Intel based MAC and M-Audio products

Hello hello tech forums,

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.

Any help is much appreciated!!

did you try this beta driver? (specifically for 10.5.3 but may work on 10.5.7)

thanks for the quick response!

I will give this a shot :slight_smile:

i’m on these forums too much :stuck_out_tongue:

oh and psstt google is your friend! :wink:

lost whats google?

Ok that seemed to work.

My next issue is, no audio. I have no audio coming out of traktor at all. At one point it was feeding out of the PH mix rather than the Master..

any ideas?

(i am following this format within the preferences)

lol

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 :stuck_out_tongue: sorry but i don’t really have any experience with this.

hey court are you going to mix internal or external?

Mixing w/ an external mixer, but I believe Internal via Traktor.

I posted on this a few weeks back.

Heres a link

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.

If you want to mix with an external mixer why would you want to mix internally in Traktor?

I only want 2 decks, i’ll try this when I get home – thanks

I am mixing off my computer, so traktor is necessary to mix with. My external is just some baby mixer, nothing $$$.

Right, I guess it’s just a semantics thing. You’re mixing externally, but using Traktor, got it :slight_smile:

Good luck and rock out. Don’t forget to record it and let us hear what you got

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.

Thanks,
CourT

I could be talking bollocks but:

I think you have your outputs crossed.

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.

Hmm, bollocks. I have my audio output to my speaker coming through the TRS (1) on Fast Trak Pro.

When I set it up in pairs in traktor, like I have, in attached, it still remains on the B side. Or it just comes only through the headphones.

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.
