I use the Fast Track Pro ("the box") simply as a high sample rate D/A converter and pre-amp between my Macbook running OS X 10.4.11 and the M-Audio 1.7-2v2 driver, and my (fabulous) Mackie mixer feeding a pair of (fabulous) Mackie 500W powered speakers. (Note: a new driver update v1.8 is available.) In this application the sound quality is superb, which is why I use it and not a cheaper USB or Firewire interface or the native Macbook sound card (which sounds pretty good as laptop sound cards go).
Even in this simple application, I have found the box to be finicky, and on three occasions in three years I have had to power down the box, reboot my Macbook, then reboot the box and get everything working again (in the middle of a gig!). Things that crashed the Macbook while running the box were as simple as switching back and forth between iTunes and other applications, or the sound engineer doing something on his board that somehow got back into my rig and crashed the Macbook (!).
If you use the box as a glorified sound card like I do, the sound is superb and performance stable enough if you run nothing but the box driver and iTunes, and you dont mess with the PA equipment while youre DJing.
BTW, dont even think of connecting your unpowered dynamic mic to the box to mix in a voiceover; the channel input gain knob is highly non-linear and swings from inaudible to clipped (there is something wrong with the internal impedance matching between the input channels). Some DJs report better results using a condenser mic powered by the box's 48 V phantom power, but what do DJs know ;-) I much prefer mixing in my voiceover using the mic channel on the Mackie mixer.

We gave this to our 16-year-old son for Christmas, and he and his older brother have enjoyed exploring the possibilities of this pro-like device. It set up with GarageBand on our Macs easily, and has opened up new worlds of recording ideas - vocal and instrumental. I can't compare it to other interfaces, having no other experience, but it seems to me a high quality product.

Yeah, real nice M-Audio, every time OSX goes to sleep or the lid is closed I have to unplug and re-plug in the USB cable or re-power unit. KA-POP!!!! My speakers groan. They hate you. Latest OSX installed, latest Fast Track Pro Driver. Other than that all is well.

This thing outputs a horrible hi pitched buzzing noises for me whenever my cpu is under heavy use. Tech support gave me beta drivers that blue screened my machine. Taking it back.

It's a good product.
I just think that there are some... kind of errors in the communication.
1.- In any place say that after installation you must left the device on. If you turn on the computer with the FTP off, the audio devices doesn't work. I spent a whole day trying to make the audio work and only the next day - 'cause i forgot to turn FTP off - I had all the resources working.
2.- The Pro Tools M-Powered 7 Demo it's a f****** trick. Why they didn't say that saving and exporting were deactivated? I could avoid install that useless deception.
Live Lite, even it's almost a demo too, didn't have those paranoid attitude.
