#1 Reason Why I will Never By Avid Again
Like many of you, my Fast Track Pro has been defunct since I upgraded to Mavericks. I fully comprehend that is my fault. Then Avid, who absconded the FTP from M-Audio, provides a driver that doesn't work regardless of application or use. There's no audio period. So, I call the good folks at Sweetwater support and after about two weeks, I get the following reply:

Re: #1 Reason Why I will Never By Avid Again
Hey, that's how all of Digidesign/Avid's hardware used to be until just the last couple of years. The Original MBoxes and Digi 001s still won't work outside of of Protools 7.x or under. Perfectly good audio interfaces, have become door stops.

Yes, that's exactly why I purchased M-Audio instead of an MBOX. But now, the M-Audio might a well be an MBOX..

Re: #1 Reason Why I will Never By Avid Again
Strangely enough, after several installs of various drivers (1.8.1, 1.9.1, .1.9.2, 1.9.3, 1.9.4), I installed / uninstalled 1.8.1 again Sunday night, did the same with 1.9.4, and ran the installer for 1.9.4 again Monday morning and voila, the FTP is now working as a class compliant device... I had literally tried any and every suggestion on the internet regarding this...
Used it in our worship service tonight with no issues... go figure...

Cache rotation finally caught up.
Mavericks upgrade over 10.8x?
