Apollo Software Manual Chapter 9: Working With Apollo 166
Apollo I/O Driver Names
Each Apollo input and output has a channel number and name provided by the Apollo
drivers. The DAW uses these numbers or names to designate the specific inputs and/or
outputs within the DAW.
Numbers vs. Names
Apollo’s drivers describe all I/O channels by name and number, but what is actually
displayed depends on each particular DAW. Names are not displayed by all DAWs (e.g.,
Ableton Live), or the driver name display mode may need to be changed in the DAW
(e.g., Apple Logic Pro).
All Apollo driver I/O numbers and names are listed in “Driver I/O Tables” on page 185.
These values can be used to reference specific Apollo inputs or outputs by name when
selecting I/O in an application that does not display the driver names.
Tip: Apollo’s I/O routes and I/O names can be customized in the Core Audio Panel
within the Console Settings window.
