Trouble hooking up krk rokit 5's with M-Audio Fast track Ultra

Hey everybody,
I just picked up a pair of krk rokit 5 monitors and for some reason i am having a really hard time getting sound. i connected the rca into output 1 and 2 on the fast track ultra. I set the FTU as the output and input for logic and in the mac settings. NO SOUND zip nada! I might be doing something wrong so if anyone has any advice or know what to do, lemme know! thanks! I would appreciate it!

Hi,
don't use the RCA. most probably you have mistakenly connected the S/PDIF outputs of the Fast Track to you Rokits. You'll need either a standard TRS 3,5'' connector cable - the plugs look like the standard stereo headphone plugs - not the little ones, but the bigger ones (if-ya-no-wod-i-mean).
Or you could use a TRS-XLR cable. Either way, you'll need to use the correct outputs on the Fast track, since there are more than one. I'd suggest you use outputs 1 and 2 (for left and right channel).

  • Is Logic Pro X compatible with M Audio Fast Track Ultra ?

    I'm running Logic 8 Pro with M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.
    I'd like to upgrade to Logic Pro X.
    Will these components be compatible?

    If it has a Mountain Lion compatible driver then it should work. (Its not about LPX compatibility.. its about OS X compatibility that matters in almost every case)
    See here for the drivers...
    http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Ultra-Drivers
    V2.2.2 is 10.8 compatible however there are several threads in their forums that indicate issues with 10.8.3 and higher...
    Here is an example..
    http://community.m-audio.com/m-audio/topics/driver_for_m_audio_fast_track_ultra_ mac_mountain_lion_10_8_3
    Given that your interface is no longer a supported item..  and Avid have taken over M-Audio.. it might be that there will be no further updates leaving you unfortunately, with an out of date and no longer supported piece of hardware... which frankly is typical of M-Audio...
    As a quick aside... This is why I stick with Motu equipment.. and have done so for many, many years now. Their support both for new and legacy devices is and has always been.. excellent.. and my original Ultralite Mk1 which is at least 7 years old now I believe, is still fully supported in the latest OS X version. using the latest Motu Drivers..
    Anyhow.. Check with M-Audio/Avid to find out if this has been resolved......

  • No sound with M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

    Hi community!
    I'm trying to get sound out of my monitors with no luck.
    I'm running on an OS X 10.7.5. I'm aware of the issue people are having with the 2013 iMacs, but mine is 2012.
    The M-Audio software is reading the sound, and I have my preferences set to the interface but nothing!
    Help? Thank you.
    (Cables are fine, volumes are up, power is on...)

    The Avid company appears to be who acquired M-Audio.

    They have a user forum; as I found while looking around
    and there was an item relating to FastTrack Ultra drivers*.
    So it is possible to ask a question in an appropriate place
    and hope that someone there has an adequate reference.
    *This discussion pertains to Mavericks, however.

  • 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...

  • M-AUDIO Fast Track Ultra with Final Cut 7

    I have been using an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra device with Final Cut 6 and could listen to Quicktime 5.1 audio files in the timeline in full surround. Since I installed the Studio 3 upgrade with Final Cut 7 (same OSX version), this is not working anymore. I just have stereo output. When I start my backup version of Final Cut 6, it still work fine.
    Any clue how to fix this in Final Cut 7 ?

    Hi,
    The 5.1 audio preset was already selected in the setting and each of the 6 audio tracks is assign to the proper speaker. It was the same set-up in the v6 but it was working which is not the case in the v7. There might be a new setting somewhere.
    Thanks for trying.

  • 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!

  • 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???

  • Cannot record any sound with my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra audio interface

    Have been using Logic for about 3 months and was able (primarily via keyboards/midi recording) to create some decent recordings (via the 'hard' way, some books, video training and without bothering a lot of people with many of my questions). Time has come to start with analog audio recording and here my problem starts. Have recently purchased the Fast Track Ultra audio interface from M-Audio.
    Drivers are installed correctly. The device is saying that it functions properly. It gets recognized by my iMAC. It gets recognized in Logic and can enable the device in my audio preferences. I can clearly see in the control panel of my USB audio interface it is creating sound and meters are going up and down.
    I get sound in my head phones (which are connected to the audio interface) but within Logic no sound is coming in while with the build in microphone everything seems to work fine. Have played around all kind of settings in my audio/midi configuration utility but no result.
    Who can help me out ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jozef.

    Have done a test within Garageband and it works correctly overthere

  • 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!

  • FCE 4 with M-Audio Fast Track Pro

    I have an M-Audio Fast Track Pro with a condenser mike using phantom power, connected via USB.
    I have used that at length for voiceovers on iMovie '08 without any issues.
    Now I'm making the transition to FCE 4, and when I select "Voiceovers" and then change the microphone from "Inbuilt" to "M-Audio Fast Track Pro", I get an immediate Kernel Panic.
    Latest drivers for M-Audio FTP are installed (and they specify 10.5.2 compatibility.
    Using 10.5.2 with all latest software updates on a 2.8Ghz 24" iMac.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks Jonathan, yeah, me too (just starting out).
    I must admit, I haven't investigated Soundtrack - though I wonder if the issue of Kernel Panic would be any different - I can try, at least. So, thanks for the suggestion - but I guess that the "Voiceover" facility in FCE is there for a reason.
    By the way - my initial info was in error - the M-Audio driver specifies 10.5.1 not 10.5.2. All you OSX experts - would such an OS upgrade be likely to make a difference to a driver like that - or is that an impossible question?
    Thanks again,
    Greg

  • Soundproblem: Mac Book Pro with M-Audio Fast Track pro.

    Powerbook: Mac Book pro 10.6.8., 2,66 Ghz, Intel Core i7, 4GB
    Interface: M-Audio: Fast track Pro
    Version 1.8.1.
    I have a problem with the M-Audio Interface with the Mac-Pro via USB. It sounds as if the speaker is broken. The Powerbook works normal - via intern soundcard no problem. The Interface, too. I checked it with my Mac Pro (Mac Pro, 10.5.8, 2x 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel, 8GB Ram,) no problem!
    Ger: Seit neuestem Krächzt und rauscht der Sound über das M-Audio Interface, als wären die Speaker durchgeknallt. Lief sonst immer ohne Probleme. Weiss nicht ob es an 10.6.8 oder dem M-Audio liegt? Der Rechner läuft sonst einwandfrei - interne Audio läuft tadellos. Das Interface genauso - auch meinem festen Rechner Mac Pro, 10.5.8, 2x 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel, 8GB Ram,

    No problem, you need to select an audio track and select input monitoring if you want to hear something and of course recording (the first two square buttons in the track, marked I and R) and plug your headphones into the M-Audio otherwise you won't hear anything (as mentioned above) cause that is what the m-audio is for, it replaces your computer's sound card. And unless you set up some aggregate device your computer's sound card will not work...and (nearly forgot) if you plug in your guitar in one channel you need to select a mono audio track to record otherwise it will be only on one side.

  • Guitar "twang" when recording with macmini and M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

    hey was hoping someone might have similar setup or enough knowledge to help out.
    when i record guitar through my interface i get a clip after each guitar note that sounds very flangey (or like and outter-space type "twang" if that helps describe it) i was hoping it would come out a bit cleaner. and yes i have made sure no effects are turned on. its should be straight up clean guitar, and the notes preceding these clips are in-fact nice and clean. its just the milliseconds after each note that are bothering me.
    my biggest issue is i don't know if its being caused by my interface or a bad setting within the program. I am using the build in preamp and plugging directly into the unit, so i'm going to get a mic and see how it sounds then.
    I did a lot of research on the D/A interfaces out there and i went with the fast track ultra for the price and because the company really hyped these preamps. this is the general description you will find on sites trying to sell the FTU "4 preamps with award-winning M-Audio Octane technology"
    if this noise is cause by a problem with these preamp.... im gona be POBB! i would have saved up and waited to buy and apogee product! anyone out these using an ensemble??? would love to hear some feedback about that unit! thanks in advance for any help!

    hey thanks for the reply! i have since adjusted a few parameters and had good luck going directly into the ftu's 1/4in jack in the front. the more i use the program the more im understanding (you can see i'm relieving my neebie side!) i have not messed much with the ftu's control program itself, is this helpful when trying to get good levels and such?
    how knowledgable are you about microphones? i have a garbage mic from radio shack and when trying to record my acoustic guitar with it i really need to crank up the input on the ftu and be close to the mic to get a signal. this in turn creates that "fuzzy warm" sound that you can hear before the guitar starts playing. it's that analog sound like going through an old tube-amp or something... now while the instrument is playing its not as noticeable obviously and some people even like to add this sort of effect onto digital stuff to give it that warm feeling...
    my question is- what if i want just a nice crisp acoustic recording from my mic into garageband? do i go with something that uses phantompower or what? im just so lost because i don't know much about mics (except they can get REAL expensive... saw one for 7k at guitar center by me!) well sorry for ramblings! thanks in advance for help!

  • How to record guitar direct with M-Audio Fast Track?

    My brand new M-Audio Fast Track MkII is installed with drivers loaded. (The Mac is restarted.) In GarageBand, under Input Source, I see Mono 1 and Mono 2, further down I see Stereo 1/2. Should I not see an option for the M-Audio?
    Suggestions?
    Thank you-

    For monitoring you need to select the output in garageband preferences. If you're monitoring from the fast track choose that if you're monitoring from the mac choose built in.
    I think the guitar is channel 2 on fast track so choose mono 2. Make sure monitoring is turned on.

  • Is Logic Pro X compatible with M-Audio Fast Track Pro?

    Hi,
    new Logix Pro X looks very interesting - does anyone know if M-Audio Fast Track Pro is compatible with it (couldn't find any topics so far..).
    Thanks for your help!

    Back to basics..
    I googled Fast Track Pro compatibility with OS X 10.8.x and found several incompatibility issues and no experiences in version 10.8.4 so far.
    So there is a risk that when ugprading Lion to Mountain Lion 10.8.4, Fast Track Pro wouldn't work any longer.
    And purchasing LPX for 180e and a new MOTU audio interface for 230e over doubles the initial price of LPX alone..not so attractive deal anymore..
    Do you know if there are any good ways to get back to Lion after installing ML if there seems to be problems with Fast Track Pro? I'm using MacBook Pro with preinstalled Lion. I googled too many articles on this and I'm still confused if going back to Lion is possible or not.
    Thanks again!
