M-Audio SESSION User manual

Quick Start Guide

English

English » 1

Welcome to Session, a powerful and intuitive music creation application for Windows.

Regardless of your experience with computers and music software, we suggest that you

read the Electronic Documentation, which you can launch from within Session by selecting

Help > Manual. The documentation covers every aspect of Session, and provides 12

tutorials to get you up and running.

Installation:

Note: Before installing Session, make sure to install your M-Audio audio interface and/or

MIDI keyboard (see your M-Audio hardware’s documentation for installation instructions).

Session requires the presence of M-Audio hardware to run.

1. Place the Session DVD in your DVD drive.

2. If the installer does not launch automatically, choose Start > My Computer, and open

your DVD drive by double clicking it. If the installer does not start at this point, double-

click “Setup.exe” on the Session DVD.

3. Please be aware that your Session software’s Factory Content Library may take as

long as 30 minutes to install. This behavior is normal. During the installation process,

the installer displays helpful Session tutorial information.

Content Installation Note:

Session requires approximately 4 GB of free disk space for Factory Content installation. If you

do not have 4 GB of disk space available, you can choose not to install the Factory Content,

but you must place the Session DVD in your DVD drive whenever you run Session.

Important Note on Input Monitoring:

You can monitor a microphone or guitar directly through Session. To protect your ears

and equipment, the monitoring function is set to off (this applies only to Audio Tracks). To

enable input monitoring on a Track, you can press its Input Monitor Button.

Warning: With this functionality, there is the potential of feedback (a loud, unpleasant

“screeching” sound), especially if you are using speakers and a microphone. Please use

headphones when monitoring, or turn your speakers down and slowly raise the volume

until you ﬁnd the appropriate level.

Optionally, Session can automatically turn

on input monitoring for the selected Audio

Track. Simply choose “Auto Input Monitor

Selected Audio Track” from the Track

Menu.
