INSTALLING THE TRAVELER-MK3 MAC OS X
DRIVERS
To install the Traveler-mk3's Mac OS X audio and
MIDI drivers, just run the installer on the MOTU
Audio installer CD as detailed in chapter 4,
"Installing the Traveler-mk3 Mac Software"
(page 33).

PREPARING MIDI INPUT AND OUTPUT

If you will be using the Traveler-mk3's MIDI input
and output ports, be sure to follow the procedure in
"Preparing MIDI input and output" on page 63.

RUN MOTU AUDIO SETUP

Before you run your host audio software, launch
MOTU Audio Setup to configure your
Traveler-mk3 hardware. MOTU Audio Setup lets
you configure your audio interface, and it lets you
enable the desired inputs and outputs. Only
enabled inputs and outputs will be available to your
software, so this is an important step. For complete
details see chapter 5, "MOTU Audio Setup"
(page 37).
Figure 9-1: MOTU Audio Setup.
For complete details about the Traveler-mk3
settings, see chapter 5, "MOTU Audio Setup"
(page 37). The following sections provide a brief
explanation of each Traveler-mk3 setting for use
with Logic and other Mac OS X audio software.
Sample rate
Choose the desired overall sample rate for the
Traveler-mk3 system and your host audio software.
Newly recorded audio will have this sample rate.
Clock Source
This setting is very important because it
determines which audio clock the Traveler-mk3
will follow.
If you do not have any digital audio connections to
your Traveler-mk3 (you are using the analog inputs
and outputs only), and you will not be slaving your
host software to external SMPTE time code,
choose Internal.
