Chapter 3: Installing Pro Tools LE on Windows 15
Additional Software on the 
Pro Tools Installer Disc
The Pro Tools Installer disc provides additional 
software for your system, including audio driv-
ers (for playing other audio applications 
through your Digidesign hardware) and a 
Pro Tools demo session.
Third-Party Applications and 
Plug-ins
Your Pro Tools package also includes several free 
applications and plug-ins from selected Digi-
design Third Party developers. Once you've 
completed your Pro Tools installation, you can 
install these separately. Go to the Additional 
Files\3rd Party Content folder on the 
Pro Tools LE Installer disc.
003 Factory Bundle Plug-ins
If you purchased a Factory version of the 003 
family system, the installers for your Factory 
Bundle are located on your Pro Tools Installer 
disc in the \Additional Files\Factory Bundle In-
stallers folder.
Windows Audio Drivers
The Digidesign ASIO Driver and WaveDriver 
Windows System Audio Driver let you use your 
003 family interface with third-party applica-
tions that support the ASIO Driver or 
WaveDriver MME (Multimedia Extension).
The Digidesign ASIO Driver and WaveDriver for 
003 family interfaces are automatically installed 
when you install Pro Tools.
Digidesign ASIO Driver
The Digidesign ASIO (Audio Sound Input Out-
put) Driver is a single-client multichannel 
sound driver that allows third-party audio pro-
grams that support the ASIO standard to record 
and play back through Digidesign hardware.
Digidesign WaveDriver
(Windows XP Only)
The Digidesign WaveDriver Windows System 
Audio Driver is a single-client, stereo sound 
driver that allows third-party audio programs 
that support the WaveDriver MME (Multimedia 
Extension) standard to play back through 
Digidesign hardware.
Standalone Windows Audio Drivers
Digidesign Windows Audio Drivers can be in-
stalled on Windows systems that do not have 
Pro Tools software installed. Use the standalone 
version of the Digidesign Windows Audio Driv-
ers installer (Digidesign Audio Drivers 
Setup.exe), which is available on the 
Pro Tools LE Installer disc.
Refer to your Pro Tools Installer disc for ad-
ditional software and installers.
