What\u2019s more, is that it has custom-built presets for those DAW\u2019s as well! This means that all of the controls work with your DAW right off the bat, with no additional setup required. The Oxygen Pro is class-compliant as well, so you don\u2019t need to download any drivers. All you have to do is plug it into your computer via USB, and you\u2019re all set!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also bus-powered, which means your computer powers it. We highly recommend connecting the M-Audio Oxygen Pro directly to your computer, as USB hubs <em>(particularly unpowered hubs)<\/em> may not provide sufficient power for the Oxygen Pro and can result in loss of connectivity and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"My-Oxygen-Pro-isn-t-showing-up\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft underline customh4 swheader\">My Oxygen Pro isn&#8217;t showing up!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If the device is powering on but not being recognized by your computer, try a different USB port and USB cable. Also, be sure that they are fully connected at both ends.
