About Page
This page will show you the Fast Track USB’s current driver and firmware versions, and allow you to connect to the M-Audio website for updates.
Hardware Page
The Hardware Page allows you to adjust the unit’s buffer size here, in order to achieve the optimal balance between system stability and audio latency. It also allows you to set the unit’s bit depth to 16or 24-bit.
Latency is defined as the time it takes for your input signal to pass through your audio software and appear at the outputs. Smaller buffer sizes result in lower latency, but may not function well with slower systems. This drop-down menu selects the buffer size that Fast Track USB uses to handle digital audio streaming.
The default Latency setting is “Medium.” This setting should serve your purposes, but you can experiment with lower settings if you wish. If you experience stuttering or crackling in your audio playback, try using a higher latency setting.
