AUDIODESK WORKSTATION SOFTWARE
The PCI-424 installer places AudioDesk on the top
level of your Macintosh’s startup volume.
AudioDesk is an advanced workstation software
package for the PCI-424 system that lets you
record, edit, mix, process, bounce and master
multi-track digital audio recording projects.
Advanced features include real-time 32-bit effects
processing, sample-accurate synchronization with
ADATs and Tascam tape decks, 24-bit recording,
and much more.
See the AudioDesk manual included with your
system for details.

ASIO MOTU PCI DRIVER
ASIO stands for Audio Streaming Input and Output.
The ASIO MOTU PCI driver allows the PCI-424
audio card to do multi-channel input and output
with Steinberg’s Cubase software, or any other
audio application that supports ASIO drivers.
The ASIO MOTU PCI driver is only required if you
are using Cubase or other audio software that
depends on the ASIO driver to do multi-channel
I/O with the PCI-424 system).
Digital Performer and AudioDesk do not use the
ASIO MOTU PCI driver.
The ASIO MOTU PCI driver should be placed in
the ASIO folder of Cubase or other ASIO-
compliant software.
For details about using Cubase with the PCI-424
system, see chapter 9, “Cubase, Nuendo and other
ASIO Software” (page 89).
