Computer system requirements:

Below are the minimum computer-system requirements for the AudioBox USB® and Studio One®.

Mac

  • macOS® 10.11 or higher (64-bit only) or later
  • Intel® Core™ Duo processor (Intel Core 2 Duo or Core i3 or better recommended)
  • ​2 GB RAM (4 GB or more recommended)

Windows

  • Windows® 7x 64/x86 SP1 or Windows 8/8.1 x64/x86 or Windows 10 x64/x86
  • Intel Core 2 processor (Intel Core i3 processor or better recommended)
  • 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)

Mac and Windows systems

  • Internet connection (not required on machine where Studio One is installed but needed for activation)
  • DVD-ROM drive
  • Monitor with 1280x768 resolution
  • 20 GB hard-drive space
The minimum system requirements may differ for DAWs other than Studio One. Please check the requirements for your DAW of choice with its manufacturer.
Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) than you might experience while monitoring audio or MIDI signals. Monitor resolution for both PC and Macintosh should be no lower than 1024x768 pixels.
