16. Press record on your software’s transport bar. Record a take of your guitar and

vocals. Understand that while recording, you are monitoring the Delta inputs

by way of the Monitor Mixer settings for H/W In 1/2, and according to the

selection of ‘Monitor Mixer’ within the Patchbay/Router page. At the same

time, your software is recording from H/W In 1/2 but at the levels that were set

up with the pre-amp.

17. When you are done playing, stop the recording software and rewind the take.

Before playing back what you’ve recorded, you will need to assign the

recorded tracks to output devices on the Delta 66.

Note: For efficiency’s sake, this step could have taken place

while you were setting up the re c o rding track assignments.

H o w e v e r, since this step only affects playback and does not

affect the recording setup in any way, we’ve placed it here to

lessen confusion.

Assign software track one to output device “WavOut 1/2 Delta-66” and pan the

track (within your software) all the way to the left (hard left). Then assign track two

to output device “WavOut 1/2 Delta-66” and pan the track all the way to the right

(hard right). Now, when you start playback, track one (guitar) will be sent to the

Delta software (WavOut) output 1, and track two (mic) to the Delta software

( WavOut) output 2. These two software outputs are inputs to the monitor mixer,

therefore the recorded guitar and mic channels will be sent to the monitor mixer,

levels will be modified by the mixer and the output of the mixer will be heard at

analog outputs 1 & 2.

18. Start playback from your software’s transport bar. Open the Delta Control

Panel and go to the Monitor Mixer page. Observe the meters at “WavOut 1/2”

– these are the playback levels of your guitar and mic. Adjust the faders and

mute controls so that you may hear the guitar and mic at the appropriate levels

and mix. These are the levels at which you may monitor the pre-recorded

tracks while you overdub (record other tracks while listening to the first)

additional parts.

Let’s assume that you like this take, and wish to overdub an additional guitar and a

harmony vocal. We can still use hardware inputs 1 & 2 of the Delta. We’re set up

to do so and there’s no reason to change these inputs. Let’s set ourselves up to

overdub these next two tracks. We will record the next two tracks of material to

tracks 3 & 4 of the software:

19. Back in your music program, set the ‘source’ or ‘input port’ to “Left PCM In

1/2 Delta-66” on track three, and “Right PCM In 1/2 Delta-66” on track four.

Arm the tracks for recording. Track three is now set up to record the guitar,

and track four the microphone. Usually at this point you would want to return

to the Delta Control Panel monitor mixer to set up levels. However, because
