CUBASE, NUENDO AND OS 9 ASIO SOFTWARE

Sample rate

Choose the desired overall sample rate for the

896HD system and Cubase. Newly recorded audio

in Cubase will have this sample rate. Before

running the 896HD at the 4x sample rates, see

“Operation at 4x sample rates (176.4 or 192kHz)”

on page 38.

Clock Source

This setting is very important because it

determines which audio clock the 896HD will

follow.

If you do not have any digital audio connections to

your 896HD (you are using the analog inputs and

outputs only), and you will not be slaving Cubase

to an external clock source, choose Internal.

If you are slaving the 896HD to the ADAT Sync or

Word C l o ck i nput connector, choose ADAT 9-pin

or Word Clock In, respectively.

For information about the other clock source

settings, see “Clock Source” on page 39.

If you have digital audio devices connected to the

896HD, see “Making sync connections” on

page 19.

Samples Per Buffer

The Samples Per Buffer setting can be used to

reduce the delay — or monitoring latency — that

you hear when live audio is patched through your

896HD hardware and Cubase. For example, you

might have MIDI instruments, samplers,

microphones, and so on connected to the analog

inputs of the 896HD. If so, you will often be mixing

their live input with audio material recorded in

Cubase. See chapter 11, “Reducing Monitoring

Latency” (page 85) for complete details.

Optical input and output

To m a ke t h e 8 9 6HD optical input or output

available in Cubase, turn them on in the optical

input and/or output menu. If you won’t 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 Cubase’s audio

output menus.

CHOOSING THE MOTU FIREWIRE ASIO

DRIVER

Once you’ve made the preparations described so

far in this chapter, you’re 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 from the

ASIO device menu. Make the other settings in the

dialog as needed for your system and synchroni-

zation scenario.

Nuendo

To a c t i v a t e t h e 8 96HD driver in Nuendo, go to the

Device Setup window, click VST Multitrack and

choose MOTU FireWire ASIO from the ASIO
