Audio Setup
The M-Track Plus is a class-compliant device that can be used with any digital audio
workstation (DAW) or recording software that supports USB audio. To enable your M-Track
Plus to send and receive audio to and from your computer, follow the instructions below for
your computer's operating system.
Be sure your audio software program is set up to receive audio via the M-Track Plus. This can
usually be done in your software's
Preferences
or
Device Setup
. Please consult your
software manual for more information.
Important:
If you experience too much latency after adjusting your software latency settings,
we recommend the M-Track Plus driver at
m-audio.com/drivers
. The M-Track Plus drivers
generally perform better and with lower latency since they create a more efficient
communication between audio devices and software:
