Specifications

In the upper righthand 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 “Delta 66 as the active device in the control panel.”

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

re f e r ring to software inputs or outputs. On the Macintosh,

substitute “SM/ASIO” for Delta Control Panel re f e rences to

“ Wa v O u t . ”

Typical Setup #1

L e t ’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.
