Setting up the Audio Hardware
In case this wasn’t done in the Setup Wizard, you need to establish a connection between Reason and the
audio hardware. This is done by selecting a driver - a software component that acts like a link between the
program and the audio hardware. Proceed as follows:
1. In the Preferences dialog, use the pop-up menu at the top to select the Audio page.
2. Pull down the Audio Card Driver pop-up menu and select one of the options.
Which option to select depends on the platform and the audio hardware. If an option is not applicable
to your setup it will be greyed out in the dialog.
Mac OS X
!
Under Mac OS X it’s required that the audio hardware supports Core Audio drivers.
D Select the option that corresponds to the hardware you want to use (the built-in audio
connectors or some additional audio hardware that you have installed).
q If you are using Mac OS X 10.5 or later, a number of predefined combinations of built-in
inputs and outputs are also available in the Audio Card Driver pop-up.
The number of available input(s)+output(s) combinations depends of your computer’s specific config-
uration.
