Delta 66 Recording Tutorials

In this section we will explore a few sample setups for recording and playback using the Delta 66 Digital Recording Interface. This is by no means an exhaustive tutorial but its intent is to help you understand most of the Delta 66’s feature set. Before beginning, you should open your music software and profile the Delta 66, enable its drivers, or otherwise setup the software for operation with the Delta 66.

NOTE: All of these examples refer to the Windows MME driver names. If you’re using ASIO or Apple Sound Manager drivers, you’ll need to substitute the appropriate driver names when referring to software inputs or outputs. On the Macintosh, substitute “SM/ASIO” for Delta Control Panel references to “WavOut.”

Typical Setup #1

Let’s assume for this setup that we’re recording a single guitar and vocal, then overdubbing another guitar and vocal track while listening to the first tracks. The following diagram shows a microphone pre-amp and direct box being used (in this case, the Audio Buddy™ by Midiman), and a stereo sound system. The pre-amp and direct box are required for the mic and guitar. Many instruments, such as MIDI modules or keyboards, may be connected directly to the Delta 66’s inputs.

NOTE: Because improper connections may potentially make very loud noises, it’s a good idea to have all monitor levels set low or muted while hooking up audio equipment — you may even choose to turn your computer off before making the connections.
