Hardware Installation; System Requirements - Audiotrak MAYA44 Manual

2. Hardware Installation

MAYA44 installation requires 3 steps: 'PCI card installation', 'Driver installation' and finally
'Connection to an external device'. 'The PCI card installation' step is placing the MAYA44 PCI card into
the PCI slot. 'Driver installation' is having the operating system in your computer recognize MAYA44
and building the communication channel. In the 'Connection to an external device' step, you will get to
understand how to connect MAYA44 to other devices such as a mic, amp, or a mixer and a recording
device such as an MD or DAT player.

1. System Requirements

To take advantage of MAYA44 and its full capacity, the computer specifications are very important. Even
though the MAYA44 is built in low CPU dependability, the computer needs to meet some requirements in
order to get maximum performance. MAYA44 is not just a simple sound card, but a multimedia digital
audio device with various functions. Therefore, the performance of the MAYA44 is affected by the
computer specs that are required to process the vast amount of digital data. A faster CPU, faster hard disk,
and larger amounts of RAM are recommended.
