SOUND MANAGER
100
That’s it. You can now run any Sound Manager
compatible audio software, and play back audio
through the PCI-424 outputs you’ve chosen in the
MOTU PCI Audio Console Monitor Outputs menu.
CHANGING THE OUTPUT
To change the PCI-424 output being used by
Sound Manager, run the MOTU PCI Audio
Console, and choose the desired output pair from
the Monitor Outputs menu as shown in Figure 10-2
on page 98.
SOUND MANAGER AND 2408MK3 STAND-
ALONE OPERATION
As discussed earlier in chapter 5, “2408mk3 Front
Panel Operation” (page 57), the 2408mk3 has two
modes: PCI mode and stand-alone mode. It goes
into PCI mode as soon as any 2408mk3-related
software is launched on the Macintosh. It remains
in PCI mode until all 2408mk3-related software
quits. Only then can it operate in stand-alone
mode.
If you’ve installed the Sound Manager driver as
described in this chapter, your 2408mk3 hardware
will go into PCI mode as soon as you start up your
Macintosh (since the MOTU PCI Sound Manager
driver loads at startup, like the rest of the System
Extensions). The 2408mk3 hardware will stay in
PCI mode until you shut down your computer.
Therefore, if you would like to use the 2408mk3 in
stand-alone mode, either shut down your
computer, or simply restart it with the MOTU PCI
Sound Manager Driver extension disabled. See the
next section for how to do so.
MONITORING LIVE INPUTS
If you would like to listen to live inputs as you are
recording them into your Sound Manager
application, you need to use the PCI-424’s CueMix
feature. For details, see “Using CueMix with Sound
Manager” on page 109 and chapter 13, “CueMix
Console” (page 111).
DEACTIVATING THE DRIVER
You can deactivate the MOTU PCI Sound Manager
driver at any time by choosing the Extensions
Manager Control Panel and unchecking it in the
list.
AUDIOTAP AND DIGITAL PERFORMER
Digital Performer includes a MOTU Audio System
plug-in called AudioTap that allows you to route
any Sound Manager audio into Digital Performer’s
mixing environment. From there, you can route it
to your PCI-424 interface via any of Digital
Performer’s extensive audio routing features. For
details, consult your Digital Performer documen-
tation.
