DRAWMER

Installing from the CDRom

Insert the CDRom into your CDRom drive.
From the Taskbar, click on Start and select
Run.. Select Browse and go to the Drawmer
folder on the CDRom.
Double click on setup.exe. It is strongly
recommended that you use the default folders
for program files and user files (C:\Program
Files\Soundscape and C:\Soundscape).
Note: Using the default paths and folders is
important, as in the event that you need
Soundscape technical support, it’s easier if
all files are installed where we expect.
Click on Start, and files will be copied onto
your hard disk.

Soundscape uses low-cost ATA (IDE) hard
drives and stores all audio files as linear (un-
compressed) data - 10GB gives 31hrs 29min
total at 16 bit, 44.1kHz or 9hrs 38min at 24
bit, 96kHz. EIDE (enhanced) or Ultra-DMA
disks are not essential, but using a fast
modern drive is advisable.
