• Turn up the volume on your speakers. The speakers need to

excite your room in order for ERGO to measure it accurately.

• Turn up the volume on ERGO. The volume control should

point to the word “Volume.” This is the 0 dB point for the

volume control.

This should not happen on Macs, since the Mac OS can

aggregate, or combine, multiple devices into a single interface.

Windows users have a couple of options:

• Windows systems can only have a single ASIO device.

Use your main ASIO device when tracking, and switch

to ERGO ASIO when mixing down.

• Take a SPDIF or analog out from your existing FireWire

interface and plug it into ERGO. In this mode, you can

unplug ERGO from its FireWire port and power up using the

external power adapter. ERGO's SPDIF Inputs and converters

are of the highest quality, so there will be no

degradation when using this approach. In fact, if your DAW

is “dialed in”, we suggest that you use this approach.

Also, this is the only approach to use for Pro Tools rigs.

• Use the WDM drivers. Windows can aggregate WDM

devices. Latency may increase when using WDM instead

of ASIO jacks (oops).

• ERGO needs Leopard (10.5.x) or later.

If you’re getting no sound:

• Make sure that your speakers are plugged into the

speaker jacks (oops).

If you’re getting sound out of your left speaker:

• Check to see that your connectors aren’t crossed and

plugged in the wrong jacks.

• In Focus mode, ERGO is correcting for time and frequency

domain problems. However, in Global mode, ERGO is

only fixing frequency domain problems. This makes sense,

considering that in Global mode ERGO’s processing

power is correcting a much larger area so is almost

impossible to correct both time and frequency issues in

this scenario.
