SOFTWARE INSTALLATION FOR MAC OS X
Install the 896HD software as follows:
1 Insert the MOTU FireWire Installer disc and
launch the installer.
2 Follow the directions that the installer gives you.
What does the OS X installer do?
The installer checks the computer to make sure it
satisfies the minimum system requirements for
your MOTU interface. If so, the installer proceeds
with the OS X installation. Drivers are installed,
along with the MOTU FireWire Audio Console,
FireWire CueMix Console, and several other
applications, summarized in the following table:
The 896HD CoreAudio driver
CoreAudio is a term that refers to the software
technology built into Mac OS X that provides all of
its standardized audio features. More specifically,
we use CoreAudio to refer to Mac OS X’s standard
audio driver model. A CoreAudio driver allows the
896HD to establish audio input and output with
any Mac OS X CoreAudio-compatible software.
Once the 896HD’s CoreAudio driver has been
successfully installed (by the installer), and you
have chosen it for use in your host audio software,
the 896HD will appear as a choice for audio inputs
and outputs in your software.
All MOTU audio hardware, including our PCI
systems and other FireWire interfaces, ship with
CoreAudio drivers that allow them to operate
successfully with virtually all Mac OS X audio
software.
