Using Third-Party Applications
The Mbox hardware drivers allow you to use
third-party CoreAudio-(Mac) or ASIO-(Win-
dows) compliant audio and MIDI applications
with your Mbox.
Configuring Mbox for Third-
Party Applications
When using Mbox with third-party applications
(such as Apple GarageBand), you may be able to
configure hardware settings through the audio
preference settings available in that application.
You can also configure your hardware using the
Control Panel. See Chapter 4, “Using the Driver
Control Panel.”
Configuring the Apple Sound
Preferences
(Mac Only–Required for Using Qualified Pro
Tools Interface with Apple iTunes or QuickTime
Player)
To use your Avid Mbox–family hardware with
certain CoreAudio-compatible playback applica-
tions (such as Apple iTunes or QuickTime
Player), you need to configure either Sound Pref-
erences or Audio MIDI Setup.
To configure the Apple Sound Preferences:
1 Launch System Preferences (Apple menu >
System Preferences)
2 Click Sound.
3 Click Output and select your Pro Tools hard-
ware as the device for sound output.
4 Click Input and select your Pro Tools hardware
as the device for sound input.
5 Quit System Preferences.
For driver installation instructions, see
Chapter 3, “Installing and Connecting
Mbox.”
