Description
The M-Track Solo is the best, most portable recording interface in its class. It delivers 48 kHz audio resolution in a compact and easy to use format that is ideal for creating music on any Mac, PC or iOS device. This versatile interface works great for recording any type of sound source and features a single Combo Crystal Preamp with phantom power, plus a switchable Line / Instrument input making it compatible with any guitar or microphone. Plus, with M-Track Solo’s 2-channel recording you can use both line inputs simultaneously to capture digital pianos, drum machines or any other stereo 1/4″ device. M-track Solo is completely powered by USB, removing the need for an external power supply and making it perfectly portable for recording on-the-go. Throw it into your bag, grab a laptop, and create your next podcast, song, or mix anywhere you want!
M-Track Solo offers zero-latency monitoring of the input signal through both the main RCA outputs and 1/8” headphone outputs. The USB/Direct switch adjusts the balance between the direct inputs and the playback from your computer software. This makes it easy to record new parts or add parts to an existing composition.
The M-Track Solo comes with a complete software package that has everything you need to get started right out of the box. Included are 2 great digital audio workstations (DAW)–Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition and MPC Beats. These DAWs make it easy and fun to create professional sounding podcasts, music, or beat productions on any Mac or PC.
But that’s not all! Included are some extra goodies to help out any podcaster, guitarist, or producer. First on the list are 20 effect plugins provided by AVID, the creators of Pro Tools. This exclusive and diverse collection delivers everything you need for creative production, mixing and mastering, including reverbs, equalizers, delays, filters and so much more.
Next, is AIR Music Tech’s Xpand!2–an amazing sounding synthesizer plugin that you allows you to create synth, string, percussion, organ, and piano sounds with ease. Using everything from wavetables and FM synthesis to sample playback, the expert sound design team at Air Music Tech has carefully created thousands of ready-to-play Xpand!2 presets to get started and to learn how to create your own patches.
Eleven Lite guitar amp plugin is also included which is perfect for capturing any riff that hits you in the middle of the night when you can’t crank your amp to ‘eleven’. With the choice of modern or vintage amps, cabs and sounds that bring you from beautiful cleans to modern hi-gain aggressiveness and everywhere in between, Eleven Lite will help you achieve the wall of sound your recordings need.
Our engineers designed Crystal Preamps to provide you with a transparent, low-noise preamp that guarantees the best sound from your microphones and captures your performance exactly the way you intended.
