Installing GrooveLab Transit
On Windows systems, the GrooveLab Transit is capable of p p l l u u g g - - a a n n d d - - p p l l a a y y installation, which
means that you can simply connect it to your computer using the supplied USB cable, so that
your system will detect the GrooveLab Transit as a "USB Audio Device," and you can start using
it right away. However, we recommend that you use the supplied driver, which will give you the
additional functionality of a device control panel, low-latency ASIO drivers and audio resolution
up to 24-bit/96kHz (explained below).
Windows Note: In this quick start, we'll install the GrooveLab Transit's driver, rather than
just using plug-and-play installation, so do not connect the GrooveLab Transit to your
Our ASIO driver allows faster response (lower latency) than standard audio drivers, so this, in
computer until after you have installed the driver software.

GrooveLab Transit instead of a standard soundcard or laptop audio port.
Begin by installing the GrooveLab Transit drivers to your Windows or Macintosh computer. Insert the
GrooveLab Transit drivers/Grooves CD-ROM and run the GrooveLab Transit installation programs.
