Delta 44 Recording Tutorials
In this section we will explore two sample setups for recording and playback using
the Delta44 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.
