Compatibility

Windows

Fast Track Ultra is supported under Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later, or

Windows Vista (32-Bit editions). It is not supported under Windows Media Center

Edition, Windows 2000, Windows 98, 98SE or Windows ME.

Mac

Fast Track Ultra is supported by PowerPC-based Macs running Mac OS X

10.3.9 / 10.4.10 or later, as well as Intel-based Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.10

or later.

Please see the User Guide for speciﬁc Minimum System Requirements.

Important Note about Bus Power: Fast Track Ultra can be powered via the

included AC power supply or via bus power from the host computer. However,

when running on bus power, Fast Track Ultra will be limited to four inputs and

four outputs. These are mapped to inputs 1 and 2, outputs 1 and 2, and the

S/PDIF I/O.

Important Note about USB 1.1 Ports: Fast Track Ultra has been designed as

a USB 2.0 device. It may be used with a USB 1.1 port, but will only function as a

2-in/2-out device with sample rates limited to 44.1 and 48kHz. This is due to the

limitations of the USB 1.1 bus bandwidth.

If your computer does not have a native USB 2.0 port, you will see the following

alert during the installation process:

“Because this computer has no USB 2.0 ports,

Fast Track Ultra functionality will be limited.”

Important Note about System Upgrades: Please check the M-Audio driver

download page at http://www.m-audio.com/drivers for the availability of an

updated driver before you decide to install operating system updates.

Before new M-Audio device drivers are released, they are tested for use with the

operating system versions that are available at that time. When updates for an

operating system are released by Microsoft or Apple, all M-Audio device drivers

have to be re-tested and possibly updated to ensure proper operation.

M-Audio recommends refraining from installing operating system updates until a

driver has been posted to the M-Audio website for that speciﬁc operating system.

Using Fast Track Ultra

Recording Analog Inputs

Connect microphones or electric instruments via the front-panel inputs, or line level

sources via the rear-panel line inputs, making sure the front/rear selector switches

are set to the correct input type. Use the gain pots to set the recording levels,

making sure that the LED level meters are never lit red. Engage phantom power via

the rear panel slider if using condenser microphones. If using the line inputs, the

gain pots for the associated mic inputs should be turned down to avoid unwanted

noise. See the User Guide for more information on recording input sources.

Recording Digital Inputs

Connect a digital S/PDIF source to the rear-panel S/PDIF input. Go to the

Settings tab in the Fast Track Ultra Control Panel and select S/PDIF as the clock

source to ensure proper digital clocking. See the User Guide for more information

on digital synchronization.

Adjusting the Output Level

Connect the Fast Track Ultra rear panel line outputs to a mixing console, ampliﬁer

or powered monitors. Outputs 1 and 2 can be directly controlled by the front-panel

main output level knob. Other outputs are controlled via your DAW application or

the Fast Track Ultra Control Panel.

Headphone Monitoring

The two front-panel headphone outputs are assigned to line outputs 1/2 and 3/4,

respectively. Select the Monitor 1/2 or Monitor 3/4 tab from the Fast Track Ultra

Control Panel and adjust the monitoring levels for the desired hardware input

channels and for signals returning from your recording software (software returns).

Adjustments made here will only affect monitoring (listening) levels. Recordings are

not affected by level settings made in the Fast Track Ultra Control Panel.
