3.   The driver installer will launch.

prompts. During Installation, 
Mac OS X will ask you to enter 
your user name and password.

you are not the computer’s owner, ask the owner or your Administrator for the 
missing information.

Connecting the Fast Track USB Audio Interface 

Fast Track USB is compatible with Windows and Macintosh class-compliant USB 
drivers, and will function as soon as it is connected to your computer. However, for 
the best low-latency performance in Windows, you will need to install the M-Audio 
drivers.
Once you have completed installing the Session software in Windows, connect the 
M-Audio Fast Track USB to an available USB port on your computer. Your computer 
will recognize the new hardware and Windows computers will briefly display a Found 
New Hardware message. You may be prompted with a message that the driver being 
installed has not passed Windows Logo Testing, or asked whether the program you 
wish to run is a trusted application. Click Continue Anyway or Install to proceed with 
the installation.
You may also see a Windows prompt asking if you would like to search the Internet 
for a driver. If so, click No and continue.

Mac users can simply connect the Fast Track USB interface and start using the 
device.

NOTE: 

In order to hear the audio signal produced by Fast Track USB, you must 

either:

 

1.   Connect the two RCA outputs (located on the Fast Track USB rear panel) to 

powered monitors, an amplifier, or a mixer. 

 

Or

 

2.  Connect headphones to the headphone output, located on the front panel.
