SIXTY-TWO
Rane Drivers
The Serato DJ installer includes Core Audio (Mac) and ASIO (PC) drivers that allow your Rane Sixty-Two
to use other popular DJ and DAW audio applications. Once installed, you will have the option to select the
Sixty-Two’s inputs and outputs in the audio settings of these programs.
ASIO (Windows)
The Sixty-Two comes with a low-latency ASIO device driver on the installation CD to interface with
Serato DJ and other 3rd-party software applications on Windows operating systems. Multi-client ASIO
allows different audio software applications to simultaneously stream audio to and from the Sixty-Two.
If the same playback channel is selected in more than one application, the driver mixes the audio from
the applications before streaming it to the device. The driver Control Panel may be launched from the
Windows Control Panel. Select Start > Control Panel > Rane Sixty-Two.
Core Audio (Macintosh)
The Sixty-Two uses a low-latency Core Audio device driver on the installation CD to interface with Serato
DJ and other 3rd-party software applications on Macintosh operating systems. Core Audio allows audio
software applications to simultaneously stream audio to and from the Sixty-Two. To launch the Sixty-Two
driver Control Panel, open the System Preferences window. Locate the Sixty-Two in the “Other” section
and click the Sixty-Two icon.
NOTE:
Settings are saved in the mixer. The control panel for Windows or Macintosh is updated with the
mixer’s settings. Therefore, when you connect to a different Sixty-Two Mixer, it's saved settings override
your previous Control Panel settings.
The control Panel consists of four pages: Preferences, Program Inputs 1-2, Effects and MIDI. The current
page title is in the top center. To move between the four pages, click the
icon with the next title in the
upper left-hand corner of the control panel.
Preferences page controls
•
USB-6 (11-12) Record source
: Two radio
buttons select the Main Mix or Mic.
•
USB-3 (5-6) Filter Resonance
: Slider adjusts
the resonance from Low to High for the
AUX
Filter.
•
USB Port Status
: Indicates active USB port(s).
•
Buffer Size
: The Buffer Size control allows the
USB driver buffer to be increased or decreased.
This control is in the Rane driver in Windows
(as shown). In Mac systems, the buffer control is in the Serato DJ setup screen and does not appear
here. The Sixty-Two drivers are designed to run at latencies as low 8 milliseconds. However, computer
performance and available resources (number of applications running) may adversely affect the
computer’s ability to stream audio reliably. If pops and clicks are heard in the USB audio, try increasing
the buffer size to eliminate them. With ASIO, total round-trip latency is equal to Buffer Size plus device
latency. With Core Audio, total round-trip latency is equal to Buffer Size plus software application buffer
latency, plus device latency. Device latency is 2.26 ms.

Update Device Firmware
: This panel indicates the firmware version currently installed in the Sixty-Two.
If the Sixty-Two firmware installed on your computer is newer than the firmware in your Sixty-Two, the
Update Device Firmware panel is enabled. Pressing the Update Firmware button updates the Sixty-Two
firmware to the newer version. Check for a Firmware Update after any Serato DJ software updates
