M-AudioM-Track Duo – USB Audio Interface for Recording, Streaming and Podcasting with Dual XLR, Line & DI Inputs, plus a Software Suite Included

fantastic value. I see complaints about gain, and it's true, you will end up using things at about 60-80% gain, but it still leaves more modulation on the table. Also, I think that the gain is calibrated this way to give you some flexibility for mics that are really hot. I use it to record instruments and vocals with XML 770 mics, which are also a great value. If you use your ears, you can make studio quality recordings with that combo. As far as durability, I have dropped mine and abused it so it's definitely well built. I also have used this for teaching online piano lessons where one channel captures the piano and the other captures my voice, and the interface provides adequate mixing for a good-sounding call. I really like that it doesn't require any interface software; on windows and Mac you can just plug it in and use it.

Muy feliz con mi producto. Una calidad que superó mis expectativas. Lo recomiendo 150% 🙏🙏🙏

Avid, what can I say. It does what it does.

Packaging - Comes with everything you need, including the cable to plug into a computer. It comes with a paper with the information about the free software you get from buying it. I haven't tried it though.Build quality - Fine, no metal. Completely plastic box.Noise - I don't hear any buzz or hiss when monitoring with my headphones, even with gain all the way up.Inputs - Good, having 2 XLR ports in this price seems pretty good compared to others. Headphone port alters sound a bit using it on my PC, so I only use it for direct monitoring. I don't use the speaker outputs on the back either, so can't comment on that.Design - Good, I like the small size. I put it underneath a little lift on my desk that my monitors are on, and it slides under nicely. But since the knobs are on top it's not very easy to adjust them, but I never need to.I only use this to plug my Shure SM57 into, and I don't hear any noise or buzz of any kind when monitoring my microphone with my headphones.I also have to have the gain all the way up for my SM57 to be loud enough, and even then I'd like it to be a little louder. But even with the gain all the way up there's no noise or buzz of any sorts.I tried plugging a guitar into it but I didn't switch it from line to guitar mode, so maybe that's why it didnt sound very good. I'm too lazy to test it again right now.When you get the gain knob to 90% and greater, the gain gets extremely sensitive. 95% - 100% is a huge jump in loudness. I've seen other people say that too, so I'm not sure why it does that.I don't require the phantom power for anything so I can't comment on that.When plugging my headphones into it to use it on my computer, it seems like it alters the sound compared to when I just plug my headphones directly into my computer, and I don't like it as much, so I don't use it for that.The direct monitoring is good though, no latency or anything. I'm not sure if the monitoring knob is sensitive like the gain because I have no reason to turn it that high.

Never bought or used one before so I don’t really have a frame of reference to say if it’s good or bad. I can say it arrived on time, in one piece and it works! Have only had it a week or 2 and I think I’ve already gotten my money worth.I can also say I like my cat, that way you know I’m not some bot or paid customers. Bots and paid customers don’t say they like their cat in the middle of audio interface reviews.

Nice one, i got some noise but, it's okey by its price!

Excelente

I bought this and getting it to work was such a pain in the ass.After I got it working there are moments where it randomly stops picking up my voice but I still get audio and to fix it every time, I have to go into it's sound setting, change the input format to something else then change it back.Not to mention the static I hear when the mic noise goes past 6 on the dial.The mic is also unusable unless I have phantom power enabled.The problem is phantom power makes it use too much power from the USB slot and keeps messing with my pc.If I have it turned on during PC boot up, my PC won't boot up at all and I get an error screen saying a usb device is using up too much power and PC will auto shutoff. NEVER seen this issue/screen popup until this POS came into my life.After 2 days this thing stopped working completely.I get no audio or voice from it, with or without phantom power enabled.Tried reinstalling it's "driver", pc restarts, everything.This thing has literally been nothing but a pain in my ass since I got it and a huge headache.Not worth your money, it has horrible pc compatibility, no features other than volume dials, and it's just so a huge headache to deal with. AVOID THIS ITEM.
