AMBus FireWire card – User’s Guide
Conguring Audio Applications for use with
AMBus FireWire equipped Apogee Interfaces
In general, conguring the “major” audio applications (such as Apple Logic, Steinberg Nuendo or
Cubase,MOTU Digital Performer or Cakewalk Sonar 4) consists of identifying a Device Setup window in
the app and selecting the Apogee host interface as the hardware device providing I/O. On the other hand,
conguring “utility” audio applications such as Windows Media Player (on Windows XP) or iTunes (on OS
X) consists of selecting the Apogee host interface in an operating system control panel. The following four
conguration examples are given below:
Conguring Steinberg Nuendo on Windows XP
Conguring Windows Media Player on Windows XP
Conguring Apple Logic on OS X
Conguring iTunes on OS X.
From these examples it should be possible to deduce conguration details for the specic audio
application you’re using. Please consult operating instructions for the audio application.

card with the Apogee 1394 Audio control panel, open
