SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM

As described in chapter 4, "Installing the Traveler
Mac OS X Software" (page 39), the MOTU
FireWire Audio software installer will properly
install everything for you, including AudioDesk.
If you are using a MIDI Timepiece AV or Digital
Timepiece for synchronization, be sure they are
present in Audio MIDI setup.

THE TRAVELER SETTINGS

Choose the Traveler as your audio input output
device by choosing Configure Audio
System>Configure Hardware Driver from the Setup
menu. This window shows some of the Traveler
settings, such as sample rate and clock source, but
to access all of the Traveler settings, open the
MOTU FireWire Audio Console, as shown in
Figure 5-1 on page 44.
Figure 8-1: Choose Setup menu> Configure Audio System> Configure
Hardware Driver to open the dialog shown above and access the
Traveler Core Audio driver. To access the rest of the Traveler settings,
open the MOTU FireWire Audio Console.
For complete details about the Traveler settings, see
chapter 5, "MOTU FireWire Audio Console"
