STAND-ALONE MIXER
Choose the Stand-alone mixer preset to use your
MOTU AVB device as a mixer. Doing so routes all
physical inputs to the mixer with the mixer main
out and monitor out going to two hardware output
pairs.
To control the mixer (with the AVB Control web
app), you have several options. You can connect a
computer to your MOTU AVB device using USB,
Ethernet, or Wi-Fi, as explained in “Setup for web
app control” on page 38. Figure 5-2 below shows
the WiFi scenario. Note that you can control the
mix from multiple WiFi devices.

example demonstrates how you can control the mixer from several
Wi-Fi devices.
INTERFACE + MIXER
Choose the Interface + Mixer preset to use your
MOTU AVB device as both an audio interface and
mixer, simultaneously. Doing so routes all physical
inputs and outputs to and from the computer,
connected through USB. In addition, all MOTU
AVB device inputs are routed to the mixer, which
mixes them to the Main Mix bus. The Monitor bus
is set up as a solo bus.
Specifically for the 24Ai, the internal DSP mixes the
analog inputs with eight output channels from the
computer. The computer receives analog inputs
and the output of the internal mixer.
Specifically for the 24Ao, the internal DSP mixes
the ADAT inputs with 8 output channels from the
computer. The computer receives ADAT inputs and
the output of the internal mixer.
In this scenario, you can control the mixer from the
MOTU AVB Control web app running on the
computer. You can also run the web app from
wireless devices on the same WiFi network as the
laptop.
