Working with AVB network streams

Audio channels going to networked AVB interfaces
can be streamed to and from your host audio
software through the MOTU interface connected
directly to the computer. For information about
how to set this up, see “Mapping computer
channels to network streams” on page 73.

Mirroring computer channels to multiple
outputs

Figure 7-1 shows an example of mirroring one
stereo audio stream from your host audio software
to several outputs. In the example, computer
channels 1-2 are being sent to the main outs, plus
phones 1-2 and phones 3-4. To route an input to
multiple outputs, click multiple boxes in its
column, (see computer channels 1-2 in Figure 7-1).

Combining multiple inputs to one output

To merge (mix) any channels in the grid (computer
streams or otherwise), route them to mixer inputs
and then use the on-board mixer (“Mixing tab” on
page 17).

grid, including many useful tips and techniques,

CHOOSING THE MOTU AUDIO 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 AVB audio driver,
which allows your host software to use the the 24Ai
or 24Ao as an audio interface.

For Mac OS X audio software

For audio software running under Mac OS X, go to
the menu item or preference where you choose the
audio device (Core Audio driver) you wish to use,
and then select the the 24Ai or 24Ao by name.

For Windows audio software

For audio software running under Windows, go to
the menu item or preference where you choose the
ASIO driver you wish to use, and then choose

MOTU AVB USB ASIO

. If your host audio software

doesn’t support ASIO, choose the

MOTU AVB USB

AUDIO

Wave driver instead.

Figure 7-3: Choosing the MOTU AVB ASIO driver in Cubase.

Where to go in popular audio hosts

Here is the location for this setting in various
popular audio software host applications:

Other audio software

Consult your software’s manual for further
information.
