Audiophile 2496 Recording Tutorial; Typical Setup - M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 Manual

"Save,"or "Save as." A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name the current
configuration. Once you have done so, click the Save button. To save the current settings
as your default, go to the File menu and choose "Save as Preferences."
In the upper right-hand corner of the control panel is a "H/W Installed" drop-down
list. At the time of this writing, the Delta Mac ASIO drivers will support only a single
Delta device, and of course the Sound Manager will support only one stereo pair
regardless of how many audio cards are installed in your system. The H/W Installed
list will display "Audiophile 2496 is the active device in the control panel."

Audiophile 2496 Recording Tutorial

In this section we will explore a sample setup for recording and playback using the
Audiophile 2496 Digital Recording Interface. This is by no means an exhaustive
tutorial but its intent is to help you understand most of the Audiophile's feature set.
Before beginning, you should open your music software and profile the
Audiophile 2496, enable its drivers, or otherwise setup the software for operation
with the Audiophile 2496.
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.
substitute "SM/ASIO" for Delta Control Panel references to
"WavOut."

Typical Setup

Let's look at a setup that involves a typical transfer of information from DAT to
computer and back to DAT. Here, we'll be using the Audiophile's S/PDIF I/O along
with the analog output stereo pair.
NOTE: Because improper connections can potentially make very
loud noises, it's a good idea to have monitor levels down while
hooking up audio equipment — you may even choose to turn your
computer off before making the connections.
In this example, we will connect a DAT to the Audiophile 2496 break-out cable's
S/PDIF connectors using coaxial S/PDIF cables (75-ohm impedance RCA-to-RCA).
We'll also connect the Audiophile's analog outputs to a sound system for monitoring
purposes. A setup like this might be used to transfer a number of mixes from a DAT
into an audio editing program, performing the appropriate edits, and then
transferring the edited material back to DAT.
