Howto 24 bit M-Audio Fast Track Pro in Debian Linux with RT-Preemtible Kernel


For Kernels +3.x

LOG:

UPDATE MAY 25, 2012 was on the fast-track-pro.conf file for better understanding of different modes.

UPDATE JUNE 16, 2012 changed kernel configuration in section "PROCESSOR TYPE AND FEATURES" Tickless System (Dynamic Ticks) to enabled, I wasn't thinking right, sorry for that one.

PART I - INTRODUCTION


The Fast Track Pro by M-Audio is a really nice USB Audio interface, although small, it can perform well in a professional environment. I was given one of these a while back by one of my best web design clients and good friend.

The basic specs on this device are:
  • 24-bit/96kHz audio interface with dual mic/instrument preamps
  • Balanced/unbalanced analog I/O
  • S/PDIF coaxial; MIDI I/O
  • ¼” headphone output with level control and A/B source switch
