We hope STUDI/O enables you to spend more time on creativity and less time messing around with your computer. Thanks to PCI Plug'n'Play, installation of STUDI/O is pretty straightforward. There are no jumpers or anything to mess with! HARDWARE INSTALLATION The installation for Mac and PC is the same. [. . . ] For example, if you are using a multichannel audio editor via a bunch of stereo drivers, Windows may have difficulty starting all the channels at exactly the same time. Note: Since STUDI/O runs all the channels off the same sample clock, interchannel drift is a thing of the past! 17 STUDI/O WINDOWS -- ERRORS What Windows program would be complete without a wide array of error messages??Seriously, though, here is a listing of all error codes generated by our software, with explanations and remedies.
