How do I uninstall my Firestudio Driver

1. Disconnect your FireStudio Family interface

2. Double click on MacHD to launch a new finder window. The following list includes every possible file that may have been installed on your Mac, depending on which driver versions you have installed. If you do not see one of these files, do not be alarmed. The files are listed by location tree. For example, to locate the MacHD/Library/Preferences/PaeFireStudio.startup file, you will double click on MacHD and Open the Library folder. In the Library folder, you will open the Preferences folder where you will find the PaeFireStudio.startup file. This is the file you will move to the Trash.

Delete the following from your computer (note some files will require that you type in your administrative password):

– MacHD/Applications/Universal Control

– MacHD/Applications/FireStudio Control Console

– MacHD/Applications/FireControl

– MacHD/Applications/FireStudio Lightpipe Mixer
