Pro Tools® M-Powered™ Essential gives you easy access to many of the same Pro Tools software features that professionals use every day to create Grammy® award-winning albums, Emmy® award-winning television shows, and Academy Award®-winning films. This easy-to-use software lets you create pro-sounding mixes with up to 16 mono or stereo audio tracks. You also get 60+ virtual instrument sounds to play and record, plus EQ and other effects to make your mixes sound professionally produced. It even comes with over 5.5GB of music-making tools to help you get started instantly.

Studio-Quality Features

Fast Track delivers all the studio-quality features and tools you need to make professional-sounding recordings right out of the box. With clean preamps and 24-bit/48kHz sound quality, you can be sure your instruments and vocals are captured with better-than-CD quality sound. High-gain speaker and headphone outputs further ensure you’ll hear your recordings with the utmost fidelity.

One for All Compatibility

In addition to being compatible with GarageBand, Cubase, Live, Logic, SONAR, Reason and other music production software, Fast Track also works with Pro Tools M-Powered 8*—the same recording platform used in countless professional studios around the world to make award-winning albums and film sound.

Record Your Guitar

Want to record guitar with your computer? How about recording bass or keyboards? Fast Track is the answer. Simply connect it via USB to your PC or Mac, plug your instrument into the convenient 1/4” input and you’re good to go. You can also use the included Pro Tools M-Powered Essential recording software and effects to layer tracks with your instruments and create professional-sounding mixes.

Record Vocals and Acoustic Instruments

Just about every recording interface has a mic input that accepts dynamic (unpowered) microphones—the kind most bands use on stage. Fast Track is one of the few in its price range that also features switchable +48V phantom power—allowing you to connect a studio-grade condenser (powered) microphone like the M-Audio Nova for pro-quality recordings. The Fast Track interface’s 2-input, 2-output design even lets you record a vocal mic and another instrument simultaneously so you can capture song ideas or collaborate with other musicians.
