Layla24 Installation
Complete Layla24 installation consists of performing a system check,
installing ASIO based multitrack recording software, installing the Layla24
PCI card, connecting the rack-mount audio interface to the card, installing
the Layla24 Macintosh drivers into your system, and manually installing the
ASIO driver to your multitrack audio recording/editing application(s).
Checking your Macintosh
1. Do you have enough memory?
With your mouse select
Apple – About
This Computer
. Look at the amount of
Built-in Memory
you have. You
will need at least 128Mb to use Layla24 properly with your ASIO based
software. It is highly recommended that you have more.
2. Is your processor fast enough?
If you have a G3 or G4 then you can
skip to step three. If you have an older Macintosh, select
Apple System
Profiler
from the
Apple
menu. Under the
System Profile
tab, look at the
section entitled
Hardware overview
and see what kind of processor you
have. If it’s a PowerPC 604 or higher, then you can use Layla24.
3. Do you have an open PCI slot?
Make sure that you have an open PCI
slot in your Mac. If you don’t know offhand, you will have to open up
the Mac and look. Make sure you shut down the Mac and unplug the
power cable before you open it. If you see an open PCI slot, then you’re
OK.
Please Note:
Layla24 may not work properly if you have a processor
upgrade card installed.
If your system checks out OK, it’s time to move on to the next phase of
installation.
