M-Audio uses public and private Beta as part of the product development process.

Public Beta
Public Beta is the development stage prior to the full release of a product. It is open to all members of the M-Audio Community Forum. You are not required to submit an application to participate in public Beta. The only requirement is that you post your experience in the public Beta section of the forum. Please Note: Technical Support for public Beta is performed only in the forums. Please do not contact M-Audio's support staff concerning public Beta issues.

Private Beta
Private Beta is the development stage prior to public Beta. M-Audio Software Quality Assurance is currently accepting applications for plug-in, application, DJ related and driver development beta testing. The nature of testing in private Beta is much more serious. Not all applicants will be given access to the forums as we have received an enormous amount of interest in our private Beta program.

To begin the qualification process, please fill out the studio/system breakdown below including the area of testing you're most interested in and a short description of why you would be a strong private Beta testing candidate.

In the event your application is accepted you will be sent a quiz to determine your skill level. Elite performers will then be asked to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Upon returning a signed NDA (and if the project you've requested in not at capacity) you will be issued a username and password to the private Beta forum within 7 business days. We normally cap each project at 50 participants.

Any individual or group of individuals who work for an audio interface and/or audio software vendor or manufacturer other than Avid are immediately disqualified from participating in the private Beta program.

Please complete the Avid | M-Audio General Interest Survey with as much detail as possible. The more information you provide, the greater the chance you will be accepted into the private Beta program.
