"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.

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.

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 woes/m audio fast track usb+logic 9

I'm new to Logic (and recording in general) and I just hooked up an M-Audio Fast Track USB and a condener mic to my 13" MBP, and I'm getting a ton of hiss, low volume, and playback on only one side of my headphones. I've tried all sorts of combinations of input types (mono/stereo) and output types (mono/stereo 1-2) and still have the same problems. I think it's only on one side of my headphones because Mics record in mono if I'm not mistaken, and I have the same problem when I plug my guitar into the guitar input instead of using the mic. is there any way to split it or pan it? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

and when I select stereo output it automatically switches to output 1-2. Is that normal? If not, is there a way around that?
thank you!
Why would you want a way around it, there has to be two outputs for stereo, 1=left, 2=right.
Set the mono track's pan control to the middle position.
You're using headphones or speakers plugged into the M-Audio?
Make sure Preferences/Audio "Universal Track Mode" IS selected.
You know, the manual could help you clear up a lot of the basic operation problems you're having.
There's no way asking 1001 questions on here or any other board is going to clear all of this up. My suggestion is to start reading now, whether it be the manuals or books on DAW recording. You have to get an understanding of the basics or you will continuously butt your head against the wall. Once the basics are cleared up it's much easier to figure out problems. The manuals are 10 times better than when I learned the program and are a worthwhile read.

Boost fast track in logic express, help please?!

hi there,
i'm new to Logic and this forum; I have a problem enhancing volume into logic; I can hear/manipulate my guitar sound through my fast track USB but the peak level in the track seems very low... my imported playback audio sounds good and so are the levels of those tracks whereas my recorded guitars are very low! I'm plugged through the instrument jack and the sound level in the mac preferences is correct, how's that I can record at a proper volume?
maybe it's a common ploblem but here I'm stuck...

Hi,
This is obvious, but make sure your Input Level Switch is set to the GUITAR position.
Assuming you have it that way, another option is to get a direct box (or at least a line-matching transformer). Plug your guitar into that, come out of it w/ an XLR cable, plug that into the mic input. That will give you the ability to use the Gain control on the Fast Track to boost your level.
If that's not enough, you can insert a Gain plug-in into an Input Track.

Using fast track with GB

I seem to only be able to record and hear one channel when using fast frack with a mic. I can set for steiro or mono and tri to pan with no change.

The Fast Track has two channels one is XLR (mic) othe is 1/4" (instrument, mic). If you are only using one mic then that is mono and you would use a mono track in garageband assigned to the corresponding channel. Mono will play to both output channels and you can pan.
If you have a guitar and mic you would need to have two tracks and assign tracks to their own input channel.

I have done a few restarts but it doesn't make any difference, App Store still comes up in German. Please help.

Hi jcarvajal - Thank you for your help. Before I read your reply, I turned my Ipad off and left it off for a good 5 minutes or even longer. After starting it up again the App Store was in English. I have turned off again as I won't be needing it until this evening, so will see if it is still ok. If not I will do what you sugested.

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!

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...

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!

When bouncing with logic, the sound gets really bad

Hi,
when I bounce a track with Logic 9, the sound turns real bad while when I'm recording it it sounds perfect

Perfect sound goes bad quickly.
Turn off the Normalize feature in the Bounce dialog.

My iPod touch gets wi-fi signal, but doesn't work..?

i've had my ipod touch for about a year and i use my friends wi-fi all the time at her house. she has a linksys router and cable internet. i recently got at&t internet, which is dsl. the internet modem also works as a router, with wi-fi. i can connect to the wi-fi perfectly. with a strong signal, but when i go to safari, or itunes, or anything. it says "unable to connect to the server" WHY!?
): help me please?

ok so i have a cable modem type of internet provider; we use a dlink router because we have 3 common laptops. Neither my personal laptop with windows xp pro conects to the network well it comes out as limited connection and on my itouch the network appears, it has the checkmark, it has an ip address and subnetmask or whatever you call it. the connected symbol appears on the top bar next to IPOD. and yet I cant connect to anything it says in safari or facebok that it can't open or continue because im not connected to the internet. and it won´t connect to any wifi network anymore. so i've reset the network settings, i've reset all settings to see if it works again but nothing. It used to work well but don't know if some app or content or the itunes of the computer is making it unavailable to connect to the internet.

Using Outboard Gear With M-Audio Fast Track Pro And Logic Express

My Fast Track Pro has 2 insert jacks on the back where you can run a send and return to use outboard gear. The cable you use has 2 female 1/4" jacks (one is send and the other is return) that go to a 1/4" male jack that you plug into the back of the interface.
My question is this:
How can I get Logic Express to send a track through the outboard gear connected to my interface? On the track's output settings in Logic there are "Output 1+2", which run to my monitors I think, and "Output 3+4", which don't have anything plugged into them. There don't appear to be any other options for sending the track. How can I get Logic to recognize the Inserts jack on the Fast Track Pro? I'm running all the latest drivers if that means anything. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for helping me on this. I'm still a bit confused on how to send the channel through the insert. The jacks on the back of my interface are "TRS Output 1+2" (my monitors are plugged into these outputs), a RCA "Output 1,2,3, and 4", an S/PDIF out and in, and then 2 TRS inserts jacks, marked 1 and 2. Each jack does it's own separate send and return which is why I had to buy the cable with the 2 female jacks on it.
I've been able to use the I/O plugin and get the track to accept a signal from the insert on input 1 (I have a looping pedal running in the send chain and was able to get it to play a loop over top of the audio already recorded on the channel), but am unable to send the recorded track through the fx send. What would I need to set the output to to be able to do this? Thanks for your time.
