Thank you for choosing the OmniStudio USB from M-Audio. We’ve
designed the OmniStudio USB to be a complete, versatile multi-channel
recording and playback solution for your PC- or Mac-based Digital Audio
Workstation (DAW). The OmniStudio USB gives you up to four inputs and
four outputs of 16- or 24-bit audio at sampling rates up to 96kHz, using
the plug-and-play convenience of your computer’s USB port..
This Quick Start Guide is designed to give you a basic overview of
installing and setting up the OmniStudio USB, to get you up and running
quickly. Even if you are an experienced computer user and recordist, we
suggest you take the time to read the accompanying Users’ Manual. It
will help you get the most out of your OmniStudio USB.
NOTE: Do NOT connect the OmniStudio USB to your computer until you
have run the installer program.
Begin by inserting the M-Audio driver CD-ROM into your computer and
browsing to the OmniStudio USB folder. Inside this folder you will find the
installer file for your particular operating system. Running the installer
application will copy the necessary system files to your computer’s hard drive.
Once you’ve completed the installation, you will be prompted to restart
your computer. After you have restarted, connect the OmniStudio USB to
your computer’s USB port. Your computer will recognize the new device
