Opening the Delta Series Control Panel
PC users can access the Delta Control Panel by
The default settings for the Delta Control Panel will ensure that your software’s audio outputs 1/2 are routed to your Delta interface’s physical outputs 1/2, while software outputs 3/4 are routed to the physical outputs 3/4, and so on. However, the Control Panel will allow you to alter the output routings if necessary as well as to confi gure various other options (digital sync source, sample rate, buffer size, etc.) In many cases, there will be no need to change the default settings.
When it’s time to record an external source, such as a vocal, guitar track, or keyboard part, you will want to monitor your input. Monitoring will allow you to hear the signal being fed into the inputs while blending it with the output signals coming from the computer. This way, you can hear your own performance in the headphones as you play along to previously recorded parts playing back from your computer.
Start by selecting the Monitor Mixer radio button in the leftmost column of the Control Panel’s Patchbay/Router tab. This routes the Monitor Mixer’s output to the Delta interface’s physical outputs 1/2. You can now use the Monitor Mixer to adjust and mix signals from the analog and digital inputs, as well as signals entering the mixer from your audio software.
Note: Adjusting the levels in the Monitor Mixer does not affect the actual level of the signal being recorded into audio applications. Please adjust incoming signal levels at the sound source.
