2.1 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This installer and driver can be used for any interface in the FireStudio family line (FireStudio, FireStudio
Lightpipe, FireStudio Tube, FireStudio Project, FireStudio Mobile and StudioLive 16.4.2). For more
information on the Universal Control application and multiple interface integration, please review Sections 3.1
and 4.1.
2.1.1 Installation in Microsoft Windows
After you insert the installation CD into your CD or DVD drive, the FireStudio installer will take you through
each step of the installation process. Please read each message carefully, ensuring especially that you do not
connect your FireStudio until the installer has finished and you have rebooted your computer.
The FireStudio Installer was designed to be as simple and easy to follow as possible. Please read each
message carefully to ensure that the FireStudio driver is properly installed.
Before continuing the FireStudio Installation Setup, please close all applications and disconnect your
FireStudio from your computer. If you see any Windows Security alerts, click “Install this driver software
anyway” (Vista) or “Continue anyway” (XP).
At the end of the installation, you will be prompted to reboot your computer to complete the installation.
Click “Finish” to automatically restart your PC. Once your computer has rebooted, connect the FireStudio.
When the Found New Hardware wizard launches, follow the recommended steps. When the sync light
remains solid blue, your FireStudio is synced to your computer and is ready to use!
2.1.2 Installation in Mac OS X
After inserting the installation CD into your disc drive, browse the disc and run the FireStudio installer,
which will take you through each step of the installation process. Please read each message carefully,
ensuring especially that you do not connect your FireStudio until the installer has finished and you have
rebooted your computer.
To begin installing the FireStudio driver on your Mac, double click on the FireStudio logo. The FireStudio
installer requires that your user password be entered as a security measure. Once you have entered your
password, click “OK” to proceed with the rest of the installation.
When the Installer has finished, connect your FireStudio to your computer with a FireWire cable. Once the
sync light is solid blue, your FireStudio is ready to use.
