SIXTY-EIGHT
Core Audio and ASIO Drivers
The Serato DJ installer includes Core Audio (Mac) and ASIO (PC) drivers that allow you to use your Rane
Sixty-Eight with other audio applications. Once installed, you will have the option to select the Sixty-
Eight’s inputs and outputs in the audio settings of other applications. Note: These drivers only work with
audio applications that are compatible with these audio standards.
ASIO (Windows)
The Sixty-Eight uses a low-latency, multi-client, ASIO device driver to interface with software
applications on Windows operating systems. Multi-client ASIO allows different audio software
applications to simultaneously stream audio to and from the Sixty-Eight. 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-Eight.
Core Audio (Macintosh)
The Sixty-Eight uses a low-latency Core Audio device driver to interface with software applications on
Macintosh operating systems. Core Audio allows different audio software applications to simultaneously
stream audio to and from the Sixty-Eight.
To launch the Sixty-Eight driver Control Panel, open the System Preferences window. Locate the Sixty-
Eight in the “Other” section and click the Sixty-Eight icon.
Driver Control Panel
The control Panel consists of three pages, Preferences, PGM 1-4 and MIDI. To move between the three
pages, click the Preferences, PGM 1-4 or MIDI
icon in the upper left-hand corner of the control
panel.
The Preferences page controls the following
functions:
• Headphone Tone: These Low and High tone
controls affect the frequency response of the
headphone output so that it may be matched to
the headphones in use.
• USB-6 Record: The three radio buttons select
Main Mix, Mic 1 or Mic 2 as the record source
for USB stereo record pair 6 (11-12).
• Button Backlight: The two radio buttons allow
the user to turn the button backlight off or on. When off, the buttons are not backlit.
• LCD Contrast: This control allows adjustment of the LCD display contrast. Contrast is the ratio of
character to backlight intensity.
• Buffer Size: The Buffer Size control allows the USB driver buffer size to be increased or decreased.
The Sixty-Eight drivers are designed to run very reliably at latencies below 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 3.1 ms.
• Firmware Update: If the Sixty-Eight rmware installed on your computer is newer than the rmware in
your Sixty-Eight, the Update Device Firmware panel is enabled. Pressing the Update Firmware button
will update the Sixty-Eight rmware to the newer version installed with your driver.
