fast track pro II for DJing?

[djdarkgrey]

Anybody have any criticisms of the fast track pro line? I want something I can still record vocals with at home, but use as an audio interface at gigs and this appears to be a good cross section of my needs.

Any better ideas or crits?

I had one for a few days. It would drop sound in the middle of gigs. I probably could have returned it for a new one, but I got something else.

I got the Focusrite Sapphire 6 USB and I love it. It's a little bulky, but the case is rock solid. The sound is good enough for a big club too.

The mic preamps are outstanding as well.

Hows the pre's on the saffire?

Also, what kind of latency do you have? My old interface had around 40ms

I set it to about 2ms on my MBP but it can go lower. It's higher on my PC. I think around 15-20.

The pre's are great. I mean, the mix will require some EQ'ing but the pre's have some nice bass to them, good body. I recommend it. Especially because I got it for about $130 on sale at G-Mart (Guitar Center).

Oh, I should point out that it's USB 1.1 not 2.0.

what would be better. to get the audio 2 dj or the saffire?

[ToOntown]

Your criteria was that you wanted something to record vocals so that's why I chimed in about the Saffire... If that's not important and you want to spend less money, get the A2DJ.

I have one of those too. The latency on the MBP is 1ms. Sounds great.

I have fast track ultra, the best investment I have ever made for this interface!

Great in the club, the sound is superb! And I also use it in my studio to record vocals and anything else i want!

Its a bit pricey I think I bought mine a little over $400, but its very stable, not once did I have any problems!

Heres a pic!

Yeah, plenty. Search the forums for Gigaport. People typically have complaints about latency and low output... It works though.
