M-audio fasttrack

I can't get my fasttrack to play into logic. I have verified with maudio that its working and class compliant. How do I get logic to recognize it, so I can record? Help!

I have a FastTrack Pro, but I can't get Logic Pro 7.2's master output to route to Fast Track Pro's audio outputs 3/4.
Anyone know how or why I can't?

Problems with M-Audio Fasttrack Pro and Garageband after 10.5.2

Hi all,
I use GarageBand daily with my M-Audio FastTrack Pro and have had absolutely no problems until I installed the 10.5.2 update.
Suddenly the Audio randomly cuts out when I'm recording, monitoring or playing back - also my recordings appear to skip and jump too. Usually I can rectify it by power cycling the Fasttrack but the problem re-occurs after about 30 seconds of recording.
I have double checked the I am using M-Audio's latest drivers and have repaired permissions and the disk. I was wondering if anyone else had had any problems with this?
All help would be appreciated, looks like I'm going back to 10.5.1 though.

Hi !
Still no answer from M-Audio but it seems that they are not in cause.
I read on several topics of Apple's Forums some similar problems with other audio devices and also with some USBhubs.
I ran some little tests and for my case, using the other USB port of the MacBook seems to resolve the problem (but that's not a permanent solution for my point of view).
Using a selft-powered USBhub works also, even on the port that makes it crash without hub.
As I studied a little bit of electronics, it looks really like a problem of power supply through USB to me. It could be some kind of micro-cuts (or micro-undervoltage) that are sufficient to cut the audio stream and freeze a bit the system but not enough for MacOSX to switch significantly to the internal audio.
But two questions still remain :
Why one USB port of the MacBook and not the other one ?
Why since 10.5.2 ?
Steve, if you hear me ;o)

I need HELP connecting a M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB with a Behringer 1202!!!

i need some assistance wireing up my personal studio. Im running on a Mac Pro Tower Logic 8. I have a M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB interface and want to hook up a Behringer 1202fx mixer. How exactly do i do the wiring for this???what settings do i need to change in system preferences or in Logic.????? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

It depends what you want to do, and what gear you are hooking up and what you want to do with it.
How you hook it up really depends on your needs, which you don't specify.

M-Audio FastTrack Pro output works, input fails.

Greeting, Archers
I'm trying to get microphone input for the M-Audio FastTrack Pro working.
So far, I have output working.. but with input.. no dice.
I would rather not have to install windows or Ubuntu Studio.. but that is my last resort :S
KTHXBYE

Yes, I beleive I am. I'm using Gnome-Shell at the moment, and I think it comes with pulseaudio by default.

Audio output problem - using M-Audio Fasttrack

I had been using Logic Express (7.2.3) without any issues until recently plugging in a mic through my M-Audio Fasttrack.
I don't remember the exact chain of events - but at some stage, the software instrument outputs were no longer audible played either through the M-Audio, with earphones attached to its output, or through the laptop.
Even after disconnecting the Fasttrack, resetting the audio driver to 'built-in-input' and rebooting Logic Express, I still can't get any audio output from the software instruments. They aren't muted and the volume is turned up. Audio output from other programmes is working fine.
Can anyone give me any tips on how I could resolve this/suggest what I might have done to screw the audio up and what I need to do to undo it?
Thanks,
Antony

this is actually really simple
i just had the same problem with my m-audio and called support
when you plug in the m-audio fast track mac automatically sets the input and output through the fast track. To fix this you need to create an aggregate device. heres how:
click the finder in your dock
then click applications
in applications a utilities folder should appear...click that
in applications click Audio MIDI Setup
at the very top of the computer screen where it usually says what program is open it will say Audio MIDI Setup ..next to that click Audio
then click open aggregate device editor
you need to click the + to add a device
in the aggregate device screen it should say aggregate device.
below that check the option built in output
then check the option fast track (or device your using) the one that says 2 under the IN category and 0 under the OUT category.
click done
now open logic express (reopen if already open)
then click preferences
audio
under device tab the device option needs to say aggregate device.
click apply changes
and your done!
hope it works!

Vocals on M-audio fasttrack panned all the way to left (only in left ear)

I record vocals using an m-audio fasttrack. When i listen back to the vocals they only play in the left ear, in other words, they are panned all the way to the left. When i turn the pan knob all the way to the right, i can't hear the vocals, and when i turn it back to the middle, it only plays in the left ear again.
anybody know the problem?

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.

Using MIDI cable with M-Audio FastTrack Pro

I have 2 keyboards. One has USB MIDI, so I just plug it directly in to my computer and Logic sees it. I also have a nicer keyboard (weighted keys), but this one doesn't have a USB out. It has a 1/4" jack and a 5 pin MIDI jack. I've tried plugging it into my FastTrack Pro using a MIDI cable, but it doesn't seem to work. What am I missing?
Thanks

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!

16bit 24bit with M-audio fasttrack

I just bought an m-audio fast track pro audio interface and hooked it up to my macbook (10.5.8) iTunes plays through it without problems and Logic express can record etc etc and all seems to work.
BUT only when I set the sample depth to 16bit, itunes plays with 24bit but when I use Logic I get a very bad digital distortion in the output. I have to set it to 16bit in the system preferences, then it works.
I thought Logic express can handle 24bit, the interface can handle 24bit, why doesn't it work then?
What did I do wrong?

I now just found out it seems to have something to do with the USB ports. Are they different (on a Macbook) It looks like it depends on which one is used wether you can use 24bit or 16bit recording/playback. Does anyone know about this?

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

Crashing - Logic Audio? M-Audio FastTrack Pro?

I just upgraded to Leopard. Using Logic Audio \ M-Audio Fastrack Pro. Just installed an eSATA PCI controller card for external drives.
No trouble with Logic 8 \ Tiger \ M-Audio Fastrack Pro.
Going to look for new drivers for Fastrack Pro.
Mmm. Any ideas come to mind out there?
All ears,
Ben

I think it was my M-Audio Fast Track Pro driver. Installed the latest one. Haven't had a crash in twenty minutes. That might have been the issue...

M-Audio Fast Track Pro doesn't work with OS X Mavericks Garageband or MainStage 3

I used to be able to use MainStage 3 and Garageband with my M-Audio FastTrack Pro with no problem. Then, when I upgraded to OS X.9 Mavericks, it doesn't work. Avid (who now supports the FastTrack Pro) recently came out with an updated driver that supposedly upgrades for OS X.9 Mavericks (http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Pro-Drivers), but even after downloading/installing the driver and updating the device, I still can't get it to work with Garageband or Main Stage 3.
It seems that the software sees the M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB, I even see an audio signal in both MainStage 3 and Garageband for my guitar or microphone input, but there is no output sound from the FastTrack Pro to my PA system other than the analog sound (no sim amps or vocal effects work).
Anybody been able to solve this problem?

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!

Recording audio directly from YouTube?

I'm curious here:
Working on a film. Producer wants to do some sequence tests. Producer wants to use, for the tests, a particular Vivaldi piece from YouTube. I can easily buy other versions of that same music from iTunes, but he wants to use THAT version. This is a test. The film is well financed and he plans to pay for a license for the music if it works for him, once the film is edited.
I'm trying to think of a way I could 'rip' the audio from the YouTube piece (directly from YouTube) for this test, using Logic perhaps? I don't want to record it off my speakers.
Is there a way to record something like that internally in the computer ... or feeding it out and back in through a simple M-Audio Fasttrack Pro? Hate to display obvious ignorance here ... but would love to know if, and how, one might do this?
Ben

Hi Jim,
Most perfect. What a lovely device. Thrilled I am. Works like a dream. I'll buy a license.
Very much appreciated, thank you,
Ben
