If you haven’t figured it out already go to Beatport Sync Preferences/Audio Set Up. For Audio Device select Built in Audio then select your Master sound accordingly.

Is it possible to use Sync to preview tracks with headphones?

@tron: Well, you would probably be interested in this:

I use this to keep things locked down & monitored. You’d be surprised how many things happen behind the scenes without your knowledge. That said, I haven’t had any alerts pop up with NI installs. I dig the “drop the app in the app folder” style installs too, but sometimes a program is a little more complex and needs to have elements in your application support folder, etc.

@flip: Thanks for the reply! I know it’s a security measure. But, frankly, while I trust NI not to zombify my computer for use in a botnet or delete my files, I’m not sure I trust them not to install questionable system extensions or strew unidentifiable files all over the place.

I dunno. Perhaps I’m asking for too much from software that I’m getting for free. But a nice simple app bundle in a .dmg isn’t so hard, is it?

@tron: OSX always asks me for a admin password when installing a 3rd party software. It’s a security measure.

Does anyone know why the OS X installer is asking for administrator privileges? I’m sure that it’s not up to anything nefarious, but I would like to know what configuration changes it’s making.

Seems kind of bizarre that a simple music player needs administrator privileges.
