RUN MOTU PCI AUDIO CONSOLE BEFORE
CUBASE
Before you run Cubase, launch the MOTU PCI
Audio Console to configure your PCI-424
hardware. The MOTU PCI Audio Console lets you
configure your audio interface, and it lets you
enable the desired inputs and outputs. Only
enabled inputs and outputs will be available to
Cubase, so this is an important step. For complete
details regarding the MOTU PCI Audio Console,
see chapter 6, “MOTU PCI Audio Console”
(page 65).
Figure 9-2: This example shows a 2408mk3 interface. Configure the
three banks as you would like to use them in Cubase. Only activate
the banks you really need, though, to conserve CPU and PCI
bandwidth.
☛ Changing input and output settings in the
MOTU PCI Audio Console causes Cubase to lose
the input and bussing assignments in any files that
don’t match the new settings. To avoid this, you can
save a PCI-424 setup on disk with your Cubase file.
Then, the next time you open the Cubase file, you
can load the 424 configuration first so that no
settings are lost. For details, see “Saving and
recalling routings” on page 75.
