Standalone Digidesign CoreAudio Drivers v7.4.2 for Mac OS X 10.5.3 (Leopard)


June 20, 2008

ONLY For Owners of Supported Digidesign Hardware on Mac OS X 10.5.3 "Leopard" That Do Not Have Pro Tools Installed

The Digidesign CoreAudio Driver is an option (checked by default) during the installation of Pro Tools. If you are installing Pro Tools 7.4.2 for Mac OS X 10.5.3, you should use the Digidesign CoreAudio included with your Pro Tools installation, not the standalone version.

This download is for owners of supported Digidesign hardware on Mac OS X 10.5.3 "Leopard" that wish to install the Digidesign CoreAudio Driver without installing Pro Tools.
