anyone familiar with this product got any tips? after spending £300 on logic a couldn't stretch to an apogee duet quite yet .
Many thanks

In Logics audio preferences, do you have the Fast Track selected as the audio driver?

Audio INTERFACE that works with Garage Band??

Any suggestions for a good inexpensive audio interface? Fast Track is awful.... Something about 250 or under?
Want to plug guitar into device, device into MAC - and lay down tracks.

Do the second two in the top row work with Garage Band
there isn't such a thing as "working with GB", if it works on a mac it will work with GB
and ProTools?
i know very little about protools, though they tend to be more proprietary
can we plug them in (to guitar and MAC) and roll?
yes
Or is a mic needed??
"needed", no. there are both 1/4" as well as XLR jacks, as you can see in the pics. you can use either.

M-Audio Fast Track and Garage Band

Grettings, friends.
Does M-Audio Fast Track work well with Garage Band? I understand there may be a spread of opinions on this, but any feedback would be appreciated, particualry from those who have experience with both.
And for those who have had problems with Fast Track, can you recommend anything better in roughly the same price range?
Thanks in advance,
DPL

Hi David,
The Fastrack works fine.
More money buys better converters, preamps, etc.
There's a certain class of "competent" interfaces around the same price as the Fastrack that all offer good bang for the buck, OK audio and "work well."
Popular USB interfaces:

I've had decent results with M-Audio. Not in the same league as higher end stuff from RME or Apogee, but I use both, depending on the circumstances.

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...

My M-Audio Fast Track stops working when switching instruments/tasks in Garageband.

I bought an M-Audio Fast Track along with a few imacs for my students to use in my classroom. I have it installed and it works sometimes. I seem to have to have a fresh restart of osx and garageband, then it picks up the guitar and its usable with all the effects and cool stuff in garageband. If I switch something, like add another instrument guitar track, or switch to another task like browse for a bit then come back it stops working. I cannot get it to work again without restarting osx. It does not pickup the fast track if I restart garage band or replug in the usb.
I bought this through apple, so I figured it was supported and would work great for my stuents. I have found support has changed for this device.
Any tips before I look into returning it?

I think that definitely helped. When I switch sound devices I can get both the midi and m-audio to record at the same time without rebooting.
If your familiar with the m-audio box I still cannot get sound out of the headphone jack part of the box. Ive chosen that as the output in both audio settings in osx and the output in garageband. I can hit the monitor button on the box and hear a clean guitar, but no output as far as garageband effects go.

M-audio fast track pro doesn't work anymore

Today I plugged in my M-Audio Fast Track Pro which worked fine few weeks before, but now it doesn't work anymore. It shows up everywhere fine but I can't play any music. The videos on Youtube can't be played at all when I have selected this soundcard as output. Same every other application like iTunes. I have reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my mac but nothing helped so far. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

I had the same problem (Fast Track Pro + Mavericks 10.9.2 > no output sound).
After trying several combinations, I found out an non logical solution, but it did work
What I did:
1) Download the most recent driver update 1.9.4 (http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Pro-Drivers)
2) Uninstall Fast Track Pro Drive and restart computer
3) After restar, do NOT install again. Just go to the System Preferences/Sound and set Fast Track as your in/output port
Hope it helps!

I can't get background audio to work in garage band 1.3 ios6.1 .also no options in settings to turn it on?

I can't get background audio to work in garage band 1.3 iOS 6.1 also no option in settings to turn on or off?

I had the same problem, try this:
In your home directory, go to Library/Caches/
(make sure you are in the library in your home directory, not the library at the root level of the hard disk).
and remove this file: com.apple.audiounits.cache
You can drag it to your desktop if you like or throw it away.
Then relaunch garage band, it will rescan all audio units.
If you have the Kontakt audio unit installed in YourHardDiskName/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components it should recognize it and include it in your list. You can toss that cache file any time you want Garage Band to rescan your audio units.
I had a problem with Kontakt on an upgrade that broke it, GarageBand saw it and put Kontakt on its list of broken Audio Units, it would never load it after that... after a new rescan, it was fine.
Good luck

(M-audio) Fast Track Pro - don't work anymore with 4.09

Hello,
I use a M-Audio Fast Track Pro as audio interface, and, until yesterday it was working perfect.
When I installed the Maverick 4.09, my audio interface just stop working!!
Do you know what could be happening, and how can I solve this?
Thanks a lot!
Fernando.

Hi, I want to know if Logic Pro X running on Mavericks works ok with M-Audio Fast Track before buying it.

Hi,
Yes the Scarlett 2i2 will work with Logic Pro or Reason, make sure you download the latest version of our driver (1.5 dmg for MAC) from focusrite.com downloads page.
Hope this information helps.
Best regards.

Does Logic Express work with M-Audio Fast Track USB

Hi all, just wondering if logic express 8 works with the m-audio Fast Track USB - http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackUSB.html ?

This should probably go in the Logic Express 8 forum. Regardless, I see no reason why it wouldn't be perfectly functional using LE8. Is there a reason why you are opting for a USB device? Does your Mac not have a firewire port?

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!

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???

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.
