Note: The speed of your processor, amount of RAM, and capacity, size, and speed of your
hard drives will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. A faster
processor and more RAM can reduce signal latency (delay) and improve overall
performance.
The Universal Control installer for Windows is available for download
from your My PreSonus user account. This installation includes the ASIO
and WDM drivers for the AudioBox USB96. To begin, you must first visit
http://my.presonus.com, create or log into your user account, and register your
AudioBox USB96. Once registered, all software downloads will be available
from within your My PreSonus user account. Please review the Quick Start
Guide that came with your AudioBox USB96 for complete instructions.
Download and launch the Universal Control installer on the computer to
which you'd like to connect your AudioBox USB96. The installer application will
instruct you through each step of the installation process as it installs both the
ASIO and WDM drivers as well as Universal Control. Please read each message
carefully so that you do not connect your AudioBox USB96 too soon.
Power User Tip: It is recommended that you temporarily disable or turn off any anti-virus
programs you have running to prevent installation issues.
Sample Rate. Changes the sample rate.
You can set the sample rate to 44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96 kHz. A higher sample
rate will increase the fidelity of the recording but will increase the file size
and the amount of system resources necessary to process the audio.
Safe Mode. Adjusts the Input Buffer Size.
These modes allow you to adjust the input buffer size to optimize
performance for your computer. When adjusting the safe mode, the block
size will be adjusted automatically to provide the best performance.
