*If you have other USB audio devices
connected to your computer, which may
have identical names, you may need to try
selecting each one until the MultiMix 4 USB
FX is recognized.
If you experience too much latency after
adjusting your software latency settings, we
recommend the free ASIO4ALL (Audio
Stream Input/Output) driver for PC at
asio4all.com. ASIO drivers generally
perform better and with lower latency since
they create a more efficient communication
between audio devices and software.
Be sure your audio software program is set
up to receive audio via the MultiMix 4 USB
FX. This can usually be done in your
software's "Preferences" or "Device Setup."
Please consult your software manual for
more information.
