M-AUDIO Delta TDIF - Manual (Page 42)

6. Within your recording software, select "SP/ANA In Delta-TDIF," as
the audio input device. The Delta input appears as a stereo pair, or as
left and right inputs (see the section, “Using the Delta TDIF with your
Music Software Application”).
7. Start your software recording and then start your DAT material
playing. You should be able to hear the DAT material through your
sound system.
8. Once you have recorded your tracks, set the music software’s output
port to WavOut SP/ANA. Go into the Delta Control Panel
“Patchbay/Router” page, and set the H/W Out SP/ANA column to
play “WavOut SP/ANA. This will connect your software outputs to
the Delta TDIF’s Analog and S/PDIF hardware outputs, allowing you
to monitor playback from the analog outs. Rewind, and playback
your recorded material.
Transferring from Computer to DAT, monitoring with
DAT
1. Connect the Delta TDIF’s S/PDIF Out to the DAT’s coaxial S/PDIF
Input using a good quality digital cable.
2. Connect the DAT analog outputs to some type of amplified sound
system. The sound system should be equipped with speakers or
headphones. You could, conceivably, continue to monitor via the
Delta TDIF’s analog outputs, since the signal sent to the S/PDIF out is
duplicated at the analog outs. However, it is often better to monitor
the DAT, since any problems occuring at the DAT will be heard when
monitoring the DAT.
3. Because you will be playing back at the recorded sample rate, you will
want to set the Delta TDIF’s master clock to use the internal crystal.
Do this by opening the Hardware Settings page of the Delta Control
