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.

OR
use the FastTrack's audio outputs to drive your monitoring, NOT your built-in audio.

M-Audio is a bit slow getting drivers out but they eventually get it right so take heart... even companies like Focusrite don't have 100% compatible drivers for some of their hardware.
Not sure if -all- of the recent USB changes were released on time. I'm regularly in touch with a couple of plugin developers and both say Apple is notorious for last minute changes. Don't know if it's true or not.

No Audio when recording through M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB interface

Hi,
I am trying to record my drums using Logic Pro and by obtaining the audio through 4 microphones connected to an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. Even though the interface is on, installed, registered, and configured in Logic's audio preferences, there is no sound whatsoever. The recording shows that it definitely picked up audio and that the sound levels were moving, but there is no playback. Any advice??
Thanks.

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.

No signal with M-AUDIO Fast Track

Hello,
I just got the Logic Pro 8 and I have only used garageband.......I used to be fine with M-AUDIO Fast Track......but now in the logic studio I'm not getting a signal......I went to preference click on fast track as the input source but not even getting the smallest signal........I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.....does fast track even work with logic pro?.....
Thanks

I have a FastTrack, and in my experience, it has many issues. The biggest is that it craps out on a regular basis, say every couple hours, or if sleep mode occurs, etc. Then, in order to 'wake it up' again, it requires cycling the power, which in many cases will cause the entire system to hang (no mouse movement, nothing) for about 2-4 minutes! I have the latest drivers for it, and my system is clean. This is simply bad driver code on M-Audio's part I would recommend anyone who is thinking of buying this unit, look elsewhere. Go with MOTU or etc.
I know that doesn't help much, but it needs to be said...

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 avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together

I Wanted to use avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together so that I can get 4 inputs
i I tried to select it, but could enable any one only. How can I use them together??

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.

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???

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?

Recording with M-Audio Fast Track USB Audio Interface

New Mac owner and am completely lost. I am wanting to record guitar and vocal tracks into GB and when I plugged in the M-Audio I could see a wave file when after I hit the record button but I couldn't hear anything. I selected it as the default for input and output and turned the monitor on...but am getting zero sound. HELP!

I actually just picked one up and this is what the process is...
I must reiterate the first line... Do not install any of the packaged software as it does not help, or do anything beneficial... just use Garageband.
This is to record a plug in guitar.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LOAD ANY DISCS THAT COME WITH THE DEVICE
1. Connect M-Audio Fast Track USB to appropriate USB port on computer.
ex. MacBook Pro - use forward port (port furthest away from display)
Also, see note 2 for M-Audio knowledge base, support etc...
2. Open System Preferences and:
-Select M-Audio Fast Track USB icon
-Select "About" button and note Audio Firmware version
-Select "Updates" to open M-Audio web site
-Select: USB Audio Series<Fast Track USB< MAC OS 10.5.7 (or appropriate operating system)
-Note version number of latest drive and download if
necessary to update your M-Audio
- Select "Sound" in Hardware row of System Preferences
-Select "Input" button and select M-Audio Fast Track USB
- No need to change "Output" regardless of how you want to listen to playback!
3. Connect guitar to M-Audio box (a pre-amp will boost output, but is not necessary)
- Make sure button on rear of M-Audio box is selected properly for guitar
4. Open Garage Band (Do Not open Garage Band prior to connecting M-Audio)
- Select New Project - Electric Guitar
5. Open Garage Band Preferences
- Select "Audio/MIDI" button
-Audio Output select:
- "Built-in Output" to use computer's speaker or headphones/speakers connected directly to computer OR
- "M-Audio Fast Track USB" to listen to headphones/speakers
connected directly to M-Audio box (use Mix knob and Output knob on front of M-Audio box to control ouput if choosing this set-up)
-Audio Input select:
-"M-Audio Fast track USB"
6. Choose an Amp model in Garage Band
- Double-click picture of amp (this displays rear picture of amp and access to settings)
-Select: Input Source : Mono2(M-Audio Fast Track USB) NOT MONO 1!
of if using Mic and guitar : Stereo2 (M-Audio Fast Track USB)
7. Record
This saved me from throwing the thing out the window... It works well now!

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 ?

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.

Does anyone have any information on when the m audio fast track will support mountain lion?

i have just got the latest 13" macbook pro and it came with mountain lion pre installed, in janurary i bought a brand new m-audio fast track audio interface as i saw it was available in the apple store and still is. however apple must be unaware they are selling a product that is not compatable with any of the computers available in the store as the drivers for the interface have not been released( there is one but it doesn't work and isn't the offical driver). m-audio were sold by avid earlier this year and the fast track i have is seeminly still avids problem despite m-audio being sold(so m-audio told me) and avid do not respond to any emails or tweets i have sent them. i tried to sort the issue out with apple customer care but they could provide no answers for me. i am now left with a usless audio interface, and appartantly(according to who i talked to on the phone) lion can't be installed on this model as it won't function correctly, not that i want to have to downgrade my operating system just for the use of an audio interface. so does anyone know whats going on?

the driver was released on november 30th, thank god http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/download/Fast-Track-Drivers

Is Logic Pro X compatible with M Audio Fast Track Ultra ?

I'm running Logic 8 Pro with M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.
I'd like to upgrade to Logic Pro X.
Will these components be compatible?

If it has a Mountain Lion compatible driver then it should work. (Its not about LPX compatibility.. its about OS X compatibility that matters in almost every case)
See here for the drivers...
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Ultra-Drivers
V2.2.2 is 10.8 compatible however there are several threads in their forums that indicate issues with 10.8.3 and higher...
Here is an example..
http://community.m-audio.com/m-audio/topics/driver_for_m_audio_fast_track_ultra_ mac_mountain_lion_10_8_3
Given that your interface is no longer a supported item.. and Avid have taken over M-Audio.. it might be that there will be no further updates leaving you unfortunately, with an out of date and no longer supported piece of hardware... which frankly is typical of M-Audio...
As a quick aside... This is why I stick with Motu equipment.. and have done so for many, many years now. Their support both for new and legacy devices is and has always been.. excellent.. and my original Ultralite Mk1 which is at least 7 years old now I believe, is still fully supported in the latest OS X version. using the latest Motu Drivers..
Anyhow.. Check with M-Audio/Avid to find out if this has been resolved......

M-audio fast track issue

I have just bought a m-audio fast track recording software for garageband to record guitar. It works when I select 'real intrsument', however, it doesn't pick up any sound when I select 'electric guitar'. has anyone else had this problems while using 'm-audio'? what is the best way to deal with this?

Real Instrument and Electric Guitar are the same the difference is the effects presets. There is no reason it could work with one and dot the other.
Make sure you selected the interface in garageband preferences and have the correct input channel selected in the track info > input source.
