PREPARATION
Install your host audio software first if you haven’t
already done so, and complete these chapters
before proceeding:
■
chapter 4, “Software Installation” (page 29)
■
chapter 5, “Hardware Installation” (page 33)
RUN THE WEB APP
Before you run your host audio software, launch
the web app to configure your MOTU hardware.
The web app lets you configure important settings
in your audio interface, enable the desired inputs
and outputs, and set up audio streams to and from
the computer.
Sample Rate
Choose the desired sample rate for the 828es (item
#8 in the Device tab on page 12) and your host
audio software. Make sure the sample rates for the
hardware and software match. Newly recorded
audio will have this sample rate.
Clock Mode
The Clock Mode setting (item #13 in the Device
tab on page 12) is important because it determines
the master digital audio clock for your system.
If you do not have any digital audio connections to
your MOTU device (you are using the analog
inputs and outputs only), and you will not be
resolving your host software to optical or another
external clock source, choose
Internal .
If you have devices connected to the optical ports,
see “Syncing optical devices” on page 47.
If you have devices connected to the S/PDIF ports,
see “Syncing S/PDIF devices” on page 47.
If you are slaving your MOTU device and your
host software to word clock, follow the directions
in “Syncing word clock devices” on page 48.
If you have devices connected to the network port,
see “Syncing an AVB network” on page 49.
