Mac SOFTWARE OPERATION

Changing the sample rate with a Mac

Run the AUDIO/MIDI setup utility to change the sample rate. Select properties for the device labeled “ART

Firewire nnnn” (the “nnnn” refers to a unique serial number for each TubeFire 8™). Under the Audio Input
section use the Format pull-down menu to select the desired sample rate.

Note that the Audio Input and Audio Output Format settings track each other. (The various volume sliders,

mutes, and thru radio buttons are all grayed out and disabled. These functions are typically controlled in the
recording software program.)
