thank you for filming this to us, it helps so so much to clear things up, you get a like and a comment for that. much love

i owned the M track Duo version
with 2 combo xlr and 6.35mm input jack and 6.35mm headphone output jack
for the monitor output, it also 6.35mm jack

using this audio interface for a months, i encounter the same problem with the gain knob of 90-100%.

so far, it is good for my setup in online class in music and fitness(sometimes i used mixer and connect to audio interface)

[bernardussamuel]

I also use M audio m track solo to connect mixer to interface via ts jack, since this interface can accept line output on their instrumen input.

[voiceofvaishhhh]

thank you so so much. just what i was looking for. was so confused about the different cable/audio connectors.

[Mr.point]

This was very helpful. I bought an M Track months ago but literally just bought a microphone today(Shure SM58) I rarely use vocals for my beats just seeing if I’ll continue this.

[mattuofe]

Super helpful. The best review I've seen so far. I just got the audio interface... I was wondering how to work it but this gave me the necessary knowledge. Thank you

[judix]

this video helped me a lot, specially when you demonstrated with the beyerdinamic DT990 because thats the headset i want to buy, so thank you a lot for this gerat video

[WE.R.NOT.OK.W.U.TRMP_GTFO]

The headphone outs are perfect imo, louder than I expected anyway.

[AllanDee]

I am so thankful for this video. I have the Duo and it has the same gain knob issue with a dynamic sennheiser mic in that little 9.5 to 10 area. I was thinking I may have gotten a bad one so I'm very glad to see it's just a buggy nuance. Thanks! Given all this, would you say it's best to mainly stick with condenser mics or be relegated to using a preamp if going with a dynamic mic?

[SnorrieMan]

18:39 "a little bit more expensive" im broke that's why I chose this budget audio interface 😿

[seel]

Most helpful review videos i've come across, thanks!

[max_wav]

Hey, I'm aware that this video is quite old now. But, do you face any issues with the device since the last drivers released were 2021? I want to get this for my bass guitar and for a possible XLR mic, so I would like to know, thank you for the review!

[jimmy]

So, I had some of my online guitar students buy this interface so they could use a mic to talk to me and have the guitar on the other channel, then go into Zoom. Problem is, can’t change the sample rate in the Solo control panel. Do you have any ideas?

[LordVandor]

Is it a good idea to try and make a homemade talkbox with this?

[memistic]

i think im gonna buy this interface and a rode podmic with a klark teknik pre amp, would this be a good beginner xlr setup?

[booksandboardgames]

Really cool video! I'm glad I watched it, because the site said that the interface comes with its own software. Apparently, it's not. You saved me a ton of frustration!

[Vashaco]

They say that they include these things with the m-track, how do I get them?
Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition
MPC Beats
AIR Music Tech Xpand!2
Eleven Lite guitar amp plugin
20 AVID plugin effects
I will be thankful if you tell me where from

[blow]

Thank you very much for your video!
I´m thinking about buying this interace, but there are 2 questions...perhaps you can help me out with them?

First: Is it possible to plug my mic (a SM58) to Line 2 with an XLR to jack cable, or can I only use XLR to XLR cable?

And second: Will this audio interface work with audacity?

I wish you a great day!

Best greetings from Germany! :-)

So this interface only needs a usb b>c cable in order to work with macbooks ? No need for a usb c hub ?

[angelacolucci]

Can I connect a shure MV7X to my phone??? It’s plugged into my m-track solo and I plugged the usb cord into an iPhone converter but my sound comes off so horrible any tips?
