Macintosh

Install the driver from the .dmg file.

Wait to turn on/attach your MultiMix USB2.0 mixer to your Mac until after the Mac has fully booted. If you do not do so, your computer may not recognize the device.

You must select the “Alesis USB Audio Device” via your Mac’s “Audio MIDI Setup” utility in order for your computer to route the MultiMix USB2.0’s signals into and out of your computer applications properly.

These drivers include the two most popular standards for audio interfacing—WDM (the “Windows Driver Model” built by Microsoft) and ASIO (the “Audio Stream Input/Output” standard used by many audio software applications).

Mac OS X 10.4 or higher is required by the MultiMix drivers.

All digital audio carried over the USB2.0 connection is 24- bit PCM data.
