SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Install the 896mk3 software as follows:
1
Insert the MOTU FireWire Installer disc and
launch the installer.
2
Follow the directions that the installer gives you.
What does the installer do?
The installer checks the computer to make sure it
satisfies the minimum system requirements for
your MOTU interface. If so, the installer proceeds
with the OS X installation. Drivers are installed,
along with the MOTU Audio Setup, CueMix FX,
and several other applications, summarized in the
following table:
The 896mk3 CoreAudio driver
CoreAudio
is a term that refers to the software
technology built into Mac OS X that provides all of
its standardized audio features. More specifically,
we use
CoreAudio
to refer to Mac OS X’s standard
audio driver model. A
CoreAudio driver
allows the
896mk3 to establish audio input and output with
any Mac OS X CoreAudio-compatible software.
Once the 896mk3’s CoreAudio driver has been
successfully installed (by the installer), and you
have chosen it for use in your host audio software,
the 896mk3 will appear as a choice for audio inputs
and outputs in your software.
All MOTU audio hardware, including our PCI
systems and other FireWire and USB interfaces,
ships with CoreAudio drivers that allow them to
operate successfully with virtually all Mac OS X
audio software.
