SOFTWARE INSTALLATION FOR MAC OS X
Install the 8pre software as follows:
1 Insert the MOTU Audio 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 MOTU Audio Setup, MOTU CueMix
Console, and several other applications,
summarized in the following table:
The 8pre 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
8pre to establish audio input and output with any
Mac OS X CoreAudio-compatible software.
Once the 8pre’s CoreAudio driver has been
successfully installed (by the installer), and you
have chosen it for use in your host audio software,
the 8pre will appear as a choice for audio inputs
and outputs in your software.
All MOTU audio hardware, including our PCI
systems, Firewire interfaces and USB interfaces,
ship with CoreAudio drivers that allow them to
operate successfully with virtually all Mac OS X
audio software.
