Logic Audio and MOTU Audio Interfaces

These are basic instructions to help get you started with Logic Audio while using a MOTU Audio interface.

Make sure no programs are running when you begin. For Macintosh users: Open your Logic folder. Create a new folder with the exact name of ASIO Drivers.

From the AudioDesk Installer, you can choose Custom Install. Select the PCI-324 ASIO driver and it will be installed to the ASIO Drivers folder in your Logic Folder.

For PC users: When you run the Motu Audio installer you will be prompted to install the ASIO and/or Wave driver. The ASIO driver is installed into the Windows > System Folder.

Open the PCI-324 Console. Set the Clock source to Internal ( when working with analog). Pick a sample rate. Assign one bank to Analog. Enable all 8 inputs. Then assign the output source as "From Computer". If "Enable Routing" is unchecked you will not see the extra menus for inputs and outputs and we enable the inputs and outputs for you. For additional connections with digital devices you can refer to your 2408 manual as well as the Auto Setup Wizard for further instructions. For now, this basic configuration will get you going.

The following steps will help get you started in Logic Audio.

1.) From the File menu choose Preferences and go to Audio Extensions. Click on the arrow next to ASIO to display the ASIO driver information. Here you can choose PCI-324 as your ASIO driver. You can also assign the Clock Source and the number of tracks in this window.

2.) In the Environment Window, under Audio, you can set a track's Device setting to ASI, which stands for ASIO.

3.) You can set the input and output of each track from the Audio Mixer in the Environment window. If you have one bank of the 2408 enabled in the PCI 324 Console, the ins and outs will be numbered in Logic from 1-8.
