Consult your Cubase or Nuendo documentation
for details about the rest of the settings in this
dialog.
ACTIVATING 896HD INPUTS
Once you’ve chosen the MOTU FireWire ASIO
driver in the Audio System dialog as explained
earlier in “Choosing the MOTU FireWire ASIO
driver” on page 77, choose VST Inputs from the
Panels menu (or the Devices menu in Cubase SX)
to see the 896HD inputs. To activate them, click the
Active light next to each input. If you don’t see the
optical inputs and/or outputs, check the MOTU
FireWire Audio Console to make sure they are
turned on and set to the format you require. If you
don’t plan to use the optical input or output, turn it
off to conserve computer bandwidth.
The “Mix1 1-2” input
In Cubase’s VST Inputs window, you’ll see an
896HD input called Mix1 1-2. This input source
delivers the output of CueMix DSP “MIX1” (the
first mix bus of the four on-board no-latency
monitor mixes in the 896HD) to your computer.
This input serves, for example, as a convenient way
for you to record the 896HD’s MIX1 monitor mix
into Cubase (for reference and archiving
purposes). Further, if you are sending audio from
Cubase to the same output pair as MIX1, you can
choose to either include or exclude the audio from
the computer in the Mix1 stream being sent to
Cubase. For details on how to do this, see “Mix1
Return Includes Computer” on page 96.
The Mix1 1-2 input is not available at the 4x sample
rates (176.4 or 192kHz).
☛ War ni n g : t h e Mix1 1-2 input can cause
feedback loops! DO NOT assign this input to a
track that shares the same 896HD output pair as
MIX1.
