assigned to this output pair will be heard on the
headphone jack only. For further explanation, see
"Phones" on page 81.
CHANGING 828MKII SETTINGS
To change the 828mkII settings at any time, run the
MOTU FireWire Audio Console. See "The ASIO
Control Panel button" on page 82 for details. In
Nuendo, go to the Device Setup window and click
the ASIO Control Panel button, as shown in
Figure 11-3 on page 82.
PROCESSING LIVE INPUTS WITH PLUG-INS
If you patch a live input (such as MIDI synthesizer)
through a VST plug-in effect in Cubase, you might
hear a slight delay. There are several ways to reduce
this delay. For details, see chapter 12, "Reducing
Monitoring Latency" (page 89).
SYNCHRONIZATION
Cubase or Nuendo can run under its own transport
control or slave to SMPTE time code. It can also
perform sample-accurate digital audio transfers
with Alesis digital recorders and Tascam family
digital recorders.
As you read through the following sections to
decide what form of synchronization you might
need with other devices in your studio, be sure to
consult chapter 3, "Installing the 828mkII
Hardware" (page 17) for the proper hardware
connections. Use the synchronization diagrams in
that chapter to be clear about how you will be
synchronizing Cubase to the other components of
your system.
Running Cubase or Nuendo under its own
transport control
If you do not need to synchronize Cubase or
Nuendo with time code or another recording
device, such as a tape deck, just leave its SMPTE
time code synchronization features disabled.

However, even though Cubase or Nuendo is not
slaving to SMPTE time code, you still need to be
concerned with the synchronization of the
828mkII's digital audio clock with other devices
connected to it digitally (if any). For example, if
you have a digital mixer connected to an 828mkII
interface via an ADAT optical lightpipe cable, you
need to make sure that their audio clocks are
phase-locked. For details, see "Syncing optical
devices" on page 29 and "Making sync
connections" on page 22. If you don't have any
digital audio devices connected, digital audio
phase-lock does not apply to you.
Resolving Cubase or Nuendo and the 828mkII
to SMPTE time code
If you need to slave Cubase or Nuendo and the
828mkII to SMPTE time code, you can do so with
or without a dedicated synchronizer.
Resolving directly to time code (with no
synchronizer)
To resolve your 828mkII directly to SMPTE time
code with no additional synchronization devices,
use the setup shown in "Syncing to SMPTE time
code" on page 27.
First, set up Cubase or Nuendo for sample-accurate
sync as explained in "Sample-accurate sync to
ADAT or Tascam" on page 87. Make sure the Clock
Source setting in the MOTU FireWire Audio
Console window is set to SMPTE. Also, make sure
that you've connected an LTC input signal the
828mkII SMPTE input.
Resolving to video and/or time code with a
dedicated synchronizer
To resolve your 828mkII to video and/or SMPTE
time code using an additional synchronization
device, use the setup shown in "Syncing to video
and/or SMPTE time code using a synchronizer" on
page 28.
