Session KeyStudio 25 User Guide
2. Install the Session Music Creation Software.
1. Insert the M-Audio Session DVD-ROM into your computer’s DVD-ROM drive.
2. The computer will automatically display the install screen. If your computer fails to launch the installer, manually start it by
clicking on Start > My Computer* and then double-clicking Session.
3. Follow the software installer’s on-screen instructions.
NOTE: Session comes with a large library of loops and instrument samples for music creation, known as
Session Content. During the installation process, you will be asked if you would like to install the Session
Content on your hard drive. If you do not have 4 GB of disk space available, you may choose not to install
the Session Content, but you will then have to place the Session DVD in your DVD-ROM drive whenever you
run Session. Accessing Session’s content via DVD-ROM results in slightly slower computer performance. If
the required hard drive space is available, installing the Session Content on your computer’s hard drive is
recommended.
Please be aware that your Session software’s Factory Content Library may take as long as 30 minutes to
install. This behavior is normal. During the installation process, the installer displays helpful Session tutorial
information.
4. Click “Finish” once the installer has completed the installation.
*If you are using Windows Vista, “My Computer” will be labeled “Computer” in this step.
