Have you been able to record with the card as of yet? I was planning to > buy an M Audio card until I found out So far yes, but have only done short tests. Have managed simultaneous record/playback/record monitoring. However if upon longer use I run into any issues, I'll comment in here. I guess I've been in "bumblebee" mode. I.e. I flew because I didn't know it's not possible for me to fly. (That's what I heard once about bees, supposedly physics would indicate that their bodies are too heavy for their wings)

I have the Delta 44, but I assume that the mixer is equivalent. The "Monitor Mixer" tab allows you to control a simple software mixer that allows sending any input or output signal to a 'control room' type stereo bus. If you select monitor mixer as the output source for channel one and two, then you will hear the output of this mixer on those channels, provided that you have raised some of the monitor mixer sliders corresponding to active input or output channels. This is your gateway to 'zero latency' monitoring of your input signals combined with your output signals (i.e. previous tracks). > > Why is it that the sound file output is louder when "Wave Out" is > selected in the Patchbay router than when "Monitor Mixer" is selected? The only reason would be that you have only partially raised the sliders in the monitor mixer. > The options under the device listings actually say M-Audio Delta, not > Audiophile. Apparently the Audiophile and Delta cards are very close > cousins? Essentially the same card? They are both based on the Envy24 chipset. The 24/96 differs from the Delta units in that it only uses two channels. I'm not surprised that Midiman just used the same software for both. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

I just got home from over a weak at the hospital. Ping me in a day or too and I'll explain it. Ricky Hunt

Except that mostly people use a similar "zero latency" loop-back function in their DAW software, or monitor inputs directly through an external mixing board. This is much more flexible, and makes the Delta monitor mixer redundant.

Isn't the Monitor Mixer used for duplex recording? I have a AP2496. I also have a FW410 and it's control panel doesn't look near as confusing. |
