This installer and driver can be used for any interface in the FireStudio Project family line (FireStudio Mobile,

FireStudio Project, FireStudio Tube, FireStudio Lightpipe, FireStudio [26x26], and StudioLive 16.4.2). For

more information on the Universal Control application and multiple interface integration, please review Sections

2.1.1 Installation in Microsoft Windows

After you insert the installation CD into your CD or DVD drive, the FireStudio Project 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 Project until the installer has finished and you have rebooted your computer.

The FireStudio Project Installer was designed to be as simple and easy-to-follow as possible. Please read

each message carefully to ensure that the FireStudio Project driver is properly installed.

Before continuing the FireStudio Project Installation Setup, please close all applications and disconnect your

FireStudio Project 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

Project. When the Found New Hardware wizard launches, follow the recommended steps. When the sync

light remains solid blue, your FireStudio Project is synced to your computer and is ready to use!

After inserting the installation CD into your disc drive, browse the disc and run the FireStudio Project

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 Project until the installer has finished

and you have rebooted your computer.

To begin installing the FireStudio Project driver on your Mac, double click on the FireStudio Project logo.

The FireStudio Project 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.
