Ok, so for some audio interfaces I see the driver support for OS X but the bundled software to configure the unit looks to be for OS 9. A perfect example would be the Echo Layla 24. Do I not need the software and can just configure everything through Core Audio?

The last sentence should read "Do I need the software OR can I just configure everything through Core Audio?"
Come on, someone has gotta know. |

Monads, I think it pretty much depends on the device. Some of them *need* drivers for OS X, others don't. The only real place to get a definitive answer to your question is from the manufacturer, unless somebody here just happens to have the same hardware interface and setup that you have.
Who is handling Layla now, and what do they say? |

You know I haven't made any attempts to contact the manufacture, Echo. Maybe I should drop them an email. Thanks for the reply.

Basically every piece of peripheral in a computer needs a driver.
This is most obvious for external devices such as, scanners printers, modems audiointerfaces, well scsi-cards etc. Wether these drivers comes as part of the operating system software or delivered as separate installers, is another thing entirerely. Example: The generic apple postscript printer driver built into Mac OS X will allow you to print a simple text dokument with a picture in it to the Cannon GPL 550-605 digital copier, over a network. To get your work sorted, stapled, punched and with a special cover pages you NEED the special driver from Cannon. ( b.t.w it doesnt exist ). To summarize: Every equipment ( almost ) needs a driver, Drivers can be included in the operating system or installed separately Drivers can be generic or specialized Specialized drivers are mostly for added funtionality, somtimes for added speed.

I really want a Mona card from Echo,
I use Reason as my main instrument. I called Echo today to ask them if their new driver for OSX 10,2 was working with Reason 2.0.1 ... cause on the driver download page said it has a conflict with 2.0 The guy just blatantly repeated the web page info... he could not tell me if it was going to work (eventually) or if Reason was now ok (2.0.1) Drivers are a mysterious thing Ce message a été modifié par sasquatch7 - jeu. 5 juin 2003, 04:25. |
