The world of audio interfaces is extremely lacking at the moment in terms of
accessibility.
The FastTrack, excluding the basic FastTrack USB, includes control panel
software that is mostly inaccessible. However, I suggest it to people that are
on a budget, and are using computers without Firewire, or that include Firewire
controllers of undetermined compatibility. Besides being very affordable, the
FastTrack has good audio quality for the price, front panel control over direct
monitoring, very stable drivers (including good 64-bit support), and is
compatible with both Mac and Pro Tools (should people wish to try that
environment, also). It has a lot of flexibility, and works with just about any
computer. The control panel accessibility is a disappointment, but it is the
best compromise that I've been able to work out without insisting that people
get and configure additional software to gain access to their interface.

Phil replied: indeed.
Dave wrote: Have certainly seen the units you are speaking of and easy enough
to find even locally which is good.
Have you had any experience with this Fast Track ultra and if so, is my
experience typical or am i possibly missing something.
Phil replied: only encountered a fast track briefly so, can't really comment on
it.

software and just can't read it for some reason or if others also find it not
very user friendly.
Phil replied: I shal leave others to comment on that.
