Setting up your system

Using the built-in audio hardware of the

Macintosh

As of this writing, all current Macintosh models provide at

least built-in 16 bit stereo audio hardware. For detailed in-

formation, refer to the documentation describing your com-

puter.

Depending on your preferences and requirements, using

the built-in audio hardware may be sufficient for use with

Sequel. It is always available for selection in Sequel – you

don’t need to install any additional drivers.

About drivers

A driver is a piece of software that allows a program to

communicate with a certain piece of hardware. In this

case, the driver allows Sequel to use the audio hardware.

For audio hardware, there are different cases, requiring

different driver configurations:

If the audio hardware has a specific ASIO driver

Professional audio cards often come with an ASIO driver

written especially for the card. This allows for communica-

tion directly between Sequel and the audio card. As a re-

sult, audio cards with specific ASIO drivers can provide

lower latency (input-output delay), which is crucial when

monitoring audio via Sequel, for example. The ASIO driver

may also provide special support for multiple inputs and

outputs, routing, synchronization, etc.

Audio card-specific ASIO drivers are provided by the card

manufacturers. Make sure to check the manufacturer’s

web site for the latest driver versions.

If the audio card communicates via DirectX (Windows

only)

DirectX is a Microsoft “package” for handling various

types of multimedia data under Windows. Sequel sup-

ports DirectX, or to be more precise, DirectSound, which

is a part of DirectX used for playing back and recording

audio. This requires two types of drivers:

• A DirectX driver for the audio card, allowing it to communicate

with DirectX. If the audio card supports DirectX, this driver

should be supplied by the audio card manufacturer. If it isn’t

installed with the audio card, please check the manufacturer’s

web site for more information.

• The ASIO DirectX Full Duplex driver, allowing Sequel to com-

municate with DirectX. This driver is included with Sequel, and

does not require any special installation.

Installing the audio hardware and its driver

1. Install the audio card and related equipment in the

computer, as described in the card’s documentation.

2. Install the driver for the card.

Depending on the operating system of your computer, there are different

types of drivers that could apply: card-specific ASIO drivers, DirectX

drivers (Windows) or Mac OS X (Mac) drivers:

Specific ASIO driver

If your audio card has a specific ASIO driver, it may be in-

cluded with the audio card, but you should always make

sure to check the audio card manufacturer’s web site for

the most recent drivers. For details on how to install the

driver, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

DirectX driver (Windows only)

If your audio card is DirectX compatible, its DirectX drivers

will most likely be installed when you install the card. If you

have downloaded special DirectX drivers for the audio

card, you should follow the manufacturer’s installation in-

structions.

Mac OS X drivers (Mac)

If you are using a Macintosh computer, make sure you are

using the latest Mac OS X drivers for your audio hardware.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the driver.

Testing the card

To make sure the audio card will work as expected, perform

the following two tests:

• Use any software included with the audio card to make

sure you can record and play back audio without problems.

• If the card is accessed via a standard operating system

driver, try playing back audio using the computer’s standard

audio application (e.g. Windows Media Player or Apple

iTunes).

Some Macintosh models have audio outputs but no

inputs. This means that you can only play back audio

– recording is not possible without additional audio

hardware.

If your audio hardware comes with a specific ASIO

driver we strongly recommend that you use this.
