Digidesign CoreAudio Driver
The Digidesign CoreAudio Driver is a multi-cli-
ent, multichannel sound driver that allows
CoreAudio-compatible applications to record
and play back through Digidesign hardware.
The Digidesign CoreAudio Driver is
multi-client with third party applications
only. It cannot be used with other applica-
tions when Pro Tools is launched with 003
or 003 Rack.
The CoreAudio Driver is installed by default
when you install Pro Tools.
For information on configuring the Digide-
sign CoreAudio Driver, see the Digidesign
CoreAudio Guide.
Standalone CoreAudio Driver
The Digidesign CoreAudio Driver can be in-
stalled as a standalone driver on Mac systems
that do not have Pro Tools software installed.
If Pro Tools was uninstalled, CoreAudio
Driver was automatically uninstalled at
that time.
The standalone version can be installed using
the Pro Tools installer or downloaded from the
Digidesign website (www.digidesign.com).
For information on configuring the standa-
lone version of the Digidesign CoreAudio
Driver, see the CoreAudio Drivers Guide.
