16. Press record on your softwareOs 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/WIn 1/2, and according to the
selection of �Monitor MixerOwithin the Patchbay/Router page. At the same
time, your software is recording from H/WIn 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 youOve recorded, you will need to assign the
recorded tracks to output devices on the Delta 66.
Note: For efficiencyOs 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, weOve placed it here to
lessen confusion.
Assign software track one to output device OWavOut 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 OWavOut 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 softwareOs transport bar. Open the Delta Control
Panel and go to the Monitor Mixer page. Observe the meters at OWavOut 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.
LetOs assume that you like this take, and wish to overdub an additional guitar and a
harmony vocal. W e can still use hardware inputs 1 & 2 of the Delta. W eOre set up
to do so and thereOs no reason to change these inputs. LetOs set ourselves up to
overdub these next two tracks. W e will record the next two tracks of material to
tracks 3 & 4 of the software:
19. Back in your music program, set the �sourceOor �input portOto OLeft PCM In
1/2 Delta-66� on track three, and ORight 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
