828mkII settings in Mac OS X
In Mac OS X, choose the 828mkII as your audio
input output device by choosing MOTU Audio
System options>Configure Hardware Driver from
the Setup menu. This window shows some of the
828mkII settings, such as sample rate and clock
source, but to access all of the 828mkII settings,
open the MOTU FireWire Audio Console, as
shown in Figure 5-1 on page 42.
Figure 8-2: Under Mac OS X, choose Setup menu> Configure Audio
System> Configure Hardware Driver to open the dialog shown above
and access the 828mkII CoreAudio driver. To access the rest of the
828mkII settings, open the MOTU FireWire Audio Console.

For complete details about the 828mkII settings,
see chapter 5, "MOTU FireWire Audio Console
(Mac OS X)" (page 41) or chapter 6, "MOTU
FireWire Control Panel (Mac OS 9)" (page 47).
The following sections provide a brief explanation
of each 828mkII setting for use with Digital
Performer.
Sample rate
Choose the desired overall sample rate for the
828mkII system and Digital Performer. Newly
recorded audio in Digital Performer will have this
sample rate. Imported audio or soundbites in
existing files that do not match this sample rate will
be displayed in the Soundbites window with a red
'X' on its move handle to indicate that it cannot be
played.
Clock Source
This setting is very important because it
determines which audio clock the 828mkII will
follow.
If you do not have any digital audio connections to
your 828mkII (you are using the analog inputs and
outputs only), and you will not be slaving Digital
Performer to external SMPTE time code, choose
Internal.
If you are slaving the 828mkII to the ADAT sync
Input connector, choose ADAT 9-pin.
If you are slaving the 828mkII and Digital
Performer to SMPTE time code via the 828mkII
itself, choose SMPTE and follow the directions in
"Syncing to SMPTE time code" on page 27.
If you have digital audio devices connected to the
828mkII, or if you are not sure about the clock
source of your setup, be sure to read "Making sync
connections" on page 22 and "Clock Source" on
page 42.
