ASSIGNING OUTPUTS

Once you’ve chosen the MOTU FireWire ASIO 
driver in the Audio System dialog as explained 
earlier in “Choosing the MOTU FireWire ASIO 
driver” on page 45, 896HD outputs will be 
available in Cubase or Nuendo as output 
destinations. In Cubase VST, these outputs appear 
in the VST Master Mixer window as output 

assignments for the master fader and busses, as 
shown below in Figure 6-6. In NuendoCubase SX, 
they appear in the VST Outputs window.

The “Phones 1-2” output

If you’ve chosen to treat the 896HD headphones as 
an independent output, you’ll see 

Phones 1-2

 as an 

896HD output destination. Audio tracks assigned 

In Cubase VST, use the output buttons at the bottom of each channel strip, including the master fader, to assign 
896HD outputs to busses. You can then assign channels in the VST Master Mixer window to each bus as desired.

In Nuendo or Cubase SX, access the 896HD outputs via the busses in the VST Outputs window.
