Notice that if we continue to overdub past track 8, we run out of WavOut devices
to assign to. In this case, you may want to do some of your level mixing within
the software application if it supports it. Most applications will allow you to
assign more than one track to an output device and then set the relative levels of
the tracks within the software, letting the software do the mixing. In this
example you could have assigned all of the playback tracks to "WavOut 1/2" and
let the software handle the mix.
Typical Setup #2
This section contains a multi-tracking example illustrating another way to use the
Delta 1010 and its control panel software. We’re going to use multiple inputs
and multiple outputs, so a mixing console that will handle multiple inputs must
be used on the output side of the Delta 1010. A discussion of mixing consoles
and their use will follow in Appendix B. For simplicity in this example we’ll use
pre-amps to get the signal to the Delta 1010, and a mixer connected to a sound
system to handle the multiple outputs.
Let’s say that we’re recording a band. We’ve got 6 mics on the drum set, with the
guitar and bass going ‘direct’ into the pre-amps.
NOTE: Because improper connections can potentially make very
loud noises, it’s a good idea to have monitor levels down while
hooking up audio equipment – you may choose to turn your
computer off before making the connections.
1. Plug the microphones into the mic inputs 1-6 of the pre-amps, and place
around the drums in some strategic fashion (you may want to consult a book
