INSTALLING THE 896MK3 MAC OS X
DRIVERS
To install the 896mk3’s Mac OS X audio and MIDI
drivers, just run the installer on the MOTU Audio
installer CD as detailed in chapter 4, “Installing the
896mk3 Mac Software” (page 33).
PREPARING MIDI INPUT AND OUTPUT
If you will be using the 896mk3’s MIDI input and
output ports, be sure to follow the procedure in
“Preparing MIDI input and output” on page 61.
RUN MOTU AUDIO SETUP
Before you run your host audio software, launch
MOTU Audio Setup to configure your 896mk3
hardware. MOTU Audio Setup lets you configure
your audio interface, and it lets you enable the
desired inputs and outputs. Only enabled inputs
and outputs will be available to your software, so
this is an important step. For complete details see
chapter 5, “MOTU Audio Setup” (page 35).
Figure 9-1: MOTU Audio Setup.
For complete details about the 896mk3 settings, see
chapter 5, “MOTU Audio Setup” (page 35). The
following sections provide a brief explanation of
each 896mk3 setting for use with Logic and other
Mac OS X audio software.
Sample rate
Choose the desired overall sample rate for the
896mk3 system and your host audio software.
Newly recorded audio will have this sample rate.
Clock Source
This setting is very important because it
determines which audio clock the 896mk3 will
follow.
If you do not have any digital audio connections to
your 896mk3 (you are using the analog inputs and
outputs only), and you will not be slaving your host
software to external SMPTE time code, choose
Internal
