I'm looking at the fast track ultra 8r for recording drums in logic 9 in osx 10.6.6 on my iMac 27". Checking in here to see if anyone here is having success with this.
thanks,

Hi Gabe, Let me start by saying I'm not bashing real drum samples for those wanting to make music who aren't drummers. They've come a long way. I've been recording since the 70's Been there, Seen them, Used them, Heard them. To this day theres no sample or program that can duplicate a live kit. You say nobody can tell the difference. Yes, we can! I can hit my snare a hundred different ways in a hundred places on the skin at a hundred different velocities. Thats just one drum. If you do the math thats a lot of hours sitting in front of the computer tweaking samples. I've done it. After pulling my hair out for years. I spent the $$. Mics, Pre amp, Compressors, Gates, Limiters and so on. What used to take days, I can now do in 3 min 20 sec's. It works for Me. At the risk of sounding like an old ****. The art of making music is a lost art ( kinda ) With todays technology. Anybody can sound great. I have a couple of thousand different sounding guitar plug ins. What I do is plug in my guitar to a Marshall amp and crank it up. Thats my plug in. So theres nothin like the real thing!! But have fun and make it real. Bill

  • 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.

    Hi, I just bought the same piece of equipment. I can get it to input into the computer by changing the system preferances and clicking on the USB choice. Then, I can see the modulation on the computer system. However, I can't get it to interface with Garage Band even though Apple said it was plug and play. Garage Band can't tell it's there. I've emailed M-Audio. ([email protected]) I'll keep you posted.

  • Cannot record any sound with my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra audio interface

    Have been using Logic for about 3 months and was able (primarily via keyboards/midi recording) to create some decent recordings (via the 'hard' way, some books, video training and without bothering a lot of people with many of my questions). Time has come to start with analog audio recording and here my problem starts. Have recently purchased the Fast Track Ultra audio interface from M-Audio.
    Drivers are installed correctly. The device is saying that it functions properly. It gets recognized by my iMAC. It gets recognized in Logic and can enable the device in my audio preferences. I can clearly see in the control panel of my USB audio interface it is creating sound and meters are going up and down.
    I get sound in my head phones (which are connected to the audio interface) but within Logic no sound is coming in while with the build in microphone everything seems to work fine. Have played around all kind of settings in my audio/midi configuration utility but no result.
    Who can help me out ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jozef.

    Have done a test within Garageband and it works correctly overthere

  • Guitar "twang" when recording with macmini and M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

    hey was hoping someone might have similar setup or enough knowledge to help out.
    when i record guitar through my interface i get a clip after each guitar note that sounds very flangey (or like and outter-space type "twang" if that helps describe it) i was hoping it would come out a bit cleaner. and yes i have made sure no effects are turned on. its should be straight up clean guitar, and the notes preceding these clips are in-fact nice and clean. its just the milliseconds after each note that are bothering me.
    my biggest issue is i don't know if its being caused by my interface or a bad setting within the program. I am using the build in preamp and plugging directly into the unit, so i'm going to get a mic and see how it sounds then.
    I did a lot of research on the D/A interfaces out there and i went with the fast track ultra for the price and because the company really hyped these preamps. this is the general description you will find on sites trying to sell the FTU "4 preamps with award-winning M-Audio Octane technology"
    if this noise is cause by a problem with these preamp.... im gona be POBB! i would have saved up and waited to buy and apogee product! anyone out these using an ensemble??? would love to hear some feedback about that unit! thanks in advance for any help!

    hey thanks for the reply! i have since adjusted a few parameters and had good luck going directly into the ftu's 1/4in jack in the front. the more i use the program the more im understanding (you can see i'm relieving my neebie side!) i have not messed much with the ftu's control program itself, is this helpful when trying to get good levels and such?
    how knowledgable are you about microphones? i have a garbage mic from radio shack and when trying to record my acoustic guitar with it i really need to crank up the input on the ftu and be close to the mic to get a signal. this in turn creates that "fuzzy warm" sound that you can hear before the guitar starts playing. it's that analog sound like going through an old tube-amp or something... now while the instrument is playing its not as noticeable obviously and some people even like to add this sort of effect onto digital stuff to give it that warm feeling...
    my question is- what if i want just a nice crisp acoustic recording from my mic into garageband? do i go with something that uses phantompower or what? im just so lost because i don't know much about mics (except they can get REAL expensive... saw one for 7k at guitar center by me!) well sorry for ramblings! thanks in advance for help!

  • 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.

    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 Recording Noise

    When using Electric Guitar settings in GB, I get a lot of background noise - sounds like what happens if you have a grounded cable or problem with your guitar; a noticeable buzz. I varied the input and output settings but no difference. I also get a tape hiss type noise when using Real Instrument Acoustic Guitar settings - sounds like the hiss from a cheap tape recorder. In both cases, the gain signal out of the Fast Track is not too hot.
    I am new to both Macs and recording. I have heard nothing but good about using M-Audio components with Macs so I have to think I am missing something or have a setting not adjusted right.
    Have had some weird stuff going on with the metronome (won't turn off sometimes, and wont turn back on sometimes) and signal clipping too.
    Any comments, advice or suggestions are welcome.

    isteveus - Good advice on trying the headphones to t/s- I'll check it out. However, this has happened with different cords and for 4 different guitars(PRS, SG, Strat w/Barden pups, and a Breedlove acoustic) and different gains on GB and the Ultra.
    Are you using GB 09?
    Thanks.

  • 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!

    I want to know if anyone of you who use a m-audio audio interface has the problem of your computer crashing, then having to restart, when you plug it into the usb drive. It started happening to me when I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and is still doing it on Maverick.

    The issues you are seeing may be connected, so I would try this troubleshooting first.

  • Logic Pro 8 NOT working w/ Fast Track Ultra

    I'm new to producing music and i got the older logic pro 8 from a friend today. The problem started when I tried to play a sound and nothing would come out from my Bx8's. I know its not b/c of the system preferences on my macbook cuz i can still play music on my itunes and sounds will still come out from things on the internet. Also, I went to LogicPro>> Preferences>> Audio and i made sure the device was on M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. When i put the device to Built-in Output i get sound so I know it has something to do with logic. If someone could guide me through this it would be GREAT.

    I think you've turned things around. The topic title should read "Fast Track Utra not working with Logic".
    Since Logic does produce audio when you route to Built In, that means that the FTU is the culprit. Have you installed the right, most recent drivers for it? Not from disk, but DLed from the M-Audio site? And what exact OS X and Logic version do you use?
    regards, Erik.

  • Syncing Fast Track Ultra (Slave) With Logic Express (Master)

    I'm trying to get my fast track to slave with Logic Express, using Logic as the master. It doesn't appear to be sending out any messages. On my fast track I can get the midi 'in' light to blink but not the 'out.' in Logic, the transport bar on the bottom, says 'no midi' for both the in and the out. Does this sound like a Logic setup issue or a fast track ultra setup issue?

    Hi,
    1st: You need to set your drum machine clock to external. That's important if you want to make Logic the master. Be aware any clock signal only is available when Logic is in play mode (naturally, but sometimes i forget even the most logical things).
    2nd: In the Audio-Midi-Setup, the Fast Track should be displayed. Open the MIDI window (Window-> show MIDI window). Click on the "add device" icon. A new device will be added (new external device). Now open the inspector for this new device. You can name it, adjust all these things like MIDI clock send/receive and other gizmos and give it a nice icon. Now you must "connect" this new device with you Fast track by simpy dragging a line from it's outputs to the Fast track input and vice versa. The MIDI setup window will now represent your hardware's cabeling.
    Once you have done this correctly, you should be able to correctly select the Drum machine in Logic.

  • Hice la actualización del sistema operativo en mi Mac mini Late 2012 a OS X 10.8.5 y ahora no me funciona la Fast Track Ultra ni Pro Tools 9HD. Necesito reinstalar el sistema operativo para poder trabajar.

    Hice la actualización del sistema operativo y de iTunes en mi Mac mini Late 2012 a OS X 10.8.5 y ahora no me funciona la Fast Track Ultra ni Pro Tools 9HD. Necesito reinstalar el sistema operativo OS X 10.8.3 para poder trabajar. CÓMO LO PUEDO BAJAR?
    GRACIAS.

    Te cuento yo tambien he tenido muy mala experiencia con fast track en lion y mountain lion  el problema que describes lo solucione con el driver 1.9.2 pero en protools o logic no puedo usar las salidas 3 y 4 por que suena como entrecortado bien sea el daw q este utilizando o el itunes bien eso lo he  sabido llevar pero lo mas fatal es que cuando trabajo en protools  suele aparecer el kernel panic y debo reiniciar  he investigado y por informe de error siempre suele ser la fast track pro a pesar de que compre su adaptador de corriente pensando que era por la escasa alimentacion usb que tiene ( falencia fatal que no tienen otras interfase de m audio como las fast track c 400 o 600  en avis nunca dan respuesta y en m audio pues que en paz descanse por que ya murio! desde q avid se apodero del basto negocio la unica opcion es  psarse a mbox o a interfases hd!

  • 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!

  • 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......
