Working With Host Audio Software - MOTU 8M User Manual

Specifying the number of computer channels
In the web app Device tab (page 19), in the
Computer Setup section, specify the number of
computer channels for streaming audio to and
from your host audio software. You might want
enough channels to cover the following:
Physical inputs you want to record on your
■
computer.
The physical outputs you want to send audio
■
playback to.
Any audio streams going to and from the
■
on-board mixer in your MOTU device
Figure 7-1: An example of routing computer channels (from host audio software) to physical outputs on a 1248. The two headphone outs are
mirroring the main outs (channels 1-2 from the computer). In this example, 30 channels are being used for streaming from the host
computer, but more can be added for streaming to the AVB network or the on-board 48-channel mixer in the 1248.

Making inputs and outputs available to your
host software
In the web app, use the Routing tab (page 20) to
map inputs and outputs to computer channels, as
demonstrated in Figure 7-1 and Figure 7-2.
