Audible latency with an M-Audio Fast Track Pro.

Sepp Ultura · Post by **Sepp Ultura** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 3:39 pm

Hi Folks,

I'm currently using an M-Audio Fast Track Pro for a theatre production. The problem is that there's a clearly audible latency when running audio through the Fast Track, as opposed to the MacBook-internal audio card. And as I should be able to fire off samples on time, that's a problem.

I've played around with the buffer settings, and Live shows an overall latency of 6.5 ms, which should not be a problem, but I can definitely hear it.

Am I missing something?

Cheers
Matt

I can tell you from working with a few friends maudio just did updates for all there gear so check your driver as well to make sure you have the latest from the maudio website.

I've just installed the whole thing a couple a days ago.. So I guess I've got the latest driver.

And as far as I know, Mac doesn't work with ASIO drivers..

How are you routing it all?

What do you mean exactly?

All audio produced by Ableton Live goes out on outputs 1 and 2. Then into a Mackie 24CH Mixer, using two channels.

I purchased an m-audio fast track pro and had the same issues. As far as I can tell that thing is garbage. I returned it and purchased a N\I interface and it works perfectly. Just my 2 cents tho...

I haven't got the CD, as I've borrowed the FTP from a shop for a theatre production. I've got the driver from the m-audio website. And that should be the latest.

I think it must be the driver. Can't imagine anything else.

I won't buy it, that's clear. I think I'll go for a Focusrite interface if I need one.
