Installing Software Drivers and Control Panel ApplicationNote: Do not connect the USBPre to a computer without first installing the USBPre drivers and control software. The included driver software for the USBPre allows you to set up either a Preferred Installation or an ASIO Installation. For most users the Preferred Installation is advised. With it the USBPre will act as the audio hardware for all wave compatible software applications, including Windows system sounds, DVD players, and most audio recording and playback software. By selecting the ASIO Installation, the USBPre installs only ASIO driver software. ASIO drivers are a low-level connection to ASIO-compatible audio applications. With ASIO a more direct connection between recording software and the USBPre is obtained, greatly improving latency - beneficial in multi-track music production. Windows software applications such as Cubase, Logic, and n-Tracks support hardware through the ASIO drivers. ASIO DRIVERS ONLY WORK WITH ASIO-COMPATIBLE AUDIO SOFTWARE. The USBPre will have no functionality with audio applications and system applications that do not specifically support ASIO. If you are not certain that you require ASIO drivers, install using the Preferred Installation. You can only have one set of drivers installed on the computer at a time. To switch between ASIO and Wave audio requires uninstalling and reinstalling the driver software. Preferred Installation Windows Wave Drivers
ASIO Installation for Windows (ASIO-Compatible Applications Only)
Installing HardwareOnce the USBPre application has been installed, follow the instructions below to complete the USBPre hardware installation. These steps will only need to be performed once.

The USBPre is now installed, subsequent installation procedures are not necessary and the USBPre can plugged and unplugged when needed. USBPre General Audio Set Up for PC1.
