      Not compatible with Apple devices. It might make a good boat anchor though, if I could figure out how to add some weight to it.

      Does not connect to iOS devices. This wasn't mentioned at all in the product description or the manual when product arrived. I found out from Sweetwater of all places—which recommends three options: 1. Use an Apple USB Power Adapter: I can plug it into the wall and use the M-TRACK's direct audio outs into an actual interface or through my headphones? 2. A USB "Breakout" cable, which looks like it will involve some soldering. 3. An official Apple Camera Connection Kit: So I can plug it into my phone, but not my iMac, for another $39 + shipping. Not only does it not connect to my Mac at all, it's encased on lightweight cheap plastic made to look like brushed metal—so feeling a little like I've been lied to twice now. Might work fine on a PC. I wouldn't know.

      I bought this device to record guitar, vocals and stereo record my e-drum kit. However all it is at present is a glorified sound card. Pro Tools no longer supports Pro tools First, and this device has trounced PT and Cakewalk on my system. My older interface doesn't correct this, argh! So, do I have to get a new computer to run this device?

      I bought this because it came with basic DAW software. The ProTools download website has been down for 12 hours. Kinda makes this product a brick unless I want to go get some other DAW software, but I bought it based on the Pro Tools basic software that was supposed to come with it.

    • Fantastic Interface!

      This is fantastic!, I had an old interface which had some latency issues, tried pretty much everything but nothing solved them; went for this one because of the dual microphone/instrument input and I love it!. It is so intuitive and easy to use that even if you haven't use an interface before you should be able to use this one in just a couple of minutes.
