Layla Installation
Complete Layla installation consists of performing a system check using the
Echo Reporter
software, installing the Layla PCI card, connecting the
rack-mount audio interface to the card, installing the Layla Windows drivers
into your system and, if necessary, installing a multitrack audio
recording/editing application.
Running the Echo Reporter Software
The Reporter is designed to provide you with an analysis of your computer
system’s audio capabilities and its ability to work successfully with Layla.
The program looks at such things as your BIOS version, your interrupt
assignments, and your hard disk’s transfer rate. The Reporter will perform a
limited series of compatibility tests.
It cannot guarantee that your system
will work with Darla.
The only way to be sure is to install the card in your
system and see if it works. Please note that we only support Intel CPUs and
motherboards with an Intel chipset. Your system may or may not work with
other CPUs or chipsets.
Be sure to
run the Reporter before attempting to install Layla
as it can
help you avoid installation problems down the road. To run the Reporter,
simply double-click on the
Install Reporter
icon in the
Reporter
directory
of the Layla CD-ROM. This will install the program onto your hard disk.
The Reporter will then show up under the
Start
menu,
Programs
,
Echo
Audio Utilities
. Select The
Echo Reporter
to launch the program.
Once the program launches, you’ll see the
Hard Disk Performance
test
screen. Press the
Proceed
button to initiate the disk speed test. This test will
tell you if your hard disk is fast enough to support multitrack digital audio
and, if so, approximately how many tracks of record and playback you’ll be
able to achieve.
