Delta 44 Recording Tutorials

In this section we will explore two sample setups for recording and playback using the Delta 44 Digital Recording Interface. This is by no means an exhaustive tutorial but its intent is to help you understand most of the Delta 44’s feature set. Before beginning, you should open your music software and profile the Delta 44, enable its drivers, or otherwise setup the software for operation with the Delta 44.

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 44’s inputs.
