OVERVIEW

The MicroBook includes an ASIO driver 
that provides multi-channel I/O with 
ASIO-compatible hosts such as Cubase, 
Nuendo, SONAR, Live, Reason, and 
more.

A standard Windows audio driver is also 
included for multi-channel audio input 
and output for any audio application that 
supports Windows multimedia audio 
drivers.

INSTALLING THE MICROBOOK 
WINDOWS DRIVERS

To install the MicroBook’s Windows 
audio drivers, just run the installer on the 
MOTU Audio installer disc as detailed in 
chapter 3, “Installing the MicroBook 
Software” (page 15).

RUNNING CUEMIX FX

Before you run your host audio software, 
launch CueMix FX to configure your 
MicroBook hardware. Running CueMix 
FX confirms that the MicroBook 
hardware is connected, powered up, and 
functioning normally. It also lets you 
configure the MicroBook’s inputs and 

outputs. For a quick overview, see 
chapter , “Quick Reference: CueMix FX” 
(page 7).

Figure 6-1: CueMix FX.

For further details about the MicroBook 
settings, see chapter 7, “CueMix FX” 
(page 39).

CHOOSING THE MICROBOOK 
DRIVER

Once you’ve made the preparations 
described so far in this chapter, you’re 
ready to run your audio software and 
enable the MOTU MicroBook ASIO or 
Windows multimedia driver. Check the 
audio system or audio hardware 
configuration window in your software. 
There will be a menu there that lets you 
choose among various drivers that may 
be in your system. Choose the MOTU 
ASIO or Windows multimedia driver 
from this menu, as explained briefly in 
the following sections for several popular 
Windows applications.
