M-AUDIO Delta RBUS - Manual (Page 51)

Track one is now set up to record the guitar, and track two the
microphone. If your software requires this, set the software’s clock
source to ‘Audio.’
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 SP/ANA, 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 SP/ANA (with Analog” selected as the active
input) 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 R-BUS.
Note: For efficiency’s sake, this step could have taken place
while you were setting up the recording track assignments.
However, 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 1 to output device "WavOut SP/ANA Delta-
R-BUS" and pan the track (within your software) all the way to the
left (hard left), or wherever you find it appropriate between left and
center. Then assign track 2 to output device "WavOut SP/ANA
Delta-R-BUS" and pan the track all the way to the hard right, or
wherever you find it appropriate between right and center. Now,
when you start playback, track one (guitar) will be sent to the Delta
software (WavOut SP/ANA Left), and track two (mic) to Delta
software output 10 (WavOut SP/ANA Right). 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
the analog outputs.
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 SP/ANA" – 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 analog inputs of the Delta.
