as a file in your AudioDesk project folder for
instant recall of all settings. See chapter 11,
“CueMix Console” (page 75) for complete details.
SYNCHRONIZATION
As you read through the following sections to
decide what form of synchronization you might
need with other devices in your studio, be sure to
consult “Making sync connections” on page 21 for
the proper hardware connections. Use the
synchronization diagrams to be clear about how
you will be synchronizing AudioDesk and the
896mk3 to the other components of your system.
Synchronizing digital audio connections
If you have devices connected to the 896mk3
digital inputs (optical or RCA S/PDIF), you need to
be concerned with the synchronization of the
896mk3’s digital audio clock with other devices
connected to it digitally (if any). For example, if
you have a digital mixer connected to the 896mk3
via an ADAT optical light pipe cable, you need to
make sure that their audio clocks are phase-locked.
For details, see “Choosing a clock source for optical
connections” on page 19 and “Making sync
connections” on page 21. If you don’t have any
digital audio devices connected to the 896mk3,
digital audio phase-lock does not apply to you.
Resolving directly to time code (with no
synchronizer)
If you need to slave AudioDesk and the 896mk3 to
SMPTE time code, you can do so with or without a
dedicated synchronizer.
To resolve your 896mk3 directly to SMPTE time
code with no additional synchronization devices,
use the setup shown in “Syncing to SMPTE time
code directly” on page 22.
Resolving to video and/or time code with a
dedicated synchronizer
To resolve your 896mk3 to video and/or SMPTE
time code using an additional synchronization
device, use the setup shown in “Syncing to video
and/or SMPTE time code using a synchronizer” on
page 23.
USING A FOOT SWITCH
Use a foot switch connected to the 896mk3 to
trigger recording punch-in and punch-out, or any
other feature in AudioDesk that is assigned to a
computer keystroke. By default, the foot switch
triggers the 3 key on the computer keypad (which
toggles AudioDesk’s record button.) To trigger a
different set of keystrokes with the foot switch, visit
the MOTU Audio Setup. (See “Enable Pedal” on
page 41.)
EXCHANGING PROJECTS WITH DIGITAL
PERFORMER
To open AudioDesk Version 2 (or Version 1) files in
Digital Performer, just use DP’s Open command.
(No conversion is required beforehand in
AudioDesk.) To export a Digital Performer project
to AudioDesk, use Save As in Digital Performer’s
File menu and choose the
AudioDesk 2.0 file
format. Then open the resulting AudioDesk 2.0
document in AudioDesk.
AUDIODESK AND MIDI SEQUENCING
AudioDesk can play audio as a background
application, allowing you to run a sequencer at the
same time in the foreground. However, there is no
way to continuously synchronize — or
resolve — a
sequencer with AudioDesk, so the two programs
will eventually drift out of sync, even if you manage
to start them at the same time. If you’d like to do
integrated MIDI sequencing, your best bet is
Digital Performer, which offers pretty much all of
the same features as AudioDesk, along with
powerful, state-of-the-art MIDI sequencing. Talk
to your authorized MOTU dealer for details about
upgrading from AudioDesk to Digital Performer.
