Digidesign CoreAudio Driver
The Digidesign CoreAudio Driver is a multi-cli-
ent, multichannel sound driver that allows
CoreAudio-compatible applications to record
and play back through Digidesign hardware.
The CoreAudio Driver is installed by default
when you install Pro Tools.
Standalone CoreAudio Driver
The Digidesign CoreAudio Driver can be in-
stalled as a standalone driver on Mac systems
that do not have Pro Tools software installed.
The standalone version can be installed using
the Pro Tools installer or downloaded from the
Digidesign website (www.digidesign.com).
To install the Standalone CoreAudio Driver from
the Pro Tools Installer disc:
1 Make sure you are logged in as an Administra-
tor for the account where you want to install
Pro Tools. For details on Administrator privi-
leges in Mac OS X, see your Apple Mac OS X
documentation.
2 Insert the Pro Tools LE Installer disc in your
DVD drive.
3 On the Installer disc, locate and double-click
“Install Pro Tools LE.”
4 Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed
with installation.
5 Select the install location. For maximum reli-
ability, install Pro Tools on your startup drive.
6 Click Continue.
7 Select the CoreAudio Driver and deselect the
Pro Tools application and other options.
8 Click Install.
9 If prompted, enter your Administrator pass-
word and click OK to authenticate installation.
10 Follow the remaining on-screen instructions.
11 When installation is complete, click Restart.
Pro Tools Demo Session
The Pro Tools Installer disc includes a separate
demo session installer. You can use this session
to verify that your system is working.
To install the demo session:
1 Insert the Pro Tools LE Installer disc in your
DVD drive. Locate and double-click the demo
session installer icon.
2 Select your audio drive as the install location
and click Install.
3 When installation is complete, click Quit.
The Digidesign CoreAudio Driver is
multi-client with third party applications
only. It cannot be used with other applica-
tions when Pro Tools is launched with 003
or 003 Rack.
For information on configuring the Digide-
sign CoreAudio Driver, see the Digidesign
CoreAudio Guide.
If Pro Tools was uninstalled, CoreAudio
Driver was automatically uninstalled at
that time.
For information on configuring the standa-
lone version of the Digidesign CoreAudio
Driver, see the CoreAudio Drivers Guide.
