#Fast track ultra reviews mac os x
The one problem I've had so far is if I power the unit up first using the power adapter and then connect the USB cable, Mac OS X gives me the grey screen of death "You need to restart your computer" etc. I strongly encourage open discussions here on the forums and trying out the gear for yourself. I don't expect anyone to trust my word on the products as I work for the company.
#Fast track ultra reviews drivers
We also spent a lot of time on the new USB 2.0 drivers so they are very solid and reliable. The line inputs were designed to bypass the mic preamp so you get a cleaner, more direct signal. The Headphone amps have also been re-designed to offer more clarity and power. The SNR for the preamps is -103dB and there's about 53dB of gain range (from +6dB - +59dB) without the 20dB pad. The preamps are based on the Octane design but have been enhanced with newer technologies for better performance. The chip set used is entirely new in order to get the higher performance and USB 2.0 functionality. To start, yes the Ultra is a completely new design compared to the Fast Track Pro. I did directly manage the Fast Track Ultra and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I've only been with the company for about 1 year (I was with Mackie before this) so I don't have a ton of info on our legacy products. I'm the Hardware Product Manager for M-Audio. Maybe that's just wishful thinking though. I think M-Audio is headed in a better direction since being acquired by Avid. They had to upgrade everything anyway to support USB 2.0.Īnyway, I have only used it for a live recording where so many other things can be blamed for the "squashed" sound - see the sample in the other thread that I linked above and decide for yourself. Id use them if I absolutely had to but I would reach for something else first.According to our M-Audio contact here on GS, this device uses an entirely different chipset and preamps than the Fast Tracks before it - as in, all they have in common is the name.

The had a little more bandwidth in them but I though they still sounded a little to squeezed for my taste. The mic pres are slightly better than Behringer's. I dont use it for recording into the computer, I use it more for playing VST instruments in real time.Ģ. Probably around 1k or so) Could be the fact I have it sitting on a preamp between the preamp and power distribution but its always been this noisy. Cant speak for the ultra but I do have a fast track pro.ġ.
