Track16 tab settings
The Track16 tab (Figure 5-1) provides settings that
apply to a specific Track16 interface. If you have
several Track16 (or other MOTU) interfaces
connected, you’ll see a separate tab for each one.
General tab settings
The General tab (Figure 5-1) provides settings that
apply to all connected MOTU FireWire and USB
Audio interfaces.
‘TRACK16’ TAB SETTINGS
Enable Core Audio Volume Controls
Under Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later,
enabling this option allows you to use the Mac’s
volume control, such as the Output volume slider
shown in Figure 5-2 on page 38, or the volume keys
on your Mac’s keyboard, to control the output level
of the Track16 when it is being used as the audio
output hardware for your Mac. The Default Stereo
Output setting (page 37) determines the stereo
outputs to be controlled by the Mac’s volume
controls.
Sample Rate
Choose the desired Sample Rate for recording and
playback. The Track16 can operate at 44.1 (the
standard rate for compact disc audio), 48, 88.2, 96,
176.4 or 192KHz. If you are operating at a sample
rate between 44.1 and 96kHz, make absolutely sure
that all of the devices connected digitally to the
Track16’ optical connectors match the Track16’s
sample rate. At the 4x sample rates (176.4 or
192kHz), optical I/O is disabled.
☛ Mismatched sample rates cause distortion and
crackling. If you hear this sort of thing, check the
sample rate settings in your hardware and here in
MOTU Audio Setup.
Figure 5-1: MOTU Audio Setup gives you access to all of the settings in the Track16 hardware.
