We hope STUDI/O enables you to spend more time on creativity and less time messing around with your computer. Thanks to PCI Plug'n'Play, installation of STUDI/O is pretty straightforward. There are no jumpers or anything to mess with! HARDWARE INSTALLATION The installation for Mac and PC is the same. [. . . ] This might come in handy if your program won't allow you to remap or rearrange tracks on your screen. And, along with everything else in the control panel, these can be saved as a named setup. This way, you can customize the way you work. 16 STUDI/O SETUPS On the Setups tab you can save and recall your setups. If your have a couple of different ways of patching together your studio, you can quickly configure STUDI/O to reflect your repatching. All of the settings from the other tabs are saved in the setup, plus the fader levels in your monitor mixer, so it is a complete snapshot of your STUDI/O setup. Save As. . . Click on the Save As button to button to save a copy of the current set up. To change the description, use the Properties button. Delete The Delete button deletes the currently selected set up. Properties. . . Click on the Properties button to change the "description" that is displayed in the pull down window of the currently selected setup. Multichannel Audio Synchronization The Multichannel Audio Synchronization feature helps you deal with potential Windows problems. For example, if you are using a multichannel audio editor via a bunch of stereo drivers, Windows may have difficulty starting all the channels at exactly the same time. Note: Since STUDI/O runs all the channels off the same sample clock, interchannel drift is a thing of the past! 17 STUDI/O WINDOWS -- ERRORS What Windows program would be complete without a wide array of error messages??Seriously, though, here is a listing of all error codes generated by our software, with explanations and remedies.
