THE PRIZES

As developers of Pro Tools, the industry's leading audio recording and editing software, as well as top-end Pro Tools HD systems, Avid are synonymous with professional quality. However, they also make a range of popular audio interfaces, which are ideal for solo recording artists and small home studios.

The Avid Fast Track Solo (worth £109) is a compact 2-in, 2-out USB interface with a single microphone input and a single input for recording electric guitar/bass. This makes it ideal for song writers who want to capture their tracks and ideas with professional quality.

The Avid Fast Track Duo (worth £159) adds a little more flexibility for recording purposes. Just like the Fast Track Solo, it has 2 inputs and 2 outputs; however, each of its inputs can be used for recording microphone level signals, instrument level signals (for electric guitar/bass) or line level signals (e.g. for a keyboard/synth).

Last but not least, the Avid MBox (worth £219) is a USB 2.0 interface with two mic/instrument/line inputs, 2 outputs, MIDI I/O (for connecting to MIDI gear) and digital S/DPIF connectivity for hooking up to other digital equipment.

All interfaces also come with Pro Tools Express software, which is a cut-down version of the industry-leading Pro Tools software. Despite not having all the features of the full version, it still gives you plenty of tools for recording and editing your audio in order to create professional tracks. All interfaces also come with an iLok 2 (worth £34.99) for storing the licence)

Owning Pro Tools Express even gives you a cheaper path to crossgrade to the full version of Pro Tools - you can crossgrade for £395 as opposed to buying the full version for £549.

On top of this, the Fast Trak interfaces also come with over £600-worth of additional software, consisting of the Moogerfooger plug-in bundle (which provides plug-in emulations of some of Moog's awesome analogue Moogerfooger units) and the Eleven plug-in, for adding genuine guitar tones to your projects.
