WDM AND WAVE DRIVER COMPATIBILITY
WDM
is an acronym for
Windows Driver Model
.
The MOTU Audio WDM driver allows the 8pre to
provide multi-channel audio input and output for
any audio application that supports WDM audio
drivers.
Attention: Cakewalk users
Cakewalk SONAR is used for the WDM driver
setup examples in this chapter. If you prefer to use
the 8pre ASIO driver with SONAR, refer to the
previous chapter.
Attention: other software users
SONAR and Sound Forge are used for the WDM
driver setup examples in this chapter. However, the
basic procedures are similar and can be easily
applied to any WDM-compatible software.
Consult your software documentation, if
necessary.
INSTALLING THE MOTU AUDIO WDM
DRIVER
The MOTU Audio Installer CD installs the
MOTU Audio WDM driver into Windows for you.
That’s pretty much all the preparation you need.
See chapter 3, “IMPORTANT! Run the 8pre
Software Installer First” (page 15).
ENABLING WAVE (MME) COMPATIBILITY
If your host audio software does not yet support
Windows WDM drivers, enable Wave driver
compatibility in the MOTU Audio WDM driver so
that all of the 8pre’s inputs and outputs show up in
your software. For details, see “Wave support for
legacy (MME) software” on page 26.
☛
If your host audio software
does
support
WDM audio drivers,
don’t
enable Wave driver
compatibility.
