M-AUDIO Delta RBUS - Manual (Page 41)

set your digital mixer to receive external sync. See Appendix C for more
information on this, and other choices you may have for synchronizing
the Delta R-BUS with your digital mixer. We suggest that you use the
Delta R-BUS’s Wordclock output on the breakout cable to send clock to
the digital mixer (if it has wordclock input), and set the external sync in
the digital mixer to receive its clock from the wordclock input. Use a
good quality, 75-ohm BNC to BNC cable.
6. Minimize the Delta Control Panel to the Windows taskbar or on your
Macintosh screen.
7. Open your music software program. Set up eight tracks for recording:
Track one -- Left PCM In 1/2 Delta-R-BUS
Track two -- Right PCM In 1/2 Delta-R-BUS
Track three -- Left PCM In 3/4 Delta-R-BUS
Track four -- Right PCM In 3/4 Delta-R-BUS
Track five -- Left PCM In 5/6 Delta-R-BUS
Track six -- Right PCM In 5/6 Delta-R-BUS
Track seven -- Left PCM In 7/8 Delta-R-BUS
Track eight -- Right PCM In 7/8 Delta-R-BUS
8. Now we want to set up the output ports for the eight tracks.
Track one -- WavOut 1/2 Delta-R-BUS, panned hard left.
Track two -- WavOut 1/2 Delta-R-BUS, panned hard right.
Track three -- WavOut 3/4 Delta-R-BUS, panned hard left.
Track four -- WavOut 3/4 Delta-R-BUS, panned hard right.
Track five -- WavOut 5/6 Delta-R-BUS, panned hard left.
Track six -- WavOut 5/6 Delta-R-BUS, panned hard right.
Track seven -- WavOut 7/8 Delta-R-BUS, panned hard left.
Track eight
-- WavOut 7/8 Delta-R-BUS, panned hard right.
9. Bring up the meter view in your music software, and check your input
levels here. Let’s say that your hardware input 1 is the kick drum mic.
Have the drummer play the kick drum and raise the gain on your
mixer’s input channel 1 until you see a level of –6dB or so. This is your
recording level. At the same time you can begin to raise the faders on
your mixer until you hear the kick drum at a comfortable volume.
This is your monitor level. Do the same for each instrument.
NOTE: You could view the record levels from the Monitor
Mixer page also. The levels appearing in H/W In 1/2 through
H/W In 7/8 will represent the signal appearing at the
hardware inputs. We are not monitoring via the Monitor
Mixer, however, so no fader levels in this page will apply or
are needed in this example.
