Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of M-Audio Session with Fast Track USB: an
audio interface and software package designed for easy integration with your
computer.
The M-Audio Session software for Windows contained in this bundle allows you to
make professional-sounding songs and remixes the first time you open the software—
even if you’ve never played a note before. If you have some musical experience,
Session can take your ideas to the next level with a built-in virtual synthesizer and
studio quality effects.
The included Fast Track USB is a quality audio interface for Windows or Mac
OS X. It features an XLR microphone input, a TRS line/instrument input, stereo RCA
outputs, and a headphone output. It uses the convenience of USB connectivity, so
there’s no need to disassemble your computer and no bulky external power supply.
Fast Track USB gives you full 24-bit digital audio, supporting popular 44.1kHz and
48kHz sampling rates. With its lightweight form factor and compact design, you can
carry it with you anywhere.
We recommend you spend a few minutes reviewing this User Guide to ensure
proper setup.
