that support the CoreAudio (Mac) or ASIO (Win-
dows) standard with your Mbox Mini.
Configuring Mbox Mini for
Third-Party Applications
When using Mbox Mini with third-party appli-
cations (such as Apple GarageBand), you may be
able configure hardware settings through the
audio preference settings available in that appli-
cation.
You can also configure your hardware using the
Control Panel. See “Using the Driver Control
Panel” on page 15.
