M-Audio FastTrack USB recording isn't working?

M-Audio FastTrack USB recording- I installed it, and am trying to record sound through my keyboard. I can hear the sound through my headphones, and Audition recognizes  the device, ( I have the input set to Mono > Line In 1 FastTrack) but not the sound. The level bar won't move or anything. I have no clue why this isn't working and I've been messing with it for hours so I'd really appriciate some help!

Since this behavior usually indicates an interruption in the communication between Audition and the audio driver, I wonder if a "force driver reload" button would help. I'm not sure if the application can automatically sense this state since there appears to be enough of a data stream to make it appear as if things are ok.
Either way, it's something that needs investigation.

  • One USB port isn't working...

    Hey,
    I just realised that one of my USB ports isn't working when I plugged in my mouse... Should I be very concerned about this?
    I live in a really remote community (ie no stores anywhere closer than a 3 hour plane ride away) and can't bear the thought of living without a computer for several weeks if I send it to Apple to be repaired.
    Could it be a sign that there's something else going on? Is is expensive to fix?
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    When one USB port isn't working, often a Power Management Unit (PMU) reset will fix it. Follow these directions: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449

  • M-Audio FastTrack USB - very low signal level (line/guitar)

    I've used FastTrack USB for a couple of years with a microphone through the XLR input with no problems. Now I am trying to connect a line output of a synthesizer to the line input of the FastTrack and the signal level is very low. There is no noise, it's just quiet, even with the track volume all the way up it's still no match for the rest of the tracks.
    Any suggestions, except for trying all the knobs and switches on the face and back of the unit (tried that already)? Anybody has similar setup?
    I use FastTrack for audio input, and built-in audio for output, it's connected through a hub (no problems for two years). In GB microphone is going to the Channel 1 (mono), and still works fine. Synthesizer goes to Channel 2 (mono) and is really quiet. I tried the syn with two different 1/4 cables with no difference. The headphones jack on the front of the FastTrack works fine with the normal level adjustment range, and if I plug in the headphones directly into the line out of my syn, I have sound, quiet (like you would get by connecting headphones to any line out, turntable even) but steady, so the syn must be fine.
    Any thoughts?

    No takers. Hm. OK. After some more research on the Net it appears to be that all the Fast Tracks suffer from the same problem, which makes me believe that it's not a bug, but a feature of an unexplainable kind. Oh, well, back to my old iMic noisemaker (this one works, it's just screened very poorly, so it picks up all the possible interference, and also makes its own little nasty hiss--this is why I switched to the Fast Track a while ago--so I will need to cut it out with an EQ, again). Hopefully, the EQ surgery will not affect the synthesizer's sound consistency as severely as it use to do with a microphone.

  • M-Audio FastTrack USB through GarageBand 2 Questions

    Hi,
    I am running the M-Audio Fast Track USB on my MAC
    desktop (OS X 10.4.7 Tiger), through the MAC Garage
    Band recording program. I am having a serious amount
    of trouble getting this thing to work.
    First: When I record a track through GT Player
    Express onto Garage Band, it seems to be recording in
    MONO. I have the Fast Track Set to stereo.
    I am unable to hear the recorded instrument track
    during playback.
    When I switch the preferences to Built In Speaker to
    hear the instrument track, I can hear it, but the Guitar Express
    effect is gone.
    Also. It doesn't seem like the FastTrack Module pushes very much sound...???
    In a nut shell, I haven't been able to record a successful instrument track yet.
    I would appreciate any suggestions/help. Thanks for your time!

    I am also a recent purchaser of the m-audio fast track interface.
    What's with this "plug and play" ? The Mac simply won't take in my 1/4 " input from my guitars (acoustic with a pickup & electric) through the USB connection. I've been tweaking it for the last 2 hours and seem to be getting nowhere in GarageBand. My "sound" pref setting are fine. Under prefs in GB it states 0 Midi input(s) detected. It hardly moves the sensor in the "sound" pref settings when I strum.
    This is very frustrating! I had no problem connecting an old MIDI keyboard to GB with a very simple USB - MIDI device. Spent a bit more on this and no results!
    I may just take it back. Do I need a pre amp? How much $? Is the separately powered firewire interface better???
    Help Please!

  • GB2 + M-Audio FastTrack USB + Bass

    Hi,
    I have a problem whereby using the above gives me a very low input into GB2. To clarify:
    - Using GB2 with update in 10.9.3
    - Using Amercian Precsision Bass so decent output from guitar with a new cablewaves guitar cable
    - DI'd straight into FT USB
    - FT USB input setting set to highhest
    - Guitar/Line input set to guitar
    - OS X and GB2 input levels set to high
    Seems strange as this should have a reasonably decent signal. My strat has a higher inout level.
    Anyone had this problem? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Wayne

  • Ethernet to USB cord isn't working

    I moved to the Caribbean from Chicago.  Once I got here my Macbook does not recognize my ethernet to usb adapter.  Any suggestions?

    An USB to Ethernet adapter has nothing to do with your geographic location.
    So, unless you can provide relavent details about your issues, no one will be able to make suggestions.

  • MacBook Pro USB ports only sorta working...

    Both USB ports on my MacBook Pro have stopped being recognized. I can still synchronize my iPhone, but cannot use thumb drives or external hard drives. I've tried all the previously suggested remedies to no avail. Other thoughts, please.

    Hey deanfromjensen beach,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    That is odd that your USB ports are working to sync your iPhone but not working with thumb drives or hard drives.  Do USB keyboards or mice work?
    There is an article for help troubleshooting USB in Yosemite.

  • Quicktime screen recording doesn't work anymore!

    Hi,
    I'm running 10.8.4 on my MacBook Pro.
    Quicktime screen, audio, and movie recording doesn't work anymore.
    I repaired my Permissions, and it didn't fix the bug.
    What is wrong?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    I am having this problem too. I've never used QuickTime 10.2 (build 603) to do this, but when I try today, it doesn't work.
    I launch QT, then choose "Record Screen" from the FILE menu. The black "record" window appears, but it is not clickable, nor does it do anything.
    I can quit QT via the cmd-tab shortcut, but otherwise it is not selectable. odd.
    To the devs: can this bug be fixed and a new QT installer generated... I am guessing that many of us would prefer not having to wait for an entire OS upgrade to have this fixed -- thanks!
    (note: I have no special soundcard or any other mods to this MacBook Pro 13" running OSX10.8.5)

  • Connecting 2 USB Devices for recording in GarageBand blue yeti and M-Audio Mobil pre. will they both work together one track each?

    I Have set my Audio Midi Setup under Audio Devices to Aggregate Devices and selected M-Audio MobilPre USB and Blue Yeti Microphone.
    I plugged my MobilPre into one USB port on my MacBook and the Blue Yeti Mic into the other USB on my MacBook. So I have two inputs
    and I set each device for OUTPUT as the HeadPhones from the Blue Yeti Mic. I still cannot record the vocals on the blue yeti and the Guitar on the MobilPre
    At the same time even though both show the rec button is active on both. What do I need to do to get these to both work recording at the same time?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed with audio in Alsamixer". Can you clarify?
    With that said, my problem did mysteriously fix itself after some update (presumably to alsa). Unfortunately, I noticed it in passing one day while I was changing the volume of something in pavucontrol, so I don't remember the exact update that caused it to work. But yes, my current setup does work now: I can listen to audio through my DAC and use the Yeti for recording. However, I have found that use of the Yeti crashes Google Hangouts, although it works perfectly in every other program I've tried.
    As documentation, here is my current working setup (it is very similar to the above): in PulseAudio, the DAC is set to be a Digital Stereo (IEC958) output. The Yeti (called an 'Integrated Rate Matching Hub' in pavucontrol) is set to be an Analog Stereo Input. In the input devices section, I have the Yeti's volume set to around 58% (-14.31 dB), which is past the base volume a fair ways but produces decent levels for recording. The DAC's volume is set to 100% (0dB gain, the DAC takes care of the level). In alsamixer, I have the mic level for the Yeti set to 40.
    Edit: This is a long-time-later edit, but let me say that when you have multiple USB audio devices, what USB hub and in what order they are connected seems to matter a great deal. If you can't get your Blue Yeti to work, try moving it to a different set of USB ports (controlled by a different controller) on your motherboard. This magically fixes the issue for me.

  • I have a m-audio producer usb microphone and since the update on Dec. 22, 2013 Logic hasn't been allowing me to record with it. Logic is reading the microphone as the input but the audio tracks don't have the record enable button. What's wrong?

    I have a m-audio producer usb microphone and since the update on Dec. 22, 2013 Logic hasn't been allowing me to record with it. Logic is reading the microphone as the input but the audio tracks don't have the record enable button and won't let me select an input for the audio track on the inspector panel. What are some possible solutions.

    Certain M-Audio USB devices (along with some other USB2 class compliant devices that don't use drivers) no longer work with Logic Pro X 10.0.5
    At this time it is unknown as to why this has happened. Nor is it known if Apple will need to fix it or if it is up to the Developers of said USB2 devices  to remedy the problem.
    In the mean time, assuming you made/could make backups prior to updating to 10.0.5.... the solution is to roll back to LPX 10.0.4...

    If they don't provide an update for your interface, it looks like there will be no way to have it work..
