System Requirements

Here are some of the computer requirements in order to use the mixer with a computer and to run the Tracktion software.

PC Requirements

• WINDOWS XP

• Intel Pentium 3 or 4, or AMD Athlon (750 MHz or

better is recommended for Tracktion).

• At least 128 MB RAM; 256 MB is recommended for

heavy-duty Tracktion work.

• Super VGA (1024 x 768) or higher-resolution video

adapter and monitor.

• CD-ROM or DVD drive.

• Keyboard and Wheel Mouse or compatible

pointing device.

• USB port

Macintosh Requirements

• Macintosh OS 10.3

• Power Mac G3, or G4, iMac, eMac, Powerbook G3

or G4, or iBook computer with 128 MB of physical RAM. (The original early PowerBook G3 upgrade cards are not supported by OS X).

Hard Drive Notes

• To record a one minute 24-bit/44.1 kHz mono track

requires approximately 8 MB of hard drive space.

• Preferably, use a second drive for recording audio,

not your main drive with the operating system.

• It is best if you can start with a freshly de-

fragmented drive before recording.

• Backup your les and de-fragment your drive

often.

• Did we mention backing up your les often?

• We do not want you to be sitting back relaxing in

the pub after a long day's recording session of your nest work, when all along there is a doubt in the back of your mind about having backed up your les.
