Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of M-Audio Session Music Producer: the high-quality
Producer USB microphone and Session recording software package are designed for easy
integration with your computer. The Producer USB microphone works with many third-party
software applications in addition to the M-Audio Session software contained in this bundle.
GarageBand, Logic Pro, and Ableton Live are examples of other applications that seamlessly
interface with the Producer Mic. We recommend you spend a few minutes reviewing this Quick
Start Guide to ensure proper setup.
About the USB Microphone
Your M-Audio Producer USB microphone is designed for a wide variety of uses, such as
podcasting, voice-overs and music production. Gaming soundcards or built-in computer
audio interfaces often introduce a noticeable delay (Latency) between the moment you speak
into a microphone and until you can hear the sound from your speakers or headphones. The
professional grade ASIO drivers used by the USB Producer Microphone minimize this delay,
so sounds are heard near-instantly – a mandatory feature for anyone serious about music
production.
About Session Software
Session gives you access to many professional features for recording, editing and mixing
music. Featuring an easy to use intuitive interface and a massive library of sounds, Session
enables you to get started making music in minutes.
