 Simply GREAT Sep 21, 2009
By Y. Erez
I'm a big fan of this audio interface, M-Audio just did everything right here. Very stable, works great on Windows 7 - 64 bit, works wonderful on Sonar 8 and now they finally released proper drivers to make it work on Pro Tools in Windows 64 bit. You have to make sure you download the beta drivers though.

YESSSSSSSSSS!!! Dec 14, 2010
By Seventh
FINALLY a product that works properly under Windows 7 64-bit with Cubase 5.5!!!
First I tried my Creative X-Fi which had decent ASIO drivers, but the general audio on the machine would become robotic and staticy randomly a couple times a day, which got really annoying. The only way to fix it was to reboot. I'd have thought I got a bad card if it wasn't for countless other reports online of people with the same problem in Vista 64-bit/Win7 64-bit.
Next I tried an Asus Xonar Essence STX and their drivers didn't properly install the ASIO capability... Cubase did not see the cards as ASIO capable, and so I had no ASIO device. Foobar2000 did see the ASIO driver and work properly. But I just found it ironic that it didn't work properly with Cubase when Steinberg (the company that makes Cubase) created ASIO... clearly Asus was not up to spec. Returned it.
Next I tried an ESI Maya44e thinking that since it came bundled with an old version of Cubase it would be guaranteed to work fine with it. Not the case! It worked okay, however every minute or two there was popping that would occur in the audio when using it through ASIO in Cubase, despite having low latencies :( The software package they had for the product was obviously stale and the company is based in Germany, so good luck getting tech support. I tried getting updated drivers and found many pages on their website... like the driver download page... resulted in a 404 error. Yeah, that inspires confidence. Returned it.
Next up I tried a Presonus Firestudio Mobile. They seemed dedicated to serving the home musician community, and had good marketing materials and reputation, so I bought one. The problem with it was that in Win 7 64-bit, randomly after a couple of hours of serving up general audio from my PC, it would drop all audio until I either disabled and re-enabled the device, or restarted the PC. I tried to work with their tech support but once they ran out of their typical solutions like "try a different computer.. try a different cable.. make sure your DPC latency is not high.." etc., they got frustrated the tech support guy there named Jason got very insecure because he didn't know how to fix it. I was trying to tell him I'm a power user and have done all the research and also work for a company that makes drivers for computer hardware, so I'm not going to sit there and listen to ideas like defragging my system, or disabling Aero to solve a problem that happens across multiple machines and chipsets for me. I returned the Presonus because they refused to put me in contact with someone that was more knowledgeable there and they clearly had no solutions and kept blaming my high end system as the culprit.
Finally I picked up this M-Audio 610. Before I was aware of this product, I had only seen some of their basic products and I thought they only made entry level crapware that was sold at Best Buy. However I was pleasantly surprised to find no popping in my audio, and that ASIO shows up and works beautifully in Cubase with.. get this.. 1 year old drivers. Yes M-Audio has had this working fine with Windows 7 64-bit for a year and has not needed to update their drivers. Meanwhile everyone else still struggles to properly QA their products.
THANK YOU M-AUDIO!

Good bang for your buck Aug 03, 2010
By A1
Well priced, good updates from the 410 and greater I/O capacity. Only complaint is the volume control on the front. I design sound for theaters, and everything needs to be exactly the same every show. The ability to control the line level output manually on the front of the unit is a feature for other users, but a potential problem for me. if you disable it, the gain defaults to the max.

Best interface I've ever used. Sep 27, 2010
By A. Jackson
"john biggersmith"
I picked up this interface about a year and a half ago to use for DJing and production. There's only one word that can describe it: amazing. I run Live on a Mac and I've never had a single problem with this interface. 4 channels out and 1 in will fill up any DJ mixer and let you record at the same time. Having to buy 1/4" to RCA cables was a pain, but after using them I wish my mixer had 1/4" inputs instead of RCA. Power over Firewire is great too, one cable to the computer and you're ready to go.
If you're in need of a serious audio interface for whatever you do, don't look any further than this one.
Professional sound at an entry level price! Sep 13, 2011
By coldblooded
This interface is amazing! True HD reording, pristine sound, and 100% compatible with Logic Pro 9 on my mac mini.I use this in conjunction with the AKG c214 mic, and 2 Yamaha HS80 Flat response monitors. Everone says that my reordings sound professional!Bought mine used from Amazon, only issue was that the phantom power didnt work, but I just used a preamp. Other than that, it's perfect.
