Built-in Effects Processing
Tired of tracking vocals and instruments dry because plug-in effects introduce too much
latency? Fast Track Ultra 8R features MX Core DSP technology to give you reverb and delay
on the headphone outputs with separate sends for every channel. Now you can inspire
creativity by adding effects-without taxing your CPU resources.
Eight Professional Preamps with Octane Technology
The quality of your recordings is only as good as the initial signal. The Fast Track Ultra
8R features eight preamps with multi-award-winning M-Audio Octane™ technology,
creating a premium front end that delivers exceptional audio clarity. You get
professional, low-noise, high-gain preamplification with enough channels for applications
like miking drum kits or recording complete ensembles. Features include +48V phantom power
for condenser mics, signal/peak LED indicator lights and a pull-out gain knob that
activates a 20dB pad for recording at high volumes. See why world-class artists choose the

Make the Connection
The Fast Track Ultra 8R was designed to provide all the I/O you need for your project
studio.
Eight channels of analog inputs and outputs plus 2-channel digital S/PDIF provide input
flexibility with room to grow.
Unlike most USB interfaces, it features two dedicated analog inserts on the first two c
hannels, allowing you to insert outboard processing before A/D conversion
. Easy connection via USB 2.0 delivers both audio and MIDI communication with your
computer. Fast Track Ultra 8R is compatible with most major audio software and seamlessly
integrates into any studio setup.
MX Core DSP technology for sophisticated channel routing
Fast Track Ultra 8R makes it easy to create multiple monitor mixes when recording other
musicians.
The robust MX Core™ mixer employs an array of eight individual DSP cores to deliver
near-zero latency and a matrix for sophisticated channel routing options-accessible via an
intuitive control panel that utilizes a separate mixer for
each pair of outputs.
The mixer expands the total I/O to an impressive 16 x 8 configuration, allowing you to
connect synths and
outboard gear to any of the interface's hardware inputs, then mix them with the eight
audio
streams coming from your computer.
Dual Headphone Amp
Whether you usually track vocals or an ensemble, you're likely to need multiple headphone
mixes.
Fast Track Ultra 8R has two completely independent headphone outputs so you can take
advantage of the DSP mixer's powerful routing options and create the right mix for your
performers-complete with reverb and delay.
