Macintosh
Install the driver from the .dmg file.
Wait to turn on/attach your MultiMix USB2.0 mixer to your
Mac until after the Mac has fully booted. If you do not do so,
your computer may not recognize the device.
You must select the “Alesis USB Audio Device” via your Mac’s
“Audio MIDI Setup” utility in order for your computer to route
the MultiMix USB2.0’s signals into and out of your computer
applications properly.
All digital audio carried over
the USB2.0 connection is 24-
bit PCM data.
These drivers include the two
most popular standards for
audio interfacing—WDM (the
“Windows Driver Model”
built by Microsoft) and ASIO
(the “Audio Stream
Input/Output” standard used
by many audio software
applications).
Mac OS X 10.4 or higher is
required by the MultiMix
drivers.
Important: download the drivers from http://www.alesis.com onto a folder
on your desktop or insert the software DVD into your computer’s DVD
drive BEFORE you plug your MultiMix into your computer for the first
time.
