I updated my MacOS to Sierra on day one and that took out my fancy Thunderbolt UAD Apollo Twin which costed me $900 - there is no updated driver for it yet. Guess what? With a Mac the M-Track doesn't need a driver and it does indeed work with Sierra. This is true plug and play, although naturally you have to select it in the sound preferences for regular audio and in Logic or your DAW of choice which is a simple preference choice for audio in and out. There's one port each for mic and instrument and dedicated gain knobs for each. And another 1/4" port and knob for headphones. There are two balanced 1/4" outs for your powered monitor speakers and a lovely big knob to control their volume. All the knobs have a perfect amount of resistance and the entire unit looks and sounds absolutely premium. After hearing my audio through the M-Track, I don't see ever going back to the much more expensive Apollo Twin. The M-Track is as good or better – stellar sound. Trust me, this M-Track is the way to go regardless of price. Take my Apollo Twin, PLEASE!

I used my M-Audio Fast Track Pro for over 9 years, I'd say it held up pretty good after multiple moves and many, many hours of use. Sadly, it died. I picked up the M-Audio M-Track 2x2 as a replacement. Very happy thus far. It's a little more basic than my Fast Track Pro, but in a good way. It's simple for new users, but just as powerful for experienced users. This model does not have a midi ports, the next model up does. No worries really, I have a midi-sport to connect my midi controller.

So this really has all the features you need for a Home Studio. Obviously if you want to record more than two tracks at a time, you'll need a different option for a ADA.

One thing that I love, is this thing is sexy and looks much better than ADA in the past. My Fast Track Pro was very plastic-ee although it really held up well. The new M-Track 2x2 is much better looking and more simple to use and operate, defiantly a plus.

New or Experienced users will like this, by the way I do not work for GC or any other retailer, just a lonely guy on a trek to make kick butt music. You won't regret this purchase.

Oh, I am using a Mac, so I can't say anything for the PC drivers and it's functionality.

Cheers! and Rock on Good People of Earth!

The little knob on the right allows a blend of virtual zero latency from the M-unit, with whatever latency the DAW computer record is returning. This seems arcane, but it is actually epic, to be able to record monitor and perform at zero latency. Wow. This device is elegant, and a high value for the price.

So far I really like this interface and I've only had it a couple weeks now. I'm using it at my home setup for music productions purposes and audio mixing but I have the ability to hook up an instrument or microphone if I ever need to record. It comes with some great freebies like Xpand!2, Strike, Mini Grand, Creative FX Collection and cubase le which was easy to download and install. It was also one of the reasons why I chose to purchase it over other interfaces in this price range. The other reason was the sleek and modern design, I really like the black color and big knob in the center. Very nice looking interface and extremely portable! It works as expected on both my macbook pro running Mavericks 10.9.5 and windows 7 asus laptop. I'm disappointed with GC about the in-store pick up option. On their site it said the item was in-stock at my local store so I thought I'd be able to pick it up the same day however this wasnt the case. When I went to the store hours after placing my order, the only thing they had in stock was an already opened item. I won't purchase items that have already been opened because you run the risk that the software has already been registered by the previous buyer. Therefore I had to wait for my item to be shipped from another location which took several days. Always call the store first to see if the item you want is really in stock.

i bought this unit because my focusrite 214 went bad so i bought this because of its style , it look nice and easily accessible on a desk , being that the knob are slanted vertically but it sounds cheap .. the vocals are clear but they're too clear .. TOO SHARP sounding if you know what i mean .. the focus right had a warmer sound .. much better for vocals .. when i first boght the focusrite i was surprised how well it sounded for its price .. its a much better value .. needless to say im returning the m-audio back to guitar and getting me another focusrite , and when that one breaks im buying a new one

Great interface! Works great with my yamaha hs5s. The sound is nice and warm. Very easy and compatible. Have yet to use the mic/instrument input. Good weight for its size, seems very sturdy. It does its job for a very affordable price.

I bought this at the beginning of 2018, and so far, so good. (I'll never give anything five stars only because nothing's perfect.) It's simple to use; it comes with all the instructions you need (and it even comes with two USB cords!) and it's very intuitive. My only caution would be to use EXACTLY the type of cords specified in the instructions, as TS or TRS ends do make a difference. Fortunately, Guitar Center had whatever I needed once I figured out I needed it.

I like it. Ir works like it said it would. I haven't used it enough to give it 5 stars, but so far it's definitely 4 stars. I bought it to send analog signal to my PC that was then made digital. I wanted to add 'LIVE" drums to a song I wrote. I used a 16 track board. The board was not midi. Very blurry sound, I E.Qed the tracks. I also got to much reverb from my house walls. I screwed up, thinking my way would work. In future recordings I will use the 2x2 to record live guitars, bass and keys. If I get a mixing board with midi capabilities it would render the 2x2 obsolete.

I was looking for an audio interface to drive my Audio Technica M50x's and my monitors. Came across this device and decided to give it a shot...it is now my go to interface! The DAC performance is amazing! My M50x's "woke up" with this interface. The sound stage is also much wider and more distinct. Can't comment on the imput preamps, haven't used them yet.

If you're looking to pipe guitar and vocals into your laptop and out through the PA, then this is for you! If you're looking to re-route audio for recording directly into your DAW, then this is for you! If you're looking to upjump the features on your MPC or other Sampling device, then this might be for you! So you are a One Man Band, then this IS FOR YOU! It's very versatile for what it has and what it can do. You have to be creative but this device will help to multiply your efforts and get your workflow happening much sooner! Maximize your creative efforts and use Amplitube with your Guitar Rig, pipe it out through the laptop with the P.A. at the same time you have your microphone on line, add a second USB mic, and plug your USB MIDI Keyboard in at the same time you have your Guitar on line... This is JUST AS GOOD AS APOLLO for the SMALL Experienced to Professional HOME or SMALL Recording Studio or Performance Setting!! Just as good!!

My old M Audio interface was malfunctioning. Luckily I had the Pro Coverage warranty and it covered the cost of this one (minus roughly $20 in taxes and warranty). This new one looks great and sounds great!

I got this for my solo project to be able to monitor and record simultaneously...i was using the micro cube with cube link but that limits you to only use a phone to record(which sucks really) so this was a HUGE step up to be able to plug right into my computer and play and record multiple tracks while still monitoring my drum track/rhythm guitar...I have found that if you monitor through your computer and not the interface there is ZERO latency and is absolutely perfect for jamming/practicing/recording music...it sounds great once you get your settings where you want them..love this thing, it just unlocked a whole new world of possibilities for me

It's ok for what it is. Very limited functionality, but good if it's just you recording at home. The large knob in the center seems useless. I have turned it both directions during instrument and vocal recording and it did nothing. It's also a large item, about twice the size of the M-Audio interface I used previously.

I had te previous model, not much difference but after 12 years of sevice it pooped out.

I utilize M-Track 2X2 for recording vocals; and it is a great audio interface. I have been using M-Audio products ever since the Digidesign MBox 2 and I am still satisfied with their products.

When my mixer power adapter died I decide to buy an audio interface. What a difference it makes!!!. I play guitar for 35 years, and recording for 12. I haven't have previous experience with audio interfaces, so I can't tell if other brands are better or worse, what I can tell is that this one sound really really good. When recording bass or guitar thru dedicated front jack input the sound is crystal clear and wormy. I still use for non recording stuff an old M-audio Audiophile 2496 that in my opinion sounds great, but in connection with a mixer the clarity is unacceptable now.

I just wanted to use my m-audio monitor's on my desktop and the 2x2 hooked me up and now I see it does even more!
