CoreAudio tab (OS X only)
In OS X, you can specify how the FW-1082 should appear to the operating system:
Figure 5.3: Core Audio tab for OS X
The options available are as follows:
10-input/4-outputAll analog input channels are used, and the analog monitor outputs are enabled. The S/PDIF input channels become channels 9 and 10, and the S/PDIF output channels become two additional output channels.
4-input/4-outputSelect either the first four ana- log input channels (with the integrated mic pre-amps) or the first two analog channels and the S/PDIF input channels as inputs.
The outputs are the analog monitor outputs and the digital S/PDIF digital output pair.
2-input/2-outputSelect a pair (1-2, 3-4 etc.) of analog inputs or the digital S/PDIF inputs as the input pair.
Select either the analog outputs, or the S/PDIF digital outputs as the output pair.
TIP
In order to optimize the load on your CPU, you should configure the FW-1082 for your situation. If you are making a live stereo recording using the FW-1082, there is little point in configuring a 10-in/4-out device, for example.
