tions on. (You can turn the mLAN driver on and off using mLAN Manager.)
■Insufficient tracks for recording or playback
•Is the number of channels for mLAN audio receiving/sending (set on the mLAN Auto Connector and mLAN
Graphic Patchbay) appropriate?
............Refer to “Connecting a Computer to an mLAN device via mLAN” in the Installation
