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 website’s knowledge base, manuals, support, and registration pages.
