M-Audio Announces Trigger Finger Pro & M-Track Eight Interface
Winter NAMM, 2014 is underway and M-Audio wasted no time introducing two new audio devices that bring new features to their existing line of products. First up is an addition to their M-Track interface line, the M-Track Eight.
The new interface introduces users to affordable mic preamps with low noise and 24-bit/96kHz recording capability. The interface is also bundled with Pro Tools Express and an iLok key.
The M-Track Eight is equipped with eight 1/4″/XLR combo pres with auto detect.
Next up, M-Audio introduced Trigger Finger Pro. Inspired by their original Trigger Finger controller, Trigger Finger Pro brings us drum pads and onboard sequencing among plenty of other features. With a total of 48 assignable parameters including 16 illuminated RGB pads, Trigger Finger Pro can integrate seamlessly with DAWs using M-Audio Aresenal software that comes with over 8 GB of new sounds.
The Trigger Finger Pro is a USB controller equipped with Arsenal sound banks, internal sequencing and more.
