Computer System Requirements
Windows - OS: Microsoft Windows XP (32-bit & 64-bit) and Windows Vista (32-bit & 64-bit)
- CPU/Clock: or Athlon 900MHz (1.5 GHz or higher recommended)
- Memory(RAM): 1 GB (more recommended)
Macintosh
- OS: MacOS X 10.4.x or later (10.5 supported with driver update)
- CPU/Clock: PowerPC G4/Dual 1 GHZ or faster, all Intel-based Mac models.
- Memory(RAM): 1 GB (more recommended)
Windows and Macintosh Systems
- IEEE 1394 FireWire 400 Port
- Internet connection
- DVD-ROM drive
- Internal or external 7200RPM storage drive is highly recommended
Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) that you might experience while monitoring audio or MIDI signals.
Monitor resolution for both PC and Macintosh should be no lower than 1024x768 pixels.

Computer System Requirements
Windows
- OS: Microsoft Windows XP (32-bit & 64-bit) and Windows Vista (32-bit & 64-bit)
- CPU/Clock: or Athlon 900MHz (1.5 GHz or higher recommended)
- Memory(RAM): 1 GB (more recommended)
Macintosh
- OS: MacOS X 10.3.5 or later
- CPU/Clock: PowerPC G4/Dual 1 GHZ or faster, all Intel-based Mac models.
- Memory(RAM): 1 GB (more recommended)
Windows and Macintosh Systems
- IEEE 1394 FireWire 400 Port
- Internet connection
- DVD-ROM drive
- Internal or external 7200RPM storage drive is highly recommended
Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) that you might experience while monitoring audio or MIDI signals. Monitor resolution for both PC and Macintosh should be no lower than 1024x768 pixels.
