Enabling and disabling input/output banks
In the web app Routing tab (page 15), you can
enable any input and output banks on your MOTU
device that you wish to make available to your host
audio software. You can disable banks you are not
using to simplify operation.
Specifying the number of computer channels
In the web app Routing tab
Enable Inputs/Outputs
sections (Figure 7-6), you can specify the number
of computer channels for streaming audio to and
from your host audio software. You might want
enough channels to cover the following:
■
Physical inputs you want to record on your
computer.
■
The physical outputs you want to send audio
playback to.
■
Any audio streams going to and from the
on-board mixer in your MOTU device.
If you aren’t sure how many channels you’ll need,
visit the Routing tab, as explained below.
Making inputs and outputs available to your
host software
In the web app, use the Routing tab (page 15) to
map inputs and outputs to computer channels, as
demonstrated in Figure 7-6 and Figure 7-7.
Configuration presets
The presets menu (item #7 in the Devices tab on
page 12) provides many useful presets for various
host routing scenarios. These presets are a
convenient shortcut for the routing grid setups
discussed in the next few sections.
Naming computer input and output channels
Click on any computer input or output name in the
routing grid (Figure 7-6) to change its name.
