Notes

* In macOS Catalina, the iTunes App has changed to the Music App. Accordingly, the “Add iTunes Songs” feature of AudioGate 4  can no longer be used. To add songs in "Music" to AudioGate, drag and drop the "Music>Music" folder directly into the song list.
* When recording 8 channels with AudioGate Recording Studio, the processing load is high and noise may occur, so increase the driver buffer size to 24mSec or more in the Nu I control panel.
* If you use AudioGate Recording Studio v.1.0.3 on Monterey, the keyboard shortcut to enlarge tracks vertically does not work when using JIS keyboard layout.  Please use the button on the screen.
* When using S.O.N.I.C. Remastering Technology with Nu I Driver installed on macOS 11 Big Sur or later, please set the buffer size to 60 mSec or more to avoid the generation of pop noise. 
If you still hear noise despite the above settings, make the buffer size larger until you can't hear the noise.
