MOTU AUDIO SETUP

Phones
The Phones setting lets you choose what you will
hear from the headphone jack. Choose Main
Outs 1-2 if you’d like the headphone output to
match the main outs. Choose Phones 1-2 if you
would like the headphones to serve as their own
independent output, which you can access as an
independent output destination in your host audio
software and as an output destination for the four
on-board CueMix DSP mix busses.
‘GENERAL’ TAB SETTINGS
Enable Pedal
This setting applies to other MOTU FireWire audio
interfaces, but it does not apply to the 8pre.
Launch MOTU Audio Setup when hardware
becomes available
Check this option if you would like the MOTU
Audio Setup icon to appear in the application dock
as soon as a MOTU interface is detected (switched
on, plugged in, etc.)
Edit Channel Names
Click the Edit Channel Names button to open the
Channel Names window (Figure 5-3). This
window lets you edit the names of the 8pre inputs
and outputs, as they appear in your host audio
software. For example, when you click on a menu
that displays the 8pre inputs (or outputs), you will
see the names you specify in this window (e.g.
“vocal mic”, “lead guitar”, etc.), instead of the
default generic names (“Analog 1”, “Analog 2”,
etc.)
☛ Not all Mac OS X audio software supports
channel names. If not, you’ll see generic port
names in your host audio software.
