Clear DayHi Tom, Thanks for response. Well, I had normally used Windoweyes til
getting into the pc recording game so not sure if its something that i'm not
doing correctly with jaws or if simply not accessable. have a feeling its the
software but couldn't say for sure and very few replies yet. one thing i know
for sure, most likely they sent you a crummy driver with your unit so will have
to go to their web site and download most current version anyway. Forget what
it tells me when I install the original disk, but something to the effect that
this software will not load on my computer and to go to the m-audio web page to
get most current driver. i did this with no problem and installed. Even with
the install it will tell you that this software did not pass microsoft tests
and asks if you want to install anyway and you choose yes.
At least if go to their web site, you won't have to open their driver
disks. One of them is just for the free program of Appleton which is not really
useful as far as i can tell; some sort of cheep recording software. hope you
have good luck and then in return can tell me what you find out about their
software. like i say, its a pretty good unit for the price; very low noise and
not bad in latency department, but so far do not know how to use that dern
software. Even though its primary interface that dancing dots sells, have found
nobody replying who uses it and nobody from dancing dots commenting on any way
to use it so either they've never tried to use it or they have with no luck. If
they knew it was not accessable, would have been real nice if they mentioned it
ahead of time so would have bought something else from another company. May go
up to local music store and try something else. Wish i knew more people using
interfaces like this locally that i could compare to. This way could at least
borrow the software to see if it is useable. Will be very anxious to hear what
you find. let me know if anything I can do to help you out.
Am very new to pc recording and as i say, new to jaws too really, but have
a feeling its the software. Really bugs me too that they can't pack a somewhat
up to date driver with it too, as the one on their web page is not especially
new, but much newer than one they pack that can't be used at all. Please keep
in touch. you will like this interface, especially if you can get all of its
functions working. Who knows, maybe everyone has to come up with work arounds.
You are first to contact me who actually has this unit and yet even you haven't
tried yet so odd that more people on dancing dots list don't use this. Oh well,
we will see soon I guess. Take care, Dave

Hey Dave, I just bought the same interface and haven't yet tried to connect
ot my lap top. I had no idea that reading the software would be a problem. I
am glad you posted this message. I hope you get some advice it will certainly
be helpfull to me. If it's not accessible I can return it if I don't open the
discs to download the drivers.
Thanks tom

Subject: [ddots-l] m-audio fast track ultra software
Hello Friends,
Would like to get some suggestions on interfaces that have easily
accessable software. i have the m-audio fast track ultra and have not had any
luck being able to access its software in order to route signal paths. i know
that if i want to record a few people at the same time on different tracks,
there should be a way to route them on this software but do not see how it
would be done when using jaws. If anyone has this interface and have luck using
it, perhaps you can contact me off list so as to not bore others. i like the
interface very much as far as being small and having very low noise but don't
know what is required to read its software. Willing to buy a different
interface from another company if easier to use their software or does
everything onboard the unit. any ideas. Thanks much. Very much a novice and
still trying to learn so could have overlooked something but don't know where
to start. Right now can only use one input at a time cause can't read the
software. Dave
