M-Audio M-Track 8X4M USB Audio/MIDI interface

M-Audio's M-Track 8X4M 8-In / 4-Out USB audio interface lets you create professional-quality studio recordings. Packed full of sophisticated features and key connections, the audio /MIDI interface is always reliable and flexible, while the 24-bit / 192 kHz resolution of the flawless A/D converters combined with Crystal Preamps provide crystal clear results and the highest audio performance in its class. Packed in an elegant and robust metal housing, the 8X4M also looks great and fits into any studio environment. Last but not least, a comprehensive software package is included so that nothing stands in the way of professional production.

The M-Track 8X4M comes with four combo jacks, two 6.35mm line inputs and two 6.35mm instrument inputs, which allow you to record your guitar and bass in top quality thanks to the specially designed gain and impedance levels. A MIDI I/O, a pair of 6.35mm studio monitor outputs and additional assignable 6.35mm outputs are also on board to be prepared for all common applications. Even the possibility to use separate monitor mixes for two musicians was realized thanks to two 6.35mm headphone outs, which provide separate source and volume settings.

The studio interface is simply connected via USB A or C, regardless of whether a Mac or PC is in use. Practically, both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables are included in the scope of delivery. The Hi-Speed-USB connection enables latency-free monitoring with the USB/Direct Control. This combination of professional audio performance, intuitive features, and the included software package makes the M-Track 8X4M an incredibly versatile high-performance audio interface for any recording session.

Another great advantage is the comprehensive Pro Software Suite, which is included in the scope of delivery. It offers everything you need for professional studio recording to get the most out of them. The software bundle includes two DAWs in which you can work (ProTools First M-Audio Edition & Ableton Live Lite). While ProTools focuses on working with M-Audio hardware, creating, recording and sharing musical ideas worldwide, Ableton Live Lite is one of the most popular applications for music performance and production. It is a powerful music creation tool that allows musicians and producers to spontaneously remix musical ideas in a smooth audio/midi environment.

In addition, there is a complete effects plug-in and virtual instruments package to meet all the requirements of music production.
