Knowing your hardware's clock source setting is imperative. Selecting one of these options insures your unit will not drift apart from other audio streams during playback or recording. Considering this, you will find "Built-In Input" (for resolving your hardware to your computer's Built-In Input), and any other connected MOTU or third-party interface listed.

Note Mac OS X Users: MOTU's Universal Audio Driver allows your USB or FireWire device to resolve directly to another CoreAudio driver.

Keep in mind, it is here where you can also generate SMPTE timecode, and utilize your MOTU hardware not only as an audio interface, but as a digital audio synchronizer as well.

Use the MOTU SMPTE Setup (Mac OS X) / MOTU SMPTE Console (Win) application for configuration. This allows your unit to resolve to any SMPTE timecode source, such as a multitrack tape deck.

SMPTE: Nearly every piece of MOTU hardware can resolve to SMPTE time code (LTC) through an analog quarter-inch (TRS) input.

Note: ADAT Optical or TOSLink will only appear as an option if it is enabled as the Optical Input format for one of your unit's Optical Bank(s). Choosing one of these options will sync your unit to the clock provided by the digital input.

S/PDIF, ADAT Optical, TOSLink: Depending on your unit's I/O configuration, you may find several options referencing the digital inputs on your hardware.

For the latter, set Unit A's clock source to Internal, (as its clocking information will be broadcast through the Word Clock Output), which Unit B can resolve to if its clock source is set to "Word Clock In". Selecting this option allows your interface to slave to a connected external clock, be that a standalone Word Clock Generator, or even another MOTU interface equipped with Word Clock BNC Connectors.

Word Clock In: If your hardware has a BNC Word Clock Input, you will find a "Word Clock In" option.

If you don't need to reference an external clock, record digital inputs, or perform any digital audio transfers, Internal is the choice you are looking for. Also, when using your MOTU hardware as the master clock source, "Internal" is the appropriate choice.

Using this setting, your hardware operates under its own digital audio clock, and is the appropriate choice when recording only analog inputs, or when simply playing audio tracks from disk.

Internal: Internal is the default clock setting, and is an available option for all interfaces.

Check out the Product Manuals page to read up on the specifics of your hardware. Keep in mind, the options you see will vary based on which audio interface you are using. Here is a quick run-down of the choices you might have available. The clock source setting determines which digital audio clock is being used as your hardware's time base. Often misunderstood, arguably your hardware's most important setting is "Clock Source". After successfully running the Universal Audio Installer, (found on the Downloads Page), reach for the appropriate application to adjust settings like sample rate and output assignments. In Failsafe mode, the Nanoclocks is a distributor that monitors the two inputs and performs an automatic switchover of all 12 outputs if the primary Word Clock signal present at the inputs should be interrupted.Your MOTU hardware operates based on the settings made in the MOTU Audio Setup (Mac OS X) / MOTU Audio Console (Win) application.

In Generator mode, Nanoclocks supports 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192kHz, and Super Clock sample rates. Input A supports sample rates from 32 to 100 kHz, while input B handles sample rates between 32 and 200 kHz, including Super Clock (Fs x256). In Distributor Mode, Word Clock inputs can be routed individually to each of the 12 outputs. Brightly lit LEDs show incoming sample rates for each input and routing status for the outputs. 2 Word Clock inputs and 12 outputs are controlled by a programmable output matrix.
