Delta 1010 User Guide

<MIXER INPUTS: The Mixer Input channels are found to the right of the Master Volume section. These channels receive audio directly from Delta 1010’s analog and digital inputs as well as from the outputs of your audio software. This allows you to mix your incoming signals with your previously recorded tracks to create a hardware monitor mix that is virtually free of the delay (or “latency”) that is inherent in all software-based digital mixing systems.

NOTE: The VU meters in the Mixer Input section are “pre-fader.” This means that the meters display the incoming signal before the signal passes through the faders. Since the VU meters are pre-fader,making adjustments to a fader will have no impact on the levels displayed on its corresponding meter. The input meters have been set up in this way so that you will always see the “true” incoming signal levels. This helps you set optimum output levels on devices that are connected to Delta 1010, regardless of how the faders may be set up in the Monitor Mixer.

Because of the large number of mixer inputs, not all inputs are displayed simultaneously. The scroll bar at the bottom of the Mixer Input section allows you to scroll through the various inputs.

The inputs are labeled (from left to right): “WavOut 1/2” through “WavOut 7/8,” then “WavOut S/PDIF.” These inputs accept the digital audio streams being sent from your audio application to the driver devices with those same names. These names begin with “WavOut” to remind you that these are software streams and may not necessarily be routed to any physical outputs (see Patchbay/Router Page).

Further to the right are more channels, labeled “H/W In S/PDIF” and “H/W In 1/2” through “H/W In 7/8.” These mixer inputs are audio streams from the physical Delta 1010 hardware inputs.

<PAN: Each mixer input may be individually panned from left to right using the horizontal slider beneath the channel’s volume fader.

<SOLO: Each mixer input channel features a “Solo” checkbox. When a channel’s Solo box is checked, all other channels will be temporarily muted and only the “soloed” channel will be heard. Deactivating all solo boxes will return all input channels to their previous mute/unmute states.

Note that it is possible to solo more than one channel at a time on the Monitor Mixer. If more than one channel is soloed, all solo channels will be heard while all channels that are not soloed will be muted. To return to normal operation, uncheck all Solo boxes.
