Additional Software on the
Pro Tools Installer Disc
The Pro Tools Installer disc provides additional software
for your system, including audio drivers (for playing
other audio applications through your Digidesign hard-
ware) and a Pro Tools demo session.
Check your Pro Tools Installer disc for addi-
tional software and installers.
CoreAudio Driver
The CoreAudio Driver is a multi-client, multichannel
sound driver that allows CoreAudio-compatible applica-
tions to record and play back through Digidesign hard-
ware.
Mbox 2 Micro provides no external input; it is
an output only device. Consequently, you can-
not record an external source with the Mbox 2
Micro.
The CoreAudio Driver is installed by default when you
install Pro Tools.
For information on configuring the CoreAudio
Driver, see the CoreAudio Drivers Guide.
Standalone CoreAudio Driver
The CoreAudio Driver can be installed as a standalone
driver on Mac systems that do not have Pro Tools soft-
ware installed. The standalone version of this driver is
available on the Pro Tools Installer disc (in the Addi-
tional Files Folder).
For information on installing and configuring
the standalone version of the CoreAudio Driver,
see the CoreAudio Drivers Guide.
