Very funny.
I've tried. Believe me.
Let me introduce myself. I run a high-end video post production facility, and i write (custom) software for the audio/visual/film industry.
It's not that i don't know what could happen, its just that i cannot understand that anyone is putting out a piece of crap this unit is.
M-audio is Avid. I have used Avid products over more than a decade, and i've never seen something as bad as this.
My guess was that i've overlooked something, but the more i dive into it, the more i'm convinced that this is either bad desing or bad manufacturing.
Going to a VAR wednesday to get a decent piece of gear.
(what i'm doing is making a software based BWF recorder with LTC out, and i liked the front knobs of the Fasttrack, so i bought one.)
