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.

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???

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

Adobe Audition with M-Audio Fast Track Pro mic input

I must be missing a setting somewhere. I have two mics going into the M-Audio Fast Track Pro (XLR inputs). Mic 1 works fine but no input from Mic 2 although I have audio coming through my headsets when speaking into Mic 2 - it just doesn't register in Adobe Audition. I have switched mics and cables and all are fine. The issue is with Mic 2.
Again, Mic 1 is working fine and Mic 2 is picking up audio and feeding to my headphones but not to Adobe Audition. I have all the latest drivers installed.
I am on a Win7 (32bit) system. Microphones are Shure PG-42's (phantom powered condenser microphones).
I contacted M-Audio support and phone-verified that all Fast Track Pro settings were proper. Seems to be a setting or driver issue in Audition. I've spent hours trouble-shooting to no avail. In the meantime, I'm using a Y-splitter running both mics into Mic Input 1 on the Fast Track Pro which works fine but I really need seperate control over each microphone. I have interviews coming up soon and would like to find a resolution quickly. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Archie! Good stuff! I'm almost there...
I've got my Adobe Audition set up with the settings you gave me - everything is armed and good-to-go... but then...
When I hit record Tracks one and two look like they're recording but there is no level (no audio) going into the tracks.
If I go back to the Edit view and try to record the entire fills with green as if I'm filling it 100% with sound. This has never happened before.
I suspect I've got something hosed-up in my "Audio Hardware Setup" under the Edit section.
My selections for Audio Driver Setup are:
1) M-Audio USB ASIO
2) ASIOforALLv2
3) Audition 3.0 Windows Sound
If you could give me some direction as to the settings in "Audio Harware Setup" I feel I've almost got it.
Thanks!

FCE 4 with M-Audio Fast Track Pro

I have an M-Audio Fast Track Pro with a condenser mike using phantom power, connected via USB.
I have used that at length for voiceovers on iMovie '08 without any issues.
Now I'm making the transition to FCE 4, and when I select "Voiceovers" and then change the microphone from "Inbuilt" to "M-Audio Fast Track Pro", I get an immediate Kernel Panic.
Latest drivers for M-Audio FTP are installed (and they specify 10.5.2 compatibility.
Using 10.5.2 with all latest software updates on a 2.8Ghz 24" iMac.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Thanks Jonathan, yeah, me too (just starting out).
I must admit, I haven't investigated Soundtrack - though I wonder if the issue of Kernel Panic would be any different - I can try, at least. So, thanks for the suggestion - but I guess that the "Voiceover" facility in FCE is there for a reason.
By the way - my initial info was in error - the M-Audio driver specifies 10.5.1 not 10.5.2. All you OSX experts - would such an OS upgrade be likely to make a difference to a driver like that - or is that an impossible question?
Thanks again,
Greg

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......

Can't adjust recording level with M-Audio Fast Track Pro

I downloaded the appropriate driver for my M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface & everything looks fine... BUT I can't adjust the Recording level at all. I am not sure if this is an issue with the M-audio device, or garage band??? It is driving me crazy, since I just want to make some music and can't even hear what is being recorded. ???

Thanks, .... Yes to all of the above. I am wracking my brain & will call M-Audio tomorrow. Everything looks perfect on the interface & on garage band - but, even though the Fast track Pro shows up in my sound preferences & I can select it as the input & output source, etc., when I go to its window, even hooked up, it says no "device is not connected." Then it details that there are "no input controls" under sound in system preferences. I have two working usb cords & it does the same on either. I think this is the problem & have no idea how to fix it. I just want to plug it all in and record & have lost So much time . Hmmmmm???

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 USB detection in GB 2?

Hi Gang,
My M-Audio Fast Track USB midi device worked just great in GB1. Now I'm trying to use it with GB 2 and having a bear of a time. GB will give me an alert when I plug or unplug it from a USB port, but in the preferences I still show no MIDI devices detected.
I've downloaded the most recent M-Audio driver and still no luck. Any suggestsion? BTW: here are the specs . . .
GB 2.0 (v28)
OS X 4.3
M-Audio Fast Track guitar-mic device making a USB connection

I contacted Logic Pro X support and they said that they are working on an update. They were very helpful, so no worries guys. They know that there is an issue and they are working on it A.S.A.P. They told me if I needed to continue production to use time machine and go back before the update and restore Logic Pro X (before 10.0.5).
They understand, so give them a break... They are working as fast and hard as they can. I talked with one of the programmers directily. They are probably not getting any sleep over this.

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

Hi,
new Logix Pro X looks very interesting - does anyone know if M-Audio Fast Track Pro is compatible with it (couldn't find any topics so far..).
Thanks for your help!

Back to basics..
I googled Fast Track Pro compatibility with OS X 10.8.x and found several incompatibility issues and no experiences in version 10.8.4 so far.
So there is a risk that when ugprading Lion to Mountain Lion 10.8.4, Fast Track Pro wouldn't work any longer.
And purchasing LPX for 180e and a new MOTU audio interface for 230e over doubles the initial price of LPX alone..not so attractive deal anymore..
Do you know if there are any good ways to get back to Lion after installing ML if there seems to be problems with Fast Track Pro? I'm using MacBook Pro with preinstalled Lion. I googled too many articles on this and I'm still confused if going back to Lion is possible or not.
Thanks again!

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...

Maverick not compatible with M-AUDIO PROFIRE 2626 and M-AUDIO Fast Track?

M-AUDIO software for my PROFIRE 2626 and my M-AUDIO FAST TRACK audio interface devices do not work with Maverick???? ANY FIXES COMING? APPLE AWARE!!??
These devices have been bought by the company AVID from M-AUDIO and they have no software updates for Maverick on the 2626 and a software update for MAVERICK that causes play back problems on INTEL 2 DUO imacs such as my 2010.
As documented on their site:
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/troubleshooting/No-audio-from-USB-Interface-w ith-Mac-OS-X-Mavericks
And on several forums and community boards regarding the problem:
http://community.m-audio.com/m-audio/topics/driver_upgrade_for_profire_2626_usin g_mac_os_x_mavericks
Apple should be aware that these vendors
M-AUDIO and AVID are labeling and claiming compatibility with MAC OS and Apple computers and then leaving them useless with no software driver upgrades or faulty ones. This problem is causing many many music makers and Apple users unrepairable problems and financial loss.
At this point I am prepared to sell my Apple computers, and their falsely advertised compatible devices and go to Windows. This is a travesty and completely not acceptable. If I would have known of these issues with Maverick and M-AUDIO/AVID products and updates, and with Apples LOGIC 9.0 I would have never upgraded to Maverick and saved my devices and software.
I think is a shame that Apple does not work with these companies to insure that users of a 5 year old machine and 3 year old devices, receive adequate support through updated drivers and compatibility to MAC OS compatible products.
MAVERICK OS X has caused my music, which is my life blood, on my imac to come to a halt until I can either sell my computer and my interfaces or pay for new ones and a new LOGIX X. Unreal and not in the spirit of Apple products of the past.
M-Audio, AVID, and Apple should be ashamed of this situation and they should take care of the people who helped Steve Jobs build the company: Artists and Musicians mainly. This complete "buggy" travesty with Maverick is way more serious then I feel Apple is taking it.
I will do my best here in New York City to tell every musician and artist I know of the lack of care Apple and these two other supposedly friendly musician companies are showing in regard to their operating system upgrades and products. It is beyond a nightmare.
ANY SOLUTION????

Apple has nothing to do with it. Apple has no access to M-Audio's computers or the code for M-Audio's drivers. M-Audio let their customers down and stopped supporting their devices.

Mac mini does not recognize M-Audio Fast Track Pro device.

Please help me.

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 .

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 ?
