Connections And Driver Installation (Macintosh); What Is A Driver - Edirol UA-3 Getting Started

Connections and driver installation (Macintosh)

* If you are a Windows user, refer to p. 15.
When you start up your computer with the UA-3D connected, the computer may
become unstable. If this occurs, start up your computer before connecting the UA-
3D, and connect the UA-3D after start-up.
Before installing the driver
In order to use the UA-3D, you must first install a driver. UA-3D uses a driver
included with Mac OS. You do not need to use the CD-ROM that is included with
the UA-3D.

What is a driver?

A driver is software that allows an application program running on your computer
to transfer data to and from the UA-3D when it is connected to your computer via
a USB cable.
The driver passes data from the application to the UA-3D, and passes data from the
UA-3D to the application.

Installing the Driver
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn
down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before disconnecting the
USB cable. It is not necessary to turn off the power of your computer. Use a USB
cable to connect the UA-3D to your computer before turning on the power of your
audio equipment.
