@@kettnercreative I used a Shure SM -58 Model
I also use M audio m track solo to connect mixer to interface via ts jack, since this interface can accept line output on their instrumen input.
This was very helpful. I bought an M Track months ago but literally just bought a microphone today(Shure SM58) I rarely use vocals for my beats just seeing if I’ll continue this.
i owned the M track Duo version with 2 combo xlr and 6.35mm input jack and 6.35mm headphone output jack for the monitor output,it also 6.35mm jack using this audio interface for a months,i encounter the same problem with the gain knob of 90-100%. so far,it is good for my setup in online class in music and fitness(sometimes i used mixer and connect to audio interface)

Great comment. Nice to know that this isn't an issue with my device specifically.
I am so thankful for this video. I have the Duo and it has the same gain knob issue with a dynamic sennheiser mic in that little 9.5 to 10 area. I was thinking I may have gotten a bad one so I'm very glad to see it's just a buggy nuance. Thanks! Given all this, would you say it's best to mainly stick with condenser mics or be relegated to using a preamp if going with a dynamic mic?
The headphone outs are perfect imo, louder than I expected anyway.

works for about 250 OHM?
I see those classic AV40s lol loved those!
great video!! :)
Really cool video! I'm glad I watched it, because the site said that the interface comes with its own software. Apparently, it's not. You saved me a ton of frustration!

you have to register the interface and download the free software
Pretty good
i think im gonna buy this interface and a rode podmic with a klark teknik pre amp, would this be a good beginner xlr setup?
Thank you very much for your video! I´m thinking about buying this interace, but there are 2 questions...perhaps you can help me out with them? First: Is it possible to plug my mic (a SM58) to Line 2 with an XLR to jack cable, or can I only use XLR to XLR cable? And second: Will this audio interface work with audacity? I wish you a great day! Best greetings from Germany! :-)
Is it a good idea to try and make a homemade talkbox with this?
Hey, I'm aware that this video is quite old now. But, do you face any issues with the device since the last drivers released were 2021? I want to get this for my bass guitar and for a possible XLR mic, so I would like to know, thank you for the review!
So this interface only needs a usb b>c cable in order to work with macbooks ? No need for a usb c hub ?
Can you connect iPhone to the interface with a Shuremv7x microphone to get better sound on videos
Can I hear the sound output on my USB head set plug in to my computer? I tried different settings etc and updated driver but can't figure out.
Hi I have a question about the M -audio could I connected to the pod Mic
Weird, mine clips at 5-6 with guitar(passive pickups), and I use it at 7-8 with cond mics, and around 7 on output, I'm guessing it's a quality control issue. Mine seems extra sensitive.
So, I had some of my online guitar students buy this interface so they could use a mic to talk to me and have the guitar on the other channel, then go into Zoom. Problem is, can’t change the sample rate in the Solo control panel. Do you have any ideas?
Can I connect a shure MV7X to my phone??? It’s plugged into my m-track solo and I plugged the usb cord into an iPhone converter but my sound comes off so horrible any tips?
Can i use this to sample records into DAWs?
Hi Jordan. This device has only one output control knob? Like the scarlett solo, I would have to unplug my audio monitor if I wanted to record something with the headphones only?

That's right. I would recommend using it with monitors/speakers like the one in the video with a front facing volume knob. Then you can just turn the monitors down. I would never use this interface with my Yamaha HS5 since the volume is on the back of those monitors.

yes,if you want,you can purchase the M tack duo version,its have a seperate volume knob for monitor and headphone
Hello, I just bought a M-AUDIO DUO the problem is on using a SAMSON C01 STUDIO CONDENSOR it cant just show the blue light, (its not connecting) i tried the mic at the shop the light was on. My Phantom Power is on though.
So it won't connect studio monitors via a RCA to 1/8" cable?
Connect M-Audio to mixer via laptop for live recording, please explain
Question: Do I really need the monitor speakers? And plug them into the back just to get sound?. I had plugged the headphones out with a 1/4" jack on a fender guitar cable and another 1/4" jack on the other end, plugged into the line input of my pc sound card. I have MSi RGB usb headphones but don't hear any sound from them in Cubase 9 & 11 LE. I only have a pair of mobile phone wired head set with 1/4" jack. Do I set the switch to USB to record from that and how do I use my MSi RGB Usb headphones or the mobile phone wired head set. What am I doing wrong?

everything because you have not set up the interface correctly and the headphones being wireless you have to make them your default output in windows but you cannot control them thru the interface because they are not connected to it
They say that they include these things with the m-track, how do I get them? Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition MPC Beats AIR Music Tech Xpand!2 Eleven Lite guitar amp plugin 20 AVID plugin effects I will be thankful if you tell me where from
Does it eork with amplitube?
Hi, I have an M-AUDIO solo and a microphone and a JBL speaker, I wanted to ask if you can explain how I connect so I can teach in zoom format? On line 1 I put my microphone, line 2 is on line 2 and output is USB, how do I connect the JBL speaker? thanks

if your speaker has rca conenctions then you buy rca cables and hook them up
can i ask a very dumb question if i get a xlr to 1/4" can i use the guitar input as a 2nd mic input?
@kettnercreative

You can, but it won't give you phantom power for condenser microphones or inline preamps (like a cloudlifter), and you get ~20dB less gain.
where can I get a software to record on this interface? Its already installed on My PC, I'm on Windows 7, thanks

regsiter the interface and download the software
my problems are with software on this device
18:39 "a little bit more expensive" im broke that's why I chose this budget audio interface 😿
over all on a budget its a cool thing,but for me as a rapper and singer I was looking for something that I could listen to instrumental and record on it, at the same time not seperately. but when you said that it has to be in one mode , either USB or Direct, i found it as a huge cons of this audio interface.

It's $50. You're not going to have a lot of "extras" at this price. I think of this device as a better version of a XLR to USB cable.
Michael scofield is preason break:)
