Recording Problem

Double check that your FastTrack is selected in the General and Drivers tabs under Options>Audio for both Input and Output.
Verify the correct Driver Mode under Advanced. Are you using ASIO? You might try switching to WDM, and going through restart, then switch it back. Sometimes the system needs a little tickle.
Are you plugged into the same USB port you always use?
Have you received any Windows updates? These are notorious for causing wierdness. Have you installed any new programs?
If everything indicates that it is ok, yet still doesn't work, System Restore has become my good friend. Restore to a day when you know it worked. Be aware that you will lose any new programs if you do this.
Try shaking up the system a bit, but if nothing else works, you might want to reinstall the FastTrack drivers.
Good luck.

I think RobertB updates his Windows several times a day .....

I rinse down mine with a chamois leather once a month

Hi there Tom

Just in case you've accidentally disabled it, double click your speaker icon in the system tray and select the 'Options>Properties>Recording' option - make sure your line-in [or whatever input you're using] is selected - if not, just click in the box and a green tick will appear to activate the input.

If the tick box is checked, click on the 'OK' link and make sure the fader under your input hasn't been dragged down to zero.

You might also want to try running the 'Wave Profile' command in the Options>Audio window.

I came across this THREAD with a search for your problem - it might be worth a quick read through to see if anything there helps.

Good luck

Steve

Well Steve, I think I am going to give up. Ive tried everything. I know it works because Ive used it before I bought the M Audio Fast Track Pro. I recorded just using my audigy sound card. Then after I bought the Fast Track Pro I used it again and it worked fine. Today I actually got the recording level to move but there was no playback and Ive tried everything. It's killing me because it works fine with Audacity. About a month ago I used GT3 to record the solo to let it be. I played one track rythm and one track lead and it really sounded great. Then I never used it again until recently and then when it's not the same anymore. I was going to uninstall and reinstall it but I think I may have tried that a few days ago :) It's just very frustrating. I probably will keep trying. Thanks again.

Tom
