96 Chapter B Audio and MIDI in Mac OS X
Please note that you can set an independent level for the alert beep. It is
recommended that you reduce this to the minimum level, or even deactivate alert
beeps entirely, when working on compositions.
Audio MIDI Setup (AMS)
Apple’s Audio MIDI Setup application is integrated into the operating system. It was
introduced in Mac OS X, version 10.2. The AMS application is found in the Applications
> Utilities menu.
Note: You may find it useful to move the AMS application into the Dock.
As AMS mirrors the parameters of the Sound preference pane (except for Sound Effects),
it should be used for almost all adjustments that you wish to make to your audio
interface settings.
The AMS application is useful for selecting a default setting for your Core Audio
hardware. You will require this “default” setting for all audio applications (iTunes, for
example) that are incapable of directly selecting a setting. For more capable audio
applications, such as Logic, it is possible to set all parameters from within the host itself.
Note: The appearance of the AMS application may vary, dependent on the version of
Mac OS X in use.
