Installing the optional applications 
 
The software DVD that comes with the MultiMix USB2.0 contains 
not only the drivers (the small computer programs that work behind 
the scenes so that your MultiMix works properly with your 
computer) but also some powerful music applications.   
 
If  you don’t already have a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) 
program, definitely install one from the DVD.  It’s a fantastic way 
to get started in computer-based recording.  You may find that it’s 
the only program you need. 
 
The demo applications give you a taste of  some of  the premier 
computer-based music programs on the market today.  We 
encourage you to install and explore them. 
 
 
 
Power-on/Power off order 
 
A few computers are sensitive to the order in which they and the 
MultiMix USB2.0 are powered on.  If  you find that the MultiMix 
USB2.0 does not consistently make a connection to your computer 
when you turn them both on, experiment to find out whether 
turning one on before the other—and one off  before the other—
makes a positive difference.
