ENABLING THE MOTU AUDIO WDM 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 Audio WDM
driver. Check the audio system or audio hardware
configuration window in your software.
Enabling the MOTU Audio WDM driver in
SONAR
To activate the MOTU Audio WDM driver in
SONAR:
1 Choose Audio from the Options menu.
2 Click the Drivers tab.
3 Highlight the 8pre inputs and outputs that you
wish to use and unhighlight the ones you don’t as
shown in Figure 8-2.

Enabling the MOTU ASIO driver in SONAR
As an alternative to the 8pre’s WDM driver, you can
use the 8pre’s ASIO driver. Note, however, that you
can only use one audio interface at a time under
ASIO. Go to the Advanced tab and choose
ASIO
from the Driver Mode menu:

impact 8pre operation:
1 In the Audio Options window, click the General
tab.
2 Choose a 8pre input and output for recording
and playback timing as shown below in Figure 8-4.
It doesn’t matter which input or output you choose.
