Logic 8 / Fast Track Pro (aggregate device problem)

[nicholaswade82]

Hi guys...I really hope you can help with this one, here is my system...

Macbook 2.4 Dual Core, 4GB RAM, 160GB HD
Leopard 10.5.6
Logic Pro 8
M-Audio Fast Track Pro


My Fast Track Pro runs very smoothly as the sole audio device when recording and during playback. No problems whatsoever. However for my live setup, I require a click track, so I want more outputs than it offers. I therefore have to setup an aggregate device, consisting of Fast Track Pro (1-2, 3-4 for instruments) and the built in sound card (5-6 for click track).

This is where the problem starts. When selecting the aggregate device inside logic everything seems fine for a few seconds, then it crashes. I have to relaunch logic and try again.......once again it crashes! I cant seem to stabilise Logic long enough to work on my arrangement.

I have uninstalled the Fast Track Pro, reinstalled various drivers. Nothing works. It even crashes Garageband.

Im at the end of the line now, however I really dont want to buy another audio interface just to perform such a simple task. Can anybody help...?!?

I would really appreciate it 🙁

I asked about drivers directly on the forum on the m-audio web site. One of their support people said that their software people had "no schedule and no time table" and "check back later". Not a good sign.

I think the plan should be a work around rather then a fix. Question: Do the clicks really have to come from Logic?
