Stereo problem using m audio fast track

I have an m audio fast track that I use in garage band all the time. I'm having trouble right now because by default it sets each input to left the left or right in the mix. In garage band I can set this to mono and then I have control over panning and such. In imovie I can't figure out how to make it so my mic isn't just in my left ear. Has anyone else tried using this? Any help would be great.

Did you ever get this to work? I just today bought a Fast Track Pro. I have it hooked to my MBP via USB. I can see in control Panel two inputs:
M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: Line Input
M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: S/PDIF
Problem is, there is no sound registering on the Input Level on either choose.
I have the Power On and have tried both Input 1 & 2, bith in stereo and mono mode.
(Just to be clear, I connect the electric guitar directly to the Fast track pro, correct?)
I have read the owners manual but it is worthless. I thought this would be easy to set up.
Also note that GarageBand preferences the Audio Output and Input are selected to Fast Track Pro.
What am I doing wrong?

  • Problems using M Audio Fast Track with Garageband

    According to the blurb, the M Audio Fast Track (USB) 'is class compliant in Mac OSX offering true plug-and-play operation. Just plug in, and you're ready to start recording'. This is why I bought it, but I am experiencing no end of problems actually getting it to register with Garageband '08.
    The problems are (a) I cannot hear any sound coming 'through' the Fast Track and Garageband (b) I can hear the guitar if I plug the headphones into the Fast Track, but nothing is recorded in Garageband (c) my mic, which is plugged into the line socket intended for guitars because I don't have the larger connection, reports no sound at all.
    Any ideas, or tips to how others have managed to set up this 'plug-and-play' device would be greatly welcomed.

  • Problems with M-Audio Fast Track

    I have logic express and recently purchased a m-audio fast track unit. I have been having problems setting it up. The fast track has the guitar come out of input 2 and the mic come out of input 1. If I choose to record in stereo logic chooses input 1+2 and therefore I only have a signal in half the inputs. For example if I try to record my guitar and select stereo I will only have signal on input 2 and input 1 will be blank. Can anyone help?
    Does anyone know of an "idiots" guide to using the fast track with logic?

    I have been having a similar problem -ish. I have a G4 12 inch powerbook and an M-audio fast track pro.
    I want to record two stereo tracks simultaneously through two separate mics - 1 for vocal and 1 for acoustic guitar - but I only seem to have the option of outputs 1-2.
    It doesn't seem to allow me to record both in stereo simultaneously nor will it allow me to assign Input 1 to Outputs 1-2 and Input 2 to Outputs 3-4. If I do that they will not record at the same time. AAAAAgh
    Ideally I want to record (at the same time) 2 x stereo audio tracks which can each be heard equally on the Left and Right, so that I can then balance/pan so that they are not both in the foreground of the final mix, but given some space to breathe.
    Am I going to have to start copying mono regions and panning them to create stereo sound and all that malarky .... I hope not, any help would be most appreciated!

  • Problems with M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface & FCP\Logic

    Hi gang,
    I'm using a small M-Audio (Fast Track Pro) external interface to pump sound from the Mac to my speakers (and to input live sound).
    I use it a lot with Logic Audio. No problems.
    With FCP it does odd things on occasion. It suddenly starts to feedback, creating a horrendous din. Then I have to shut down FCP, replug the USB connect, even restart the computer to get it working normally again. And sometimes it just goes dead ... NO sound to the speakers.
    Anybody come across this kind of thing? Any suggestions?
    Ben

    I'm seeing similar things in Logic Express 8.0.1. I didn't experienced this with Logic Express 8.0, though I only used it a handful of times before getting the update.
    Using the Fast Track Pro as an output device seems to work fine, but when I create an audio track and monitor my bass the audio tends to drop out after between 5 to 30 seconds; using inserts on the track seems to make it fail faster. Logic looks like its still monitoring, going by the monitor level, for a little longer, then it gets "stuck". If I record the audio track while its stuck and then play back through built-in audio its a clip of the bass, about a half a second or so long, repeating over and over again making it seem like the Fast Track Pro is, itself, stuck.
    While it's doing all this Logic and the whole OS have a tendency to lock up for up to probably half a minute, sometimes longer.

  • Can't get sound when using M-Audio Fast Track

    I'm using Logic Express 8 and just purchased the M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface so I can plug in my guitar and mic to Logic. I downloaded the driver, the device shows up in Logic, I can even record with it, but I can't hear anything on playback! Not only can't I hear the Fast Track, but I can't hear any of my other (software) tracks either. I can't input monitor at all. But, as soon as I unplug the device, suddenly all my tracks are audible again (including recordings that I make through the device). What's going on? I need to be able to hear what I'm doing!

    Go in to Audio midi setup and make sure the default input and output are the M-audio devise ... if you have not done so already .

  • Using M-Audio Fast Track C400 Audio Interface for FaceTime but only input 1 audio is coming through?...

    I'm trying to use my M-Audio interface for FaceTime/U Stream for music purposes. I'm a professional recording artist and I'd like to do some "live stream" concerts for fans from home. I have my keyboard in input 1 and my microphone in input 2. Both signals come through just fine when I'm using Garageband or Logic, but for some reason when I select the interface as the "microphone" option when streaming, only audio from input one is heard from my viewers. I've also switched the keyboard and mic to rule out the mic being the problem, but then the mic audio comes through and not the keyboard...I'm wondering if I'm missing some minute setting somewhere?...I don't understand why it's only for video chat applications that it's only receives one channel of audio...Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Are you using Logic 8 or 9?
    What are you trying to hear Logic's output through?
    If you're expecting audio output through built-in audio, and you're using Logic 9, make sure your Fast Track is set as the input device, and built-in audio is set for the output device (both in Logic's audio preferences)
    However, if you're using Logic 8 or 7, you need to create an aggregate device if you're using built-in output.
    Details here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8813763&#8813763
    OR
    use the FastTrack's audio outputs to drive your monitoring, NOT your built-in audio.

  • M-Audio Fast Track Ultra - not getting any input!

    I have been using M-Audio Fast Track Ultra to do some basic recording in GarageBand '09. I've never had a problem, but today i cannot get an audio signal to input from a mic or instrument. It seems that GarageBand is automatically setting the track recording level to zero and is greying it out. i can no longer control it. The audio OUTPUT works fine and i can use the fast track to monitor, but there is not input. btw, i tried using the built in audio on the MacBook and it works fine. is this a setting issue with Fast Track somehow? can anyone help trouble shoot this issue for me? Thanks!

  • M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r HELP!!

    Hello
    I am in desperate need of assistance.... I have been using M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r for some months and it has worked perfectly... only today (just when I needed it most) it stopped working when I plugged it in as usual.
    It makes a popping sound and the green and red LEDs along the front panel flash respectively and it will not be found by Logic 9... or anything else for that matter.
    I am running MAC OSX 10.6.6 on a Macbook pro
    2.53 GHz Intel Core Duo
    4GB
    I remember this did actually happen once before but I simply put the original CD in and re loaded the driver from there and it seemed to work... only, that CD fell foul to a toddler and is basically knackered...
    The latest drivers don't seem to be working and I have done everything I can find on here to try and solve it including...
    - Downloading lastest drivers
    - Different leads and ports
    - Downloading latest update combos for snow leopard from apple site, and repairing disc permission in utilities
    - Rebooting holding cmd-alt-P-R which apparently has something to do with resetting RAM
    I am not much of a techie... I just like things to work!
    Any help gratefully received... I can't afford a new interface and I have lots of work to do
    Many thanks
    T

    HI ! I JUST HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM ! I DONT KNOW IF M-AUDIO HAS TO CREATE THE NEW DRIVERS TO WORK WITH OSX 10.6.6 OR IS SOMETHING GOING ON IN OUR COMPUTERS.
    I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP US AT THIS, I REALLY NEED TO GET IT WORK AGAIN ..... ILL APRECIATE ANY HELP ... THANX A LOT !!

  • "m-audio fast track"  with logic 9- signal but no live audio?

    Im using m-audio fast track, guitar interface with logic 9.  I get a signal and can record but don't hear anything until i record something, unplug the usb & play back the recording?? (os x 10.7.4 & elect guitar)- any idea's would be appreciated thanks
    & merry x-mas!

    I'd suggest reading this first to make sure you understand the hardware setup.
    This is from the Logic Manual, a great place to start.
    http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/9.1.6/en/logicpro/usermanual/#chapter=2%26sec tion=0
    Read:  "Configuring Your Audio Hardware"
    Also... where are you expecting the sound to come out of?
    Do you have headphones and/or speakers plugged into your audio interface?
    Read the chapter I posted, you need to know what's going on with the setup.

  • I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

    I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

  • M Audio Fast Track not recording in stereo

    I purchased an M Audio Fast Track to use with Garageband.  I'm running OS 10.7.2 Lion.  The M Audio website says its compatible with Lion.  Both my vocals and guitar, bass only record in mono even though I've got the audio input set to stereo.  I set the input in GB Preferences for the M Audio DAW.  The Garageband software instruments record in stereo but they're not going through the DAW.  Am I doing something wrong?  BTW, I'm a beginner so...and help will be appreciated.

    You can use only one device at a time I Logic. However, in the Audio MIDI Setup utility (Applications>Utilities) you can create an aggregate device, which effectively combines multiple devices into one "virtual" device, which you can then choose in Logics' coreaudio device setup.

  • M-Audio Fast Track and Drivers used

    Hi !
    I recently buyed a sound card USB M-Audio Fast Track (the last one) and plugged it in my macbook late 2009 running OSX Mountain Lion.
    Everything seems to be ok (sound works fine, but i prefer sound from my embedded sound card from the macbook, it doesn't clip like the fast track that i find a bit sensible) but i've installed "drivers" that was on the CD with the package of the sound card.
    So my question is: what is this F****** driver ? what is installed on my mac ?  i don't want ASIO or other driver , i just want my coreAudio and i can't see what was installed except a button in system pref that allow me to select 13 or 24 bit.
    Do you think installer has installed ASIO drivers on my mac ? or just the control pannel for the bit level ?
    i should never put this CD in my mac ... can you help me ?

    At first thanks a lot for your answer and sorry for the first line of my post (buyed instead of bought)
    When I say that sound is clipping it's beacause of my beat in garageband that is too strong, but with the headphone out i don't hear clips, i just see them in the track while with the fast track i hear them ...
    I'm now reassured if you can tell me that the software installation in the CD doesn't touch my OSX drivers even if M-audio name this "Drivers install" on their site.
    So, if i understand it's just the sys-pref button to switch 16-24 bits that is added ? nothing else.
    How can i see if other drivers have been installed ?

  • M-Audio Fast Track/Audio Hijack Skype Recording Pr...

    Hey folks!
    Want to throw my IMAC out the window right now so I figured it was time to ask for help. 
    I'm using an M-Audio Fast Track. I use it to record my regular Podcasts through Garageband and have zero problems. 
    However, when I try to record interviews via Skype using tools like Call Recorder/Audio Hijack etc... both the recordings and the person on the other end only hear me on one side of the headphone/speakers. In other words not in stereo. Again, I get stereo just fine when using Garageband but for interview, not so much. 
    What am I missing? 
    I've configured Mac settings to include Fast Track as well as Skype preferecnes. 
    Thoughts? 
    Thanks,
    Gary
