Other Mac Os X Audio Software; Choosing The Motu Firewire Core Audio Driver - MOTU Traveler-mk3 User Manual

If you have digital audio devices connected to the
Traveler-mk3, or if you are not sure about the clock
source of your setup, be sure to read "Making sync
connections" on page 26 and "Clock Source" on
page 39.
If you are slaving the Traveler-mk3 and your host
software to SMPTE time code, follow the
directions in "Syncing to SMPTE time code" on
page 28.
Phones Assign
This Traveler-mk3 setting lets you choose what
you'll hear from the headphone jack. For example,
if you choose Analog 1-2, the headphones will
duplicate the main outs. Or you can choose any
other output pair. If you choose Phones 1-2, this
setting makes the headphone jack serve as its own
independent output pair. As a result, you'll see
Phones 1-2 as an additional audio destination in
your host's audio output menus. Audio tracks
assigned to this output pair will be heard on the
headphone jack only. For further explanation, see
"Phones Assign" on page 41.
Optical input and output
To make a Traveler-mk3 optical input or output
available in your host software, choose the
appropriate format (ADAT optical or TOSLink)
from the optical input and/or output menu. If you
won't be using the optical connectors, turn them
off. Note: these settings can only be accessed in the
MOTU Audio Setup application. For details, see
"Optical input/output" on page 41. If you are
operating the optical ports at 88.2 or 96 kHz using
the ADAT format, also see "ADAT SMUX Type" on
page 48.
Main Outs Assign
Use the Main Outs Assign setting to determine
what audio you will hear on the TRS main outs of
the Traveler-mk3. By default, they of course are
64
assigned to the Analog Out 1-2 bus, but you can
assign them to mirror any other output bus you
wish.
Return Assign
In your OS X host audio software audio input
menus, you'll see an Traveler-mk3 input called
Return 1-2. This is a stereo feed from the
Traveler-mk3 that matches the signal of one of its
output pairs, or any mix bus output (when
operating at 44.1 or 48 kHz). Use the Return Assign
menu in MOTU Audio Setup to choose which
output pair or mix bus you would like to hear on
this return. This can be used, for example, to
record back a final stereo mix that includes effects
processing from the Traveler-mk3 DSP (such as the
Leveler) for reference and archiving purposes.
☛
Warning: the Return inputs can cause
feedback loops! DO NOT assign this input to a
track that shares the same Traveler-mk3 output
pair as the returns.
Reverb return
The Traveler-mk3 also supplies a return to your
host software that carries the output of its reverb
processor. This return can be used for any purpose
you wish.
