Latency Tab

The Latency Page allows you to adjust the Fast Track USBs buffer size in order to achieve the optimal balance between system stability and audio latency.
Latency is a measure of the delay between the time you make a sound and the time the computer records (or monitors) that sound. Here, the unit for latency is the number of samples the driver collects before sending them to an application as input. Lower latency can make recording easier and more accurate but not all computer systems can operate at the lowest latencies without introducing noise. If you experience unwanted input noise, increase latency. To increase latency, move the control panels latency slider up, and to decrease latency, move it down. The default Latency setting is 256. 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. Fast Track USB and Windows Media Drivers

The Software Control Panel
In Windows XP and Vista, double-click the red M-Audio icon in the system tray to access the Fast Track USB Control Panel. To access this Control Panel on a Mac, click the Apple icon, and open System Preferences. In the "Other" section, you will find the M-Audio Fast Track USB icon that you can click on to open the Fast Track USB Control Panel. The control panel is only available if the optional drivers have been installed on your Mac and will not appear when using the device via the Operating System's built-in class-compliant drivers. The Fast Track USB Control Panel is divided into separate pages, each accessible by clicking on the corresponding tab. The Control Panel shows details about the installed driver version, lets you select the Sample Bit Depth (Mac OS X only), and in Windows, you can adjust the audio buffer size (latency).

About Tab

This tab will show you the current Control Panel, driver and firmware versions, and allow you to connect to the M-Audio website for updates. The Fast Track USB Control Panel also provides helpful links to the M-Audio websites knowledge base, manuals, support, and registration pages.
Latency Tab (Windows Only)
The Latency Page allows you to adjust the Fast Track USB buffer size in order to achieve optimal balance between system stability and audio latency. When recording to your computer, you will experience a short delay between the time you create a sound and the time you hear it in your headphones or monitors. This is due to the time it takes for your input signal to pass through your audio software and appear at the outputs, and is referred to as Latency. Using the slider on this page, you can control the amount of latency you experience by changing the buffer size. Smaller buffer sizes result in lower latency, but may not function well with slower systems. The default buffer size setting may adequately serve your purposes, but if you wish to, you can experiment with lower settings. If you experience stuttering or crackling in your audio playback, try using a larger buffer size.
Performance Tab (Mac OS X only)
This tab allows you to set the sample bit depth Fast Track USB uses for operation. The 16 Bit setting is equivalent to the dynamic capabilities found on audio CDs. The 24 Bit setting allows for higher dynamic resolution as commonly used in professional digital recording studios. In Windows XP and Vista, the sample bit depth is selected from within the recording application.
Getting Started Making Music with Session
NOTE: The Fast Track USB audio interface acts as an authorization key for the Session software. Session will not run unless Fast Track USB is connected and its drivers installed. 1. Turn down the Mic Input and Output knobs on the Fast Track USB and connect a microphone or instrument to the appropriate rear-panel input on the Fast Track USB. 2. Double-click the Session shortcut icon that was placed on your desktop during installation. If this icon does not appear, go to Start > All Programs > M-Audio > Session > Session to open the application. 3. Click the button labeled New in the Session Startup window.

4. New Composition dialog box will appear A enabling you to choose a Name, Time Signature, Key Root, Key Scale, and Tempo for your composition. After these choices have been made, click OK.
5. The What would you like to do? dialog box will now appear. For this example, select Sing and Record Vocals/ Instruments, and click OK.
6. The Session window will now appear.
7. Click the Track Properties button and select the Right or Left input depending on whether you are using the XLR Microphone jack (Left input), or the 1/4" Instrument Input (Right input). 8. Turn the Mic Input and Output knobs up to a reasonable level. 9. Click the Record button (located at the top of the Session window) and speak or sing into the microphone, or play your connected instrument. The sound you are recording will appear as a waveform in the Session window. When recording using a microphone, it is recommended that any connected speakers are muted, and monitoring is done through headphones. This prevents feedback which can be damaging to your speakers and harmful to your hearing. Enjoy your music making experience with Session. NOTE: To get the most out of your Session music creation software, please refer to the programs built-in manual under Help > Open User Manual, where you will find detailed instructions and 12 in-depth tutorials on using the Session software.
