54
RUNNING THE MOTU AUDIO/AUDIODESK
SOFTWARE INSTALLER
Insert the Macintosh and Windows compatible
installer CD-ROM into your Macintosh and run
the MOTU Audio/AudioDesk installer on the CD.
It will guide you through the installation. If you are
unsure about what components to install, refer to
the rest of the sections in this chapter, which
explain the purpose of each software item.
SETUP WIZARD
Check out the Setup Wizard. It helps you figure out
how to connect your gear to the PCI-424 audio
interfaces, and it even configures the PCI-424
driver for you based on your setup.
MOTU FOLDER
The MOTU Folder goes in the Extensions Folder
inside the System Folder on the Macintosh startup
disk.
The MOTU Folder contains the “under the hood”
software drivers and hard disk recording engine for
the PCI-424 hardware. It also holds the real-time
effects processing plug-ins used by MOTU Audio
system compatible software, such as AudioDesk
and Digital Performer.
The items in the MOTU Folder are required for
PCI-424 operation.
Figure 4-1: The MOTU Folder contains the software driver for the
PCI-424 card and the ‘MOTU Audio System’ hard disk recording
engine.
MOTU PCI AUDIO CONSOLE
The MOTU PCI Audio Console application is
placed by the PCI-424 software installer on the top
level of your Mac’s startup disk. It gives you access
to all of the basic settings in your PCI-424 card and
the interfaces connected to it, such as clock source
settings and routing to and from the computer.
For complete details, see chapter 6, “MOTU PCI
Audio Console” (page 65).
