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)

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

MIDI problems with M-Audio Keystation Pro 88

I have an M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 MIDI keyboard controller I use with any number of DAW's. Lately the MIDI signals have been acting very strangely when I updated to 10.10. I have updated all the MIDI drivers in my library and since the M-Audio products need no drivers for a MAC, there are never updates in either firmware or MIDI drivers.
Example;
When running any of the DAW's I open Kontakt 5 and assign a VI. I right click the volume knob on the VI and tell it to "learn MIDI" and when I move a fader on the KeyStation it's inverted. No gain is now Hi and vice versa. Anyone else having this issue with MIDI in Yosemite?

Thanks Jord,
I have been trying this out. So i set up a new preset bank and say label it 'Live', in this preset bank i then set up my preset.
Everytime the M-Audio is turned off and on will i have to load the new preset bank 'Live' using Enigma, or will it be stored in its memory

What is the problem with 15-inch Macbook Pro model 2011 after connecting to TV with HDMI chord?

Today we connected a 15-inch Macbook Pro model 2011 with HDMI chord to an Insigna Television. We plugged and unplugged couple of times. But recently the macbook pro is having technical issues. The following symptoms are:
1. Macbook pro turns on and off
2. The screen stays blue and keeps loading but does not load to the desktop so you can't access to anywhere
3. The screen sometimes becomes fuzzy and the apple logo that shows before it loads to the desktop is fuzzy
4. Sometimes fuzzy lines appear on the screen like you see on television when there's a bad signal
5. The screen stays blue
6. Sometimes little specks appear on the screen
Only thing we did was turn it off and restart but it still leads to the same symptoms above.
Does anyone have any clue what caused this problem? I am guessing it is due to the connection to the HDMI chord, since we didn't turn the macbook on and off when we plugged it, rather we just unplugged and plugged the chord while the macbook is running.
Another theory might be watching movies from an online source but the first theory seems to make more sense.
We scheduled a meeting with the genius bar tomorrow but does anyone might have any clue? And also any ideas how to fix this? This is an emergency because there are important files on the macbook we didn't back up and we hope the files are safe and we need to use the macbook ASAP. Let us know anything that might have caused this and/or any solutions or help. That would be appreciated and thank you.

Hey there! Welcome to the Discrete GPU issue clube ... post your relate here >>> 2011 MacBook Pro and Discrete Graphics Card
And for GOD SAKE! Call Apple to tell them that you're another user with such problem ... that action can improve a future recall. BTW the fix price for your problem is around U$ 1000,00 ... that's the meaning of the recall attempt

Problems with M-Audio Keystation 49e midi keyboard after 10.4.7 upgrade

I've noticed a problem with my midi keyboard and GB3 after this most recent OS upgrade. You start playing the keyboard using some instrument such as Grand Piano. After a while there is no sound coming out. You must turn off/on the keyboard, then it starts working again. Sometimes its not as easy, and it requires shutting down GB and restarting. This morning I had to actually reboot the machine before I could get any sound.
This is really a pain in the neck. My son is trying to practice his piano and keeps having to power cycle the keyboard every 5 minutes.
Any suggestions? This has happened before the OS upgrade, but it just seems to be happening more in the past few days.
Thanks,
Alfredo

To clarify my early post, I don't care for the feel of the controller, I own one as a back up, it sits around and always works perfect (plus it takes no drivers!) every time I plug it in. My friend has had one for a couple years as his main controller and recently it has started to give some ghost midi signals while recording (unintentional pitch and mod animations while recording) I was at another place recently where we had one that would not respond at all, 1 mac desktop, 1 powerbook and 1 dell laptop. All around I see this keyboard everywhere and it works fine for almost everyone on every computer, plus the one I own is perfect. But I have had some mixed results in my personal experiences with the device. I would be surprised if this device has developed an issue because of the mac os update, that sounds like a coincidence in my opinion because the device is "class compliant" and does not require drivers; but that is my opinion and a SWAG (the term SWAG is property of hangtime and borrowed, I hope HT takes no offense)

FCP 6 with M-audio fastrack pro and sample rates

hello, having a weird problem in FCP 6.02 under OS X 10.4.11 on a MacPro where if i record a voiceover through my m-audio fastrack at 48khz, which matches the sequence and project settings, it comes back at the wrong sample rate (plays back higher pitch), but if i record it at 44.1 it sounds right. any ideas on this?
thanks in advance
david

Perhaps the M-Audio is still recording at 44.1, and FCP is set to convert the audio to 48k, but is unable to resample as it would with an analog source. I would try to access the control panel for the M-Audio box and see if you can get it to force its sample rate to 48k outside of FCP. If so, you can probably get FCP to record correctly at 48k. If not, you might be better off just letting it record in 44.1, and maybe batch exporting later to upconvert.
Hope this helps -

Problems with M-Audio Keystation Pro 88

Hello everyone,
I am using a M-Audio keyboard as my controller keyboard in Logic 7.2. I have assigned certain instruments from Logic to differnet zones on the M-Audio. I have done this for four songs hence i have used 4 of the presets on the M-Audio.
What i am experiencing is that some of the faders or knobs have been assigned to certain parameters in Logic. For example the knob B10 controls the pan of the instrument. I thought you had to assign them yourself.
How do i set up my M_audio keyboard so that nothing is assigned to any of the faders, knobs and buttons on the M-Audio.
Cheers

ITunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with the audio config.

I didn't make any audio changes, but since I startet up my laptop the last time there occures allways a warning pop up when I'm trying to open iTunes. The pop up contains the following message: "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration".
And there is just the possibility to click the "close" button on the pop up.
So now uninstalled and re-installed the newest version of iTunes, but this didn't solve the problem. I allso searched through the audio settings in the control panel area. But I dind't find any false settings, or maybe I just don't know where the problem is.
Does someone know what the problem could be. Or did someone have similar problems and found a way tosolve it?
Could it be possible that another audio program such as winamp media player creates a problem for the startup of iTunes?
Thanxx a lot for any helpfull replies, cheers sal

typically, that error message is caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
the following document may be of some assistance:

Soundtrack Pro is dropping audio because your computer's hard disk can't deliver all the audio in time. Try removing some long files or quitting other applications.
The problem is that i have 200 GB free space and in one time use only soundtrack for working.
Please help!!!!

Thank you fro your answer, but i try to make a short audio 30 sec. spot. The media for this spot is not very big. The transfer of system disk is 50 mb/s do you think if we put another disk will help?

Trying to get my fcp project to burn to dvd at the highest quality? Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
How are you adding the files to Compressor?
In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

This message recently popped up on my PC - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." What does this mean and how to fix ??

Hi Everyone - recently this message popped up on my PC, when I was trying to import cd's into the iTunes library and then onto my iPod - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it ?? I am not fantastically PC savvy, so any information explained fully and all steps to follow to get my music playing again would be great !! Thanks, SC

Hi B, thanks so much for helping me troubleshoot !!
Ok, so when I went in to check the Audio tab of the Sounds and Audio Device Properties, I found the following:-
* Sound Playback Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* Sound Recording Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* MIDI Music Playback Default Device = No MIDI Playback Devices.
All text in this drop-down box were light grey, and therefore unable to be selected or altered.
I also tried playing a cd through Windows Media player, to see if I could get sound a different way. When I put the cd in and clicked on Play, the following message appeared, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your PC, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functoning properly."
Any ideas ? I had sound previously, but then a work colleague re-built the PC to add more space to the hard drive, and since then, no sound. I know this may now not just be an iTunes issue, but I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
Thanks again,
Shell
