CUBASE, NUENDO AND OTHER ASIO SOFTWARE
45
Optical input and output
To make the 896HD optical input or output
available in Cubase, turn them on in the optical
input and/or output menu. If you wont be using
the optical connectors, turn them off.
Phones
This 896HD setting lets you choose what you’ll
hear from the headphone jack. For example, if you
choose Main Outs, the headphones will duplicate
the main outs. Or you can choose any other output
pair. If you choose Phones, this setting makes the
headphone jack serve as its own independent
output pair (except when running at 176.4 or
192kHz). As a result, you’ll see Phones 1-2 as an
additional audio destination in Cubases audio
output menus.
CHOOSING THE MOTU FIREWIRE ASIO
DRIVER
Once you’ve made the preparations described so
far in this chapter, youre ready to run your audio
software and enable the MOTU FireWire ASIO
driver. Check the audio system or audio hardware
configuration window in your software. There will
be a menu there that lets you choose among
various ASIO drivers that may be in your system.
Choose the MOTU FireWire ASIO driver from this
menu.
Cubase VST
To a c t i v a t e t h e 896HD driver in Cubase VST,
choose Audio Setup>System from the Options
menu, and then choose MOTU FireWire ASIO
from the ASIO device menu. Make the other
settings in the dialog as needed for your system and
synchronization scenario.
Nuendo and Cubase SX
To activate the 896HD driver in Nuendo or Cubase
SX, go to the Device Setup window, click VST
Multitrack and choose MOTU FireWire ASIO from
the ASIO Driver menu as shown below. Make the
other settings in the dialog as needed for your
system and synchronization scenario.

Cubase.
NUMBER OF CHANNELS
In Cubase, be sure to choose enough channels in
the System dialog (as shown above in Figure 6-2)
to cover the 18 channels of input and 22 channels of
output provided by your 896HD — although the
number of channels may depend on how your
896HD is configured:
12 channels for analog I/O (including the
headphone out)
2 channels for AES/EBU
Zero or 8 channels for optical, depending on
whether you have optical turned off or set to ADAT
