#SET UP M AUDIO INTERFACE AND MIC MAC#

I also didnвЂ™t notice any latency when recording, either on My Mac where I did the majority of testing, or on my iPad pro. So much so in fact that I am able to plug in and use my Rode Procaster, a dynamic microphone that is notorious for requiring a LOT of gain.

The Crystal preamps in the M-Track Solo perform very well indeed. I usually have to wrestle with abnormally loud noise floors in cheaper interfaces with lower quality preamps. IвЂ™m genuinely surprised by how good the M-track solo sounds. The switches all feel solid too, though The gain knobs on the top of the interface are a wee bit on the shoogly sideвЂ¦ The combo input and jack inputs are both solid, with minimal movement or wobbliness when something is plugged in. Overall the build quality is pretty good considering itвЂ™s made of plastic. On the back of the interface are old school RCA outputs to connect to monitors and thereвЂ™s a USB port here too. ThereвЂ™s a Phantom power LED that lights up when phantom power is engaged and an output control for the headphone or RCA outs here too. An unexpected but welcome feature at this price point. A super useful feature is the clip lights that light up green when an input signal is detected, and turn red if your signal is too hot and youвЂ™re clipping. On the top of the M-Track Solo youвЂ™ll find gain controls for both inputs. вЂњI also didnвЂ™t notice any latency when recording, either on my Mac where I did the majority of testing, or on my iPad Pro.вЂќ Set it to USB and youвЂ™ll hear the audio playback from whatever machine you have it hooked up to whether thats a Mac or an iPad. Set it to Direct and youвЂ™ll hear the direct input signal with all inputs summed to mono. I think iвЂ™d rather have a 1/4вЂќ headphone input if iвЂ™m honest.ДЄnd at the end here a toggle switch which allows you to switch between hearing the direct signal input or the USB stream return signal. ThereвЂ™s a 3.5mm headphone jack here, which I have mixed feelings about. I hate when companies stick it on the back so this is great to see. Next, thereвЂ™s a Phantom power switch, which is mercifully situated on the FRONT of the interface. Next to that is 1/4вЂќ input with a toggle switch to select between line level stuff like for microphones or keyboards or guitars/basses. On the front of the interface is a XLR and 1/4вЂќ TRS cable combo input. The mix of matte and gloss finishes makes the M-track Solo look more premium than it feels. ThatвЂ™s not really surprising at this price point. The interface has a fully plastic construction. Inside the M-Track SoloвЂ™s packaging, youвЂ™ll find the interface itself, a USB B to USB A cable, some documentation вЂ¦ and thatвЂ™s it! вЂњIвЂ™m genuinely surprised by how good the M-track solo sounds.вЂќ WhatвЂ™s in the Box?
