INSTALLING THE 896HD MAC OS X DRIVERS
To i n s t a l l t he 8 9 6HD’s Mac OS X audio and MIDI
drivers, just run the installer on the MOTU
FireWire Audio installer CD as detailed in
chapter 4, “Installing the 896HD Macintosh
Software” (page 33).
RUN THE MOTU FIREWIRE AUDIO CONSOLE
Before you run your host audio software, launch
the MOTU FireWire Audio Console to configure
your 896HD hardware. The MOTU FireWire
Audio Console lets you configure your audio
interface, and it lets you enable the desired inputs
and outputs. Only enabled inputs and outputs will
be available to your software, so this is an
important step. For complete details see chapter 5,
“MOTU FireWire Audio Console (Mac OS X)”
(page 37).
Figure 9-1: The MOTU FireWire Audio Console.
For complete details about the 896HD settings, see
chapter 5, “MOTU FireWire Audio Console (Mac
OS X)” (page 37). The following sections provide a
brief explanation of each 896HD setting.
Sample rate
Choose the desired overall sample rate for the
896HD system and your host audio software.
Newly recorded audio will have this sample rate.
Clock Source
This setting is very important because it
determines which audio clock the 896HD will
follow.
