Transferring From 410 To Dat, Monitoring With Dat - M-Audio Delta 410 Manual

Transferring from 410 to DAT, monitoring with DAT

1. Connect the Delta 410's S/PDIF Out to the DAT's coaxial S/PDIF
Input using a good quality cable.
2. Connect the DAT analog outputs to some type of amplified sound system.
The sound system should be equipped with speakers or headphones.
3. Because you will be playing back at the recorded sample rate, you will
want to set the Delta 410's master clock to use the 410 internal crystal.
Do this by opening the Hardware Settings page of the Delta Control
Panel software and under Master Clock, selecting "Internal Xtal."
Also, under the Codec Sample Rate section you may uncheck "Rate
Locked" if it is previously checked. This allows for more flexible
sample rate playback.
4. In order to verify proper S/PDIF Output routing, open the
Patchbay/Router page of the control panel software. In the "H/W Out
S/PDIF" column, select the radio button named "WavOut S/PDIF."
Now everything that is sent by your software to the "WavOut S/PDIF"
device will be routed to the hardware S/PDIF output, and
consequently to the DAT.
5. Next let's make sure the S/PDIF output format is correct. Open the
S/PDIF page of the control panel software. Under Digital Output
Format, choose "Consumer." Uncheck "Advanced" if it is checked
previously. Now click on the "Restore Defaults" button to set the
default S/PDIF outgoing status bits. This will disable copy protection
and also set the emphasis to "none," allowing the DAT to accept and
record the audio properly.
6. Within your recording software, select "WavOut S/PDIF Delta-410" as
the audio output device.
7. Start your DAT recording and then start your software playing. You
should be able to hear the DAT material through your sound system.
This verifies that the digital audio is making it into the DAT correctly.
