Mic "suddenly" stopped working
I'm using PT10 with M-Audio Fast Track Pro on a Windows 7 computer. My mic is an EV RE20, about a month old.
Today I recorded several tracks and everything was going pretty well except for some static. I looked up static here and found a post where a guy used compressed air to clean all the connections on his Fast Track Pro, so I did that, and ever since I have no mic through either channel. Was that the cause, or is it just a coincidence and I'm not seeing what's really going on? Thanks in advance. |

Static and distortion is about all I get from my Fast Track Pro in PT9. I think M-Audio needs to deliver a better driver(it works fine in MP8).

Check that you don't have phantom power (48v) applied.
RE20 is one of the only dynamic mics that seems to go screwy when you feed it phantom. |
Re: Mic "suddenly" stopped working
Phantom power is off.
In Pro Tools it doesn't even allow me to choose Input 1 or Input 2. Is that an indicator that the Fast Track Pro is malfunctioning? I've tried my mic in both channels and it doesn't make any difference, I'm not able to access it. Thanks for helping . . . I'm so new at this and frustrated like you can't imagine. |

Check under the Hardware menu to see that the Fast Track is the selected audio engine.

Try "Defaulting" the I/O setup in Pro Tools.
