I’m a newbie with a lot of questions. I’ll start with my first one, is this an error on my installation process or is it true that:
“You cannot open M-Audio Fast Track Pro preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac.”
I recently upgraded my MAC and reconfiguring my old profiles has turned into quite the pain. I could be doing something incorrect, but I am really tired of searching and searching on the interwebs.
I own traktor, fast track pro, and an external mixer – trying to get this all up and running again, but the only thing I am keep running is, into problems.
well if you were getting at least some audio, sounds like a mixup of channel assignments? when this happens to me i just fiddle with setting until something works sorry but i don’t really have any experience with this.
It all depends on what you want to do. If you want 4 decks or just 2. If you want 4 decks then you would have to use traktor’s internal mixer. Set your main to the cards 1 and 2 outs and set your monitor to the 3 and 4 outs. then you would route 1 and 2 to your mixer channel and plug your headphones in to the fast track and set it to monitor channel b.
Now if you just want 2 decks, you could turn off traktor’s internal mixer. Set deck a to 1 and 2 and deck b to 3 and 4, route to the appropriate channels on your mixer and then use your mixer’s headphone cue.
Thanks for all your efforts guys, I appreciate the help. I’m about 50% back to where I want to be. It seems I am only getting audio from deck B and none out of A. Any ideas? I’ve attached screen shots of my Output settings.
If your Master is 1 and 2 then that should be in the Master Output (you currently have 1 and 4 in the screen shot)
If your Master is out of 3 and 4 then change it to that (instead of 1 and 4)
usually stuff works in pairs ie: 1 and 2 or 3 and 4.
Not to state the obvious, but working a day job in tech support I know sometimes the easiest stuff is overlooked the easiest. So are you turning on the cue and trying to monitor the other side when you are only getting audio on one side.
I know they should be paired, A should be your 1/2, and b your 3/4. Dont forget to put the button properly for a or be depending on which side you have set for monitor.
Have you correctly assigned the Crossfader ?
Your outputs are definitely crossed in your screenshot.
Id sort out the master before looking at the monitor.
Surely TRS 1 and 2 are a stereo pair ? You should be using both outputs to get A and B in stereo.
