WDM AND WAVE DRIVER COMPATIBILITY
WDM is an acronym for Windows Driver Model.
The MOTU FireWire WDM driver allows the
896HD to provide multi-channel audio input and
output for any audio application that supports
WDM audio drivers.
Attention: Cakewalk users
Cakewalk SONAR is used for the WDM driver
setup examples in this chapter.
Attention: other software users
Cakewalks SONAR software is used for the WDM
driver setup examples in this chapter. However, the
basic procedures are the same and can be easily
applied to any WDM-compatible software. Just
follow the general descriptions at the beginning of
each main section in this chapter. Consult your
software documentation for details about each
topic, if necessary.
INSTALLING THE MOTU FIREWIRE AUDIO
WDM DRIVER
The MOTU FireWire Audio Installer CD installs
the MOTU FireWire WDM driver into Windows
for you. Thats pretty much all the preparation you
need. See chapter 3, IMPORTANT! Run the
896HD Software Installer First (page 15).
ENABLING WAVE (MME) COMPATIBILITY
If your host audio software does not yet support
Windows WDM drivers, enable Wave driver
compatibility in the MOTU FireWire WDM driver
so that all of the 896HD’s inputs and outputs show
up in your software. For details, see “Wave support
for legacy (MME) software on page 39.
If your host audio software does support
WDM audio drivers, dont enable Wave driver
compatibility.
