ACCESSING THE TRACK16 SETTINGS
There are several ways to access Track16 settings:
■ Open MOTU Audio Console from the Windows
Start menu > Programs > MOTU.
■ From within your host audio software’s audio
driver preferences. For example, in Cubase or
Nuendo, open the Device Setup window, click VST
Audio System and choose MOTU Audio ASIO from
the ASIO Driver menu. Then click the MOTU
Audio ASIO item in the list and click the Control
Panel button.
☛ Most applications provide access only to basic
settings such as sample rate and clock source. For
access to all settings, open MOTU Audio Console
using one of the techniques above.

Track16 tab settings

connected, you’ll see a separate tab for each one.
