2 Before you begin
We recommend that you read through the entire manual to acquire an overview of the
installation procedure and use of the LT-FW. This manual will presume a working
knowledge of the Aurora converter. For additional information, please refer to the Aurora
User Manual.
It is also highly recommended that you have a good working knowledge of Windows and/or
Macintosh operating system basics and an understanding of computer hardware basics. This
information is widely available on the web and from various computer hardware and
software manufacturers.
We also strongly recommend you familiarize yourself with the basics of digital audio and
computer recording, and particularly with the basic functionality of your chosen audio
software. A solid grasp of the operational fundamentals of your Digital Audio Workstation
software and its user interface will go a long way toward enhancing your experience with the
LT-FW.
