Using this setup, you will be able to record from the Omni Mic/Instr inputs,
monitoring the H/W inputs while you record, and then monitor the tracks once
they are recorded. All of these signals will enter the Omni mixer on channels 1
and 2. You can add effects (see section 10.6) to these channels while you are
recording (the effect will not be recorded). Playing back the recorded tracks on
these same two Omni channels will give you the same amount of effects on each
channel.
NOTE: Once you have recorded some basic tracks, you may want
to switch the software output setting in your music software to
WavOut Delta 3/4 (or ASIO 3 and 4). These will then enter the Omni
mixer on channels 3 and 4, which allows you to add effect and set
playback levels independent of the signals you are recording. If
you’ve set your playback levels in the software (setting the Monitor
Mixer H/W Out levels to the maximum), then your playback levels
will be identical.
B. When recording using the Line Ins:
1. In the Delta panel’s Patchbay/Router page, set H/W Out 1/2 to “Monitor
Mixer” (make sure that H/W Out 3/4 is set to “WavOut 3/4”).
2. In the Delta panel’s Monitor Mixer page, unmute the channels for H/W In
3/4. Raise the faders all the way to full level (this setting will not affect
record levels). You will later use these faders to adjust listening level after
“Setting Record Levels” in section 10.3. Pan each channel as desired (if these
are mono instruments, you might want to pan them to the center).
3.
In the Monitor Mixer page, unmute the channels for H/W Out 1/2, and
raise the faders to full level.
4. Set the audio track’s source in your music software according to the chart in
section 10. Set the same track’s output ports to WavOut Delta 1/2 (or ASIO
Out 1 and 2), and pan them in a fashion similar to the inputs in your
Monitor Mixer page.
NOTE: Most of the time, recording is done in an “overdub” style.
See section 12.2 for more information on recording using the
Mic/Instr and Line Ins at the same time.
With the Omni, keep in mind that all four Delta outputs are connected to the
inputs of the Omni mixer. That means, that if you have a signal at the Delta
H/W Outs 3/4, and you also have the H/W Out 3/4 signal present (faders up)
in the Delta panel “Monitor Mixer” (which is output to Delta H/W Outs 1/2),
