High-Speed USB 8 x 8 Audio/MIDI
Interface with 8 Preamps
The Fast Track Ultra 8R features USB 2.0 connectivity, MX Core
DSP mixer, and eight preamps with award-winning Octane technology,
built into a rugged 1U rack-mountable metal chassis. 24-bit/96kHz resolution
throughout the recording and monitoring process allows you to take advantage of the
exceptional fidelity on all of the inputs and outputs simultaneously.
◆ The MX Core mixer employs an array of
eight individual DSP cores to deliver near-
zero latency, effects and a sophisticated
routing matrix, accessible via an intuitive
control panel that utilizes a separate mixer
for each pair of outputs — all without bur-
dening the computer.
◆ Apply reverb while tracking vocals to get
more out of an artist’s performance, and
take advantage of two independent head-
phone outputs to create separate monitor
mixes when recording multiple musicians.
◆ The mixer provides for up to a 16 x 8
configuration, allowing you to connect
microphones, synths and other outboard
gear to any of the interface's hardware
inputs, then mix them with the eight audio
streams coming from the computer
without taxing the CPU.
◆ Reverb and delay is available on the
headphone outputs with separate sends
for every channel. Now you can inspire
creativity by adding effects—without
taxing your CPU resources.
