Stand-Alone Mixer; Interface + Mixer - MOTU 8M User Manual

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,
Thunderbolt, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi, as explained in
"Setup for web app control" on page 40. Figure 5-2
below shows the WiFi scenario. Note that you can
control the mix from multiple WiFi 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 or Thunderbolt. 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.
In this scenario, you would 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.
