I recently bought a used Rane MS1 mic pre. It has a single balanced xlr out. I'm trying to hook it up to the unbalanced line level inputs of my Delta 1010. For some reason, I can't get it to pass signal which makes me think it may be broken, but usually in these situations I'm missing some...

Hi, I need some help. I am trying to record by sending signal from the inserts to a Delta 1010 using an MG166cx mixer. Trouble is, there is no level control of the insert out signal that i can find, and oddly, even with the level all the way down on the gain and the fader, the signal is too hot...

Hi gang, I've got a small, oddly shaped room that I just got some treatment for. i'm trying to set it up. i added a sketchup pic with the drums where they are now. It's a low-ceilinged attic room, long, almost 30 ft. I'm thinking of ways to set it up efficiently. right now, my desk is located...

HI folks, I posted in another thread about doing an upgrade to my DAW. I got great advice and this is what I came up with. This is all to install in a 4u rack space. I already have sata drives, two monitors, and most importantly (and potentially problematic) an older Delta 1010. i am hoping the...

Hi, I have a delta 1010 installed in a computer in a rack mount case. I am looking to upgrade the components but want to make sure all is compatible etc. I need to be able to record 8 to 16 tracks simultaneously (usually 8 max), and then mix and playback with compression, verb, plugs etc. around...

HI, I've entered the murky world of DIY acoustics. I've been looking for a fabric that is cheaper than GOM but is still flame resistant and won't reflect high end. Here is what i came up with. http://www.rosebrand.com/product476/66-Polyester-Knit-IFR.aspx?cid=168&idx=6&tid=1&info=Plain%2bWeave...

Hi folks, I need some advice. I know the value and the complexity of room treatment, and I would like make changes to improve my drum recordings. I looked at lots of posts, but would like specific advice that consider my current restraints. I am recording in my finished attic space with drywall...

HI, Thanks largely to this community, I have recently expanded my setup to include a ramsa 8112 mixer. I was wondering how to monitor from a delta 1010's stereo output to this mixer's inputs and then to a pair of studio monitiors. I see that connections are provided that are sub mon/eff inputs...

Hi, My name is Michael Bishop and I am an ethnographer, a musicologist, and (for a few years now) a member of this board. I am wondering what the people on this board consider success to be. I admit that this is an academic inquiry, but I am also at a point in my own career when I could use the...

Hey folks, I am running Windows Me and using a Santa Cruz audio card (Dell OEM). I THINK I have Direct X 9.0 installed. I did not know it was in beta when I installed it. The M$ site said it was finished. Anyway, I was wondering if I could use Sonar 2.0 with this setup without conflicts. One...

OK folks, Here it is. Just did my taxes and luckily I have been allowed a "music budget" by my lovely wife of four years. After getting all the stuff I needed to get my bass gear up and running I am left with a grand total of $244. I am not trying to record anything for release. I just want to...

OK, Here it is... What I do with Cool Edit Pro is track bass, guitar and vocal lines on top of drum loops. I am talking like eight tracks max. OS: Windows ME (it sux but I am stuck with it) processor: Pentuim III 933 mhz. My sound card is the OEM version of the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz that...

Hey folks, A newbie here. What is the best solution for someone with about one hundred dollars and an abiding love for the bass guitar and singing to use for recording bass and vocals onto a hard disk (pc) multitrack setup? I have a (low-end but) decent soundcard and some good software. Now I...
