CUBASE, NUENDO AND OS 9 ASIO SOFTWARE

MTP AV (or other MMC device). In this scenario,

transport control is handled by Cubase or Nuendo

itself.

5 In Cubase VST’s Controls window, enable

SYNC. In Nuendo, enable (check) the Sync Online

command in the Transport menu.

Figure 10-9: Enabling the SYNC button.

6 Begin playback from the sample-accurate sync

source (ADAT, DA-88, etc.) Transport control is

handled by the sample-accurate sync source.

MIDI MACHINE CONTROL (MMC)

If you have ADATs (or other ADAT Sync-

compatible recorders) and a MMC-compatible

ADAT synchronizer like the MIDI Timepiece AV

and Digital Timepiece, you can control everything

from your computer screen with Cubase’s

transport controls and cueing features (like the

playback wiper, etc.)

Similarly, if you have Tascam digital recorders and

a MOTU Digital Timepiece (or other MMC-

compatible Tascam synchronizer), you can control

all of your Tascam tape decks (in ABS time) in a

similar fashion from Cubase.

See “Sample-accurate sync to ADAT or Tascam” on

page 83 for details on how to set this up.

USING A FOOT SWITCH

Use a foot switch connected to the 896HD to

trigger recording punch-in and punch-out, or any

other feature in your host audio software that is

assigned to a computer keystroke. By default, the

foot switch triggers the 3 key on the computer

keypad. To trigger a different set of keystrokes with

the foot switch, visit the MOTU FireWire Audio

Console. (See “Enable Pedal” on page 43.)

24-BIT OPERATION

Yo u r 8 9 6HD hardware fully supports Cubase and

Nuendo’s 24-bit recording capabilities. Simply

enable 24-bit operation as instructed in your

Cubase or Nuendo manual. The 896HD always

supplies a 24-bit data stream, and when you enable

24-bit operation in Cubase or Nuendo, it simply

uses all 24-bits supplied by the 896HD hardware.

MONITORING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

Because it has so many inputs and outputs, the

896HD may push the limits of your computer’s

processing power. Keep the VST Performance

window open to keep tabs on the load on your CPU

and disk buffers. If the meters get too high, you can

reduce the load by reducing the number of inputs

and outputs you are working with. Use the MOTU

FireWire Audio Console to uncheck input check

boxes and set output source menus to None.

Figure 10-10: Keep the Audio Performance window open to keep tabs

on your computer’s processing power and hard disk performance.
