4.1 Installation of the AUDIO 8 DJ

To make use of the AUDIO 8 DJ, you need to install its driver first. The driver handles
communication between the AUDIO 8 DJ hardware and your computer.
The driver itself is not accessible in itself: like any other driver on your operating system,
it is a piece of software loaded in the background when your system starts up. The driver
takes care of all audio and MIDI signals coming from or going to the AUDIO 8 DJ hardware
through the USB2 connection.
Although the driver itself is inaccessible, you can edit some of its settings to modify its
behavior for your audio setup.
These settings can be edited. How to achieve this will be explained in detail in chapter 7
(AUDIO 8 DJ Software).
