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.
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.
