Hi all, brand new around these parts, did a lot of searching and either I am a moron, or I just cant find the info I am looking for.
I have been out of the taping loop for a few years, marriage>baby>life>etc, but I am taking some small steps to get back into the game.
I am a purely amateur taper, at my "height" I used to tape my friends band every night they played using my matched pair of Oktava MK-012's, MAudio Duo and Sony M1 DAT recorder.
I wanted to start taping my wife's, uncle's shows when he plays using my laptop and apparently my DUO is not going to work with Windows 7 from what I have been reading. I am looking at the Fast Track Pro as a simple, cheap, preamp and USB interface. Anyone have anything horrible to say about it (besides driver issues)? I realize its not the best device, but this is going to be just a family fun thing so I dont wan to spend a gazillion dollars. Battery power is not an issue because I will have full access to plug in wall warts galore, and I would also like to use it to get some of my DAT's of my buddies band onto the computer for us.
I am not a noob to forums, active member on Expresso Beans (rock poster site) and others, so I fully understand if you move/delete my thread and a call me a noob.
Thanks for any info, great site you have here.
