9. In the Mixer Input column labeled "WavOut 1/2," click on each fader
handle and drag it up to the 0dB setting. Also, deactivate (uncheck)
each WavOut 1/2 mute box to unmute the channels. This will allow
us, once we've recorded into a music software program, to hear those
software outputs upon playback.
10. Using the scroll bar at the bottom of the control panel, scroll to the
right until you see the column labeled "H/W In 1/2." Strum the guitar,
and you should see an indication in the left meter, which represents
signal levels from the Delta analog input 1. Test the mic, and you
should see an indication in the right meter, which represents signal
levels from Delta hardware input 2.
11. Adjust the gain on the pre-amp so that you're seeing a good level on
the input meters, about –6dB to –3dB in the loudest parts (this is
playing it a safe because you don't want to hit 0dB and "clip" the
signal). Make similar adjustments for the microphone, using the right
fader. These are the levels at which the signals will be recorded.
12. Now let's set the levels at which you will monitor the mic and guitar
while recording. These are not to be confused with the levels that are
recorded by the software – these levels are merely monitor levels that
appear in the mixer outputs (in this case at Delta 410 analog outs 1 &
2). Click on the left fader handle of H/W In 1/2, and drag it about
halfway up. Strum the guitar. If it's not loud enough, bring it up all of
the way. If it is still not loud enough, you will have to raise the
listening level of your sound system. Make similar adjustments for the
microphone, using the right fader. You may want to set the pan
position to suit your needs.
