Quick Reference: MOTU Audio Console
Click the tabs to access general MOTU
interface settings or settings specific to
the 4pre (or other connected interface).
Device Setup in Cubase
Determines the clock source for your 4pre. If
you’re just using the analog ins and outs,
set this to
Internal. The other settings are
for digital transfers via S/PDIF or synchroni-
zation to time code or other audio devices.
This menu lets you choose what you will
hear from the headphone jack. To mirror the
main outs, choose
Main Out 1-2 . Or you can
mirror any other output pair. To hear the
phones as their own independent output,
choose
Phones 1-2.
Uncheck this option if the Windows audio
software you are using with the 4pre does
not support Windows WaveRT drivers and
instead only supports WDM drivers.
Choose the global sample rate
for the system here.
Choosing a smaller setting here reduces
the delay you may hear when listening to
live input that you are running through
effects plug-ins in your software. But
lower settings also increase the strain on
your computer. For details, see “Samples
Per Buffer” on page 33.
Click the 4pre tab to access
this setting.
This option should always be left on
(checked). There are only a few rare cases
in which you would want to turn it off. For
details, refer to the MOTU tech support
database at www.motu.com.
