M-TRACK DUO M-AUDIO AUDIO INTERFACE

M-Track opens the door to creating computer-controlled music. M-Audio®'s M-Track interface transforms your computer into a digital recording studio with plug-and-play simplicity. A single USB cable provides both power and a data connection to and from your laptop or desktop computer. M-Track provides the right connections for every instrument, from an electric guitar to a professional capacitor. The low-profile format delivers professional control in a portable package. M-Track includes both Ignite by AIR and Ableton™ Live Lite music programs. M-Track features a versatile range of inputs to provide the best results with any type of audio source. Each channel provides an XLR input and a balanced 1/4" input. The XLR input is designed to work with microphones or other Lo-Z sources. The phantom power switch supplies 48V to the XLR inputs for use with professional condenser microphones. The 1/4" input can be set to receive a signal at line level, or can be switched to connect an electric guitar or bass directly to the M-Track. The gain knob ensures the correct input level. Each input channel is also equipped with an insert jack, a professional addition not often found in this class of interface. The insert jack makes it possible to use studio-grade effects with any input source while recording. M-Track provides ultra-low latency monitoring of the input signal - either through the speakers or headphones. The monitor mix button adjusts the balance between direct inputs and playback from your computer software. In addition, the input signal (or inputs) can be monitored in stereo or mono using the convenient Stereo/Mono switch. This makes it easy to record new parts or add parts to an existing composition. The headphone output provides its own level control. In addition to the two audio channels, M-Track also supports 16 channels with MIDI data and time information. MIDI-in and MIDI-out are compatible with all MIDI devices. Multi-color LED measurement systems provide direct visual feedback of the main output levels and the status of the various M-Track settings. Ignite offers a refreshingly original and musically oriented way to quickly capture, combine and arrange your musical ideas. The intuitive graphical interface encourages you to experiment and explore new directions. Smart MIDI Chord and Phrase Players empower your ideas and bring them to life through more than 275 superior instrument sounds created by AIR Music Technology. When you're ready to collaborate with other musicians or take your ideas to the next level, you can share them through SoundCloud or export and import your WAV and MIDI files into Pro Tools or DAW software. Best of all, Ignite offers seamless integration with your M-Audio keyboard controller, without the need for setup jobs. Ableton Live Lite delivers much of the functionality of Ableton Live - the revolutionary, multi-award winning music production solution that lets you spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. Live brings together your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments, as well as your digital audio recordings and MIDI sequences, in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use.
