SOUND MANAGER
98
To install the PCI-424 Sound Manager driver:
1 Insert the PCI-424 installer CD into your
Macintosh.
2 Run the PCI-424 software installer.
3 Enable (check) the MOTU PCI Sound Manager
Driver option, along with any other packages you
would like to install at this time.
4 Click Install.
5 Complete the installation as instructed by the
installer. Because the MOTU PCI Sound Manager
driver is a System Extension, the installer will ask
you to restart the computer.
SOUND CONTROL PANEL IS REQUIRED
The Sound Control Panel allows you choose your
PCI-424 audio interface as an output for Sound
Manager.
Locating the Sound Control Panel
If the Sound Control Panel is not present in your
Control Panels folder, use Sherlock (command-F)
in the Finder to locate it.
If the Sound Control Panel can’t be found, insert
the Mac OS Installer CD-ROM that shipped with
your computer and try again, searching on the
CD-ROM. It will probably be there.
Once you’ve located the Sound Control Panel, you
can place it anywhere you like on your hard drive,
as it operates like a standard application. Just
double-click it to launch it.
INSTALLATION SUMMARY
Here is what you should have by now:
■ The MOTU PCI Sound Manager driver is
installed as a System Extension.
■ The Sound Control panel is somewhere on your
hard drive.
■ As part of the standard PCI-424 software
installation, a copy of the MOTU PCI Audio
Console application is now on your hard drive.
If all these things are true, you are ready to activate
the PCI-424 hardware as your Sound Manager
input source and output destination.
ENABLING INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Before you set up Sound Manager, you need to run
the MOTU PCI Audio Console and enable the
input pair and output pair you would like to use for
Sound Manager.
1 Launch the MOTU PCI Audio Console.
2 Choose the desired sample rate.
3 From the Monitor Outputs menu, choose the
desired output pair for Sound Manager as shown
below in Figure 10-2. If the pair you want is not
available in the menu, click the Enable Routing
check box and then click the Enable Output check
box for the desired output pair.
Figure 10-2: In this example, analog outputs 1-2 on a 2408mk3 inter-
face will be used for Sound Manager output.
The ‘Monitor Outputs’ setting determines which output pair Sound
Manager will use. If the pair you want is not available in the menu,
click the Enable Routing check box and then click the Enable Output
check box for the desired output pair.
Check the output pair you want
to use for Sound Manager.
