Introduction
Red Rover puts the recording controls you use most at your fingertips!
You can do your tracking and control up to 128 tracks without even
looking at the computer monitor. Now that you can control the software
from ten feet away from your computer (or even farther away with an
optional USB extension cable), you will never have to worry about your
guitar picking up interference from you monitor or your drum set being
across the room from you keyboard and mouse. Even if you don’t have
a complicated setup, you will want to keep Red Rover handy for quick
and easy transport and track controls. Once you start using Red Rover,
you will wonder how you ever got along without it.

INSTALLATION
GUIDE
6
Installing your Red Rover
1. Turn on your computer and load Windows normally.
2. Plug Red Rover into the computer’s USB port. USB-compatible
device detection messages will appear on screen. During this time
Red Rover’s LCD screen will read “Initializing…”
3. Under some Windows versions, the installation of Red Rover will
be completely automatic. When Red Rover is fully installed in
Windows, Red Rover’s LCD screen should read, “Red Rover (FW
1.x) / Remote Audio Control”. If Red Rover is installed automatically,
skip to step 9.
4. Some Windows versions will require your Windows CD to install
the Human Interface Device driver that Red Rover requires. If this
is the case, you will see a dialog that says, “This wizard searches for
new drivers for: USB Human Interface Device.” Click Next to
continue. (Note: some versions of Windows may have slightly
different wording in the installation dialogs. If this is the case, just
follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation.)
5. The next dialog will say, “What do you want Windows to do?”
Select, “Search for best driver for you device (recommended)” and
click Next.
6. Insert you Windows CD-ROM. If Windows setup runs, exit out of
the Windows setup screen. Select “CD-ROM drive” from the list of
locations, and click Next.
7. The next dialog will say, “Windows driver file search for the device:
USB Human Interface Device”. Click Next to install the driver.
8. The last dialog will say, “Windows has finished installing the software
that your new device requires”. Click Finish to complete the
installation of the driver for Red Rover. Red Rover’s LCD screen
should now read “Red Rover (FW1.x) / Remote Audio Control.”
9. Start your supported software (e.g. Adobe Audition, Cool Edit Pro 2.0
or higher, etc.) and set it to use Red Rover as its controller. See
your application specific help for more details on this step.
10. If you have any trouble installing Red Rover, visit

Backlight Switch
Unplug Red Rover from the computer and then flip the backlight switch toward
the front of the unit to disable the backlight, and toward the back to enable
it. NOTE: this switch does not affect the backlight status while Red Rover is
plugged in. You must first unplug Red Rover to change the backlight status
with this switch. When you plug Red Rover in, it checks the position of the
switch and sets the backlight accordingly. This enables Red Rover to operate
as low-power USB device. Some computers, especially ultra-portable laptops,
do not provide enough power via their USB ports to power the backlight. When
the backlight is switched off, Red Rover appears to the system as a low-power
device and should work on all systems, including those with low power output.
9
NOTE: Only plug in a pedal switch when Red Rover is disconnected from the computer.
When Red Rover is powered on, it assumes that that state of the pedal (open or closed)
is Stop, ant the opposite state is Record. Plugging a pedal into Red Rover after it is
powered on can confuse this state, and cause the Red Rover to behave erratically.
NOTE: Most of Red Rover’s functions are not applicable to Edit View, so they are
disabled. However, the Time Display, Level Meter, Add Cue button and Transport
Controls all work as they do in Mulitrack view.
Pedal Jack
The Pedal Jack is designed for use with
momentary foot pedal switches. The foot
pedal switch is linked to the record button, so
one press (stomp) will start recording and the
second will stop recording.

Troubleshooting and FAQ
Q: Can I use Red Rover with my sound card
A: Yes, Red Rover works with any sound card.
Q: Can I use Red Rover with a USB hub, or do I need to plug it directly
into my computer?
A: Red Rover works when plugged into a USB hub or directly into the
computer.
Q: Why did my computer notify me that it is not compatible with high
power USB devices?
A: Red Rover requires power from the host computer. Sometimes,
computer cannot supply power up to USB specifications. Red Rover
offers tow solutions to this:
• Disable the backlight (see the Backlight Switch section above).
• Plug Red Rover into a powered USB hub so that the computer
does not need to supply Red Rover’s power directly.
Q: Why is Red Rover’s LCD screen dim or garbled?
A: Your computer may not be providing enough power on its USB bus.
To solve this problem:
• Disable the backlight (see the Backlight Switch section above).
• Plug Red Rover into a powered USB hub so that the computer
does not need to supply Red Rover’s power directly.
• Discontinue any use of passive extension cables. Use active
repeater cables or a powered hub to increase cable
length instead.
Q: Can I use Red Rover with other devices on my USB bus, including
high-bandwidth items like sound cards and CD burners?
A: Yes. Red Rover requires very little USB bandwidth and plays nicely
with other devices on the USB bus.
11
Q: I need to control my software from more than 10 feet away. Will Red
Rover work if I extend its cable with extension cables?
A: It might, but we recommend against the use of passive extension
cables. Adding passive cable to Red Rover’s cable can cause data
loss and cause synchronization problems between Red Rover’s
display and the computer. On some systems it will work correctly,
but you may find that some signals are getting “lost” between Red
Rover and the host computer. Instead, we strongly recommend
using either active signal-boosting cable extenders or a powered
USB hub to extend Red Rover’s cable length.
Q: I did not find any diskette or CD with a driver in my Red Rover box.
How do I install the driver for Red Rover?
A: Red Rover uses the standard Human Interface Device driver
provided by Microsoft as part of Windows 98 and later (including
Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP). You may already have the HID
driver installed on your system and will not need any CD to install
Red Rover. If not, your system will prompt you to insert your
Windows CD to complete installation. See the Installation
Instructions section for more details on how to install Red Rover on
your system.
Q: Where can I got to find help if my question is not listed here?
