Dancing Dots often sells the FastTrack USB to people that are on extreme
budgets.
 
The drivers are stable, it works well with Sonar, and it has simple
controls.
 
However...
 
It has only a single mono input that can be used for a mic or
instrument.
 
Its mic input does not support phantom power, so you can only use it
with dynamic microphones.
 
The software control panel, as with most M-Audio products, isn't
particularly accessible.
 
It is good if you're broke. However, you'd be served far better by
waiting a month or two, saving some money, and buying something that is
more flexible and accessible than the FastTrack USB.

Subject: [ddots-l] Woot - Fast Track today!


Someone at my office said that the M-Audio Fast Track USB was on Woot
today for $60.  I did a tiny bit of research on it before posting this,
but of course, most sites are blocked here at work.  But has anyone ever
used this Fast Track for recording guitar?  Is it compatible with Sonar?
Would it be accessible in regards to JAWS?  If it is as good as it says
it is, then it's not a bad price.
