I have this same card and the little recording I did with it sounded alright I guess but it wasn't much and it was when I had the kurzweil pc2 which I have since returned. We're in the middle of trying to sell or lease this house and find a bigger place so for right now, a new keyboard is in the waiting for a bit. I read pretty good reviews on this card as well and since I got mine used from someone on craigslist, there's no returning it. Even when I get a new board, a dedicated recording pc won't be in the works for maybe another year or so which means that I'll just use the setup I have here. Perhaps in that time something better will come along in terms of external sound cards but we'll see. Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: D!J!X!

Now I'm getting rid of my perfectly fine delta1010lt, because m-audio refuses to fix whatever issues are plaguing their newest drivers for windows7, which on most modern systems introduce this horrible sounds. There are some work arounds which may or may not work, but they're not recommendable for everyone, and it should be fixed at the root of the problem, now with extraneous work arounds... Supposedly it has something to do with the way it buffers between the application and the memory. That's the only response we've gotten from m-audio. No word on a fix and if they'll even make 1. So any xp users who want a nice interface who are still using not-so-recent hardware, if you want a delta1010lt in perfectly working condition, let me know!

I have playback on my M-Audio just fine, but when I plug in my myk and record, it's scratchy and not very good. With my vista, the same thing, great for playback and recording, but it would just randomly stop working after a while. Is this the Audio Interface you're talking about? http://www.mackie.com/products/onyxiseries/ Thank you, Brandon Keith Check out MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/brandonkeithcom Also add me on facebook! brandonkeith From: Bryan Smart Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 4:08 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: M-audio fast track pro Yes. M-Audio used to be well known for rock solid drivers. Strangely enough, they're now notorious for terrible drivers. M-Audio is no longer a company. M-Audio was purchased a few years back by Avid. Avid now uses M-Audio as a trade name for multimedia products that they make for low-cost consumer applications. That's why older M-Audio product seem quite a bit more premium than the million varieties of cheaply built plastic junk that they sell now. Unfortunately, even the older gear needs newer drivers to work with newer versions of Windows. Avid doesn't seem to feel that it is a priority to support gear that they no longer sell. Besides, they aren't worried about M-Audio's professional reputation, since pros wouldn't buy any of their current gear. They only care that casual purchasers at local computer stores will recognize the M-Audio name, and will make their $150 impulse purchase of a M-Audio plastic thing over their competitor's $150 plastic thing. M-Audio was good competition for Avid, anyway, so killing off M-Audio's better product lines and eating through their reputation only helps them out. Sorry to say that there aren't hardly any good, inexpensive, and accessible interfaces out now. The great buy, for quality and accessibility, at the moment, are the Mackie Onyx mixers. The 820I is $400, and certainly isn't little/portable, though. It would be fine at home, but not for carrying around with a laptop. Maybe one of the Edirol interfaces would work for dirt cheap ($100), but be prepared to go through a bit of accessibility frustration.

However, with vista is is rubbish. I suspect their new update drivers are rubbish for windos 7 as well. --- On Tue, 2/11/10, Nickus de Vos <bigboy529@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Nickus de Vos <bigboy529@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ddots-l] M-audio fast track pro To: "Dancing dots" <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tuesday, 2 November, 2010, 14:31 Hi all i want to get myself a small sound card and i'm looking at the fast track pro, does anyone have one or does anyone have a opinion on it, i don't want to buy something that's not going to work for me.
