Perhaps, I’ll have some time someday to write a user-friendly “how to” on making recordings with the MobilePre… Things are so hectic that I don’t usually have enough time to write a book or tutorial, though… But I will keep this review in the realm of just that – a review (not a how-to). You can see more about the M-Audio Mobile Pre (now V2!) here at – Still a bargain 5 years later!īear in mind that I could write an entire book on using the MobilePre in the recording process, along with its nuances, its quirks, its strengths, and its weaknesses. Although I have more advanced recording equipment and gear, I still keep my MobilePre around to do clean-channel acoustic recordings and to do on-the-go recordings. What do you do if you want to record one or two instruments/mics at a time? What if your budget is tight, and you want to get started with making music, voice, or sound effect recordings? I’ve found the MobilePre USB from M-Audio to be an excellent starting point. There are also some that are very high-end, with huge mixer interfaces and large numbers of instrument/mic inputs. There are some that are ultra-basic and well-suited for jamming along with your favorite music.

The market has become filled with recording interfaces for personal computers. Macintoshes with OSX now ship with GarageBand – an excellent means of recording – simple, effective, and transparent (it doesn’t get in the way of the creative process). Processors, hard drives, and RAM are now sufficient to (at least) record music and store it on their disks. Tons of people now own computers that are capable of recording music. M-Audio MobilePre USB Guitar/Microphone Recording Interface and Mic Pre Review I still use one of these from time to time on travel recordings… Good stuff, still supported by even the latest Mac OS and Windows… still going strong! Once again any help please comment.I originally wrote this review April 12, 2007. I believe it might be a buffer size issue but I'm not sure. I understand not to put all faith in the sound graph, but it shows it as there it's just that the playback just isn't. The latency itself doesn't bother me it's the fact that it doesn't record the whole segement. Second I have a huge latency problem that shouldn't be there. This can't be done because my disc won't install so if you have any suggestions about that please comment. The problem with this is that I had to do this first because the driver wouldn't install from the cd, but in their forums it's said that if you have this problem use the driver on the disc and it will go away. My first problem is I have a pop/click in/out issue which they say can be fixed by downloading the latest driver. I recently bought a M-Audio MobilePre USB input and am have alot of issues for something that seems to get as good of reviews as it has.
