Begin playback from the sample-accurate sync
source (ADAT, DA-88, etc.) Transport control is
handled by the sample-accurate sync source.
MIDI MACHINE CONTROL (MMC)
If you have ADATs (or other ADAT Sync-
compatible recorders) and a MMC-compatible
ADAT synchronizer like the MIDI Timepiece AV
and Digital Timepiece, you can control everything
from your computer screen with Cubase’s
transport controls and cueing features (like the
playback wiper, etc.)
Similarly, if you have Tascam digital recorders and
a MOTU Digital Timepiece (or other MMC-
compatible Tascam synchronizer), you can control
all of your Tascam tape decks (in ABS time) in a
similar fashion from Cubase.
See “Sample-accurate sync to ADAT or Tascam” on
page 50 for details on how to set this up.
USING A FOOT SWITCH
Use a foot switch connected to the 896HD to
trigger recording punch-in and punch-out, or any
other feature in your host audio software that is
assigned to a computer keystroke. To trigger a
different set of keystrokes with the foot switch, visit
the MOTU FireWire Audio Console. (See “Enable
Pedal” on page 39.)
24-BIT OPERATION
Your 896HD hardware fully supports Cubase and
Nuendo’s 24-bit recording capabilities. Simply
enable 24-bit operation as instructed in your
Cubase or Nuendo manual. The 896HD always
supplies a 24-bit data stream, and when you enable
24-bit operation in Cubase or Nuendo, it simply
uses all 24-bits supplied by the 896HD hardware.
MONITORING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Because it has so many inputs and outputs, the
896HD may push the limits of your computer’s
processing power. Keep the VST Performance
window open to keep tabs on the load on your CPU
and disk buffers. If the meters get too high, you can
reduce the load by reducing the number of inputs
and outputs you are working with. Use the MOTU
FireWire Audio Console to uncheck input check
boxes and set output source menus to
None .
