The other day I brought my little Fast Track Pro to the jam space where the ProFire has been sitting for a month or 2. Did a little test with just one mic and a few of us in the room, just kinda talking and bullshitting.
Turns out - the FTP is so goddamn noisy and the quality is just nowhere even close to the ProFire. I was floored and didn't believe it at first. I figured maybe since I was running RCA cables out of the FTP into our PA head that maybe that was causing the noise. So I played back the audio we recorded with the FTP THRU the ProFire (1/4" cable to PA), and still noisy.
So, I must say I'm pretty glad I went for the ProFire.
Anyone else want to chime in with thoughts or experience with M-Audio gear?
