting a guitar and/or mic to you a computer to record from. Works seamlessly with my iMac and GarageBand without the need for drivers! Small and lightweight so easy to pack and carry with you. Very handy bit of kit.

Got for a friend, was able to use myself and worked fine and he is still using. Was a little hard to setup.

Been using this for over a year now, and whilst it is perfectly serviceable and does what I need it to, I wish the volume pots were better scaled.For every mic I've tested it with (from Zoom ZDM-1's, and SM-58's, to Blue Yetis) the volume controls basically do nothing until you reach the 8-10 range on the dial. It means that you are making tiny, fractional changes to the volume which has a big impact on the signal volume.It's not a deal-breaker by any means, but it does mean adjusting the inputs for new mics/users is a fiddly process and prone to overdoing it. If they could sort that, it'd be a 5-star review!But hey, at this price you can't really complain when it's handled everything else I've thrown at it.

I got the M-audio Duo (was actually classified as used supplied by Amazon). I'm new to the world of audio interfaces, just wanted something so I could record the midi output from my digital piano and then play it back. I'm using an iPad 9th gen with a powered usb hub and also tried it on my phone (xiaomi note pro) and a Lenovo tablet. Works brilliantly on the ipad and phone, no noticeable lag. Not so good on the Lenovo, sound is lagging terribly, but that's got to be an issue with the Lenovo not the interface.Sound is good as I need it to be, no unwanted noises etc. As for being used, it looks brand new to me. So all in all very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend it.
