    Delta 44 help

    Can anyone tell me how I need to setup the Delta Control Panel to be able to record on all four channels at once? I can't, for the life of me, figure it out. In Reaper, an armed track only lets me choose Inputs 1 & 2 as sources. Thanks for your help!

    Alternatives to broadcast standards

    I'd like someday to get one of the big broadcasting dynamic mics for vocals (MD421, SM7, RE20, etc.). Sadly, even though they're considered affordable mics, they're out of my reach and will be for quite some time. Of course, my eyes are always peeled in the used market. Anyway, does anyone have...

    what made it "click" for you?

    All of my projects seem to be missing that certain "something". Even when they are as good as I can them, there's still something that they seem to lack. They just don't "pop" for me. What was it for you that made your projects start to "click"? When you started getting the sound that you were...

    USB mixers

    Does anyone use a USB mixer as an interface? I'm just looking for something I can use in the field to pick up a few tracks here and there with a laptop and then bring back to my main system. Any recommendations? Behringer Xenyx? Alesis Multimix? Others? Thanks!

    Vegas Pro 10?

    Does anyone use Vegas Pro 10 strictly as a DAW? The original version of Vegas (which I still use) was intended to be a multitrack editor, but it has now become more focused on video. I was wondering if it's worth upgrading to the newest version or if it's now useless as a multi-track audio...

    Asio?

    Can someone explain to me what ASIO is? I keep seeing a lot of talk about ASIO4ALL. How I'm supposed to know if I need ASIO4ALL? If I have a problem, how would I know that ASIO4ALL is the solution?

    Old Vegas

    I've been using the original version of Vegas. But I've been having difficulty because sometimes certain effects are available (like reverb) and then all of the sudden on a different project they are not. I know this is old software and I'm trying to switch to Reaper but I can't make that work...

    Help. I'm a dummy.

    I'm trying to switch from the old, original version of Vegas to start using Reaper. Are there any really basic tutorials to get started? I can't even get it to play a track. I can't record anything with it. I've looked on the Reaper forums and haven't found anything to help me. ???

    Dented Balls!

    I recently acquired a Shure Brothers Unisphere I PE-56D. It works well and I like it. But the ball is pretty hammered out of shape. Anyone have any techniques for getting it back into proper shape? I know I can purchase a replacement mic ball, but I would like to keep the original if possible...

    more Delta 44 questions for a total dummy

    I've had my Delta 44 for more than 10 years now and I know I am not using it to it's potential. I think the 44 is capable of recording 4 tracks simultaneously, but I have only ever recorded a max of 2 at a time. In my DAW I only have the choice on each track of left or right (1/2). I can't...

    Not Really Looking For Promotion

    I'm not interested in being a rock star. I just want to publish some songs I've recorded and I want to do it properly. Got a few questions: 1. Should I join BMI or ASCAP? 2. How can I copyright arrangements of public domain works? 3. I have a song which is public domain lyrics set to a...

    Newb electronics questions

    1. How can I estimate the power output of a tube amplifier without a schematic? I know that it uses two 6V6 output tubes and 6SL7, 6SJ7, 6SC7 preamp/gain stage tubes. 2. How can I determine the load impedence that the same amplifier is expecting? 3. How can I make a 4 ohm speaker appear as an...

    Bogen VP17X

    This was a portable turntable of 1950's vintage, I believe. The turntable is long gone now, but I have the original amplifier section and it is in decent working order. I can't seem to find a schematic (other than a photocopy that I would have to pay for). I've been playing my guitar through it...

    Not for a studio

    Maybe this is the wrong area, but it seemed best to me. My oddly-shaped church sanctuary has some weird dead spots and hot spots. Like many churches, when it was built and the audio system installed, it was never designed for a contemporary worship band. It was designed more along the lines of...

    new windscreen for old mic

    I'm cleaning up an original Shure Brothers Unidyne 556S and the foam windscreen/pop filter has completely disintegrated. Any idea where I could get a replacement? Or another material I could put in there instead?

    Need help with Delta 44

    I posted this in another section, but got no response. I cannot get stereo sound out of my Delta 44. The M-Audio control panel shows output on both channels (Outputs 1 & 2). I don't have monitors, all I have is regular 2.1 computer speakers that use a 1/8 inch stereo jack. I have tried adapters...

    help with Delta 44

    I have an M-Audio Delta 44 that I have been very happy with for a number of years. But I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to make it produce stereo sound. I don't have studio monitors, so I need it to go to a 1/8 in. TRS jack. I have tried Y-cables and adapters with no success. The...

    a few more noob questions

    Long post. I have a few issues that I've just been accepting and working around for a long time now and I need to get them resolved. I am using a Behringer XENYX1202fx into an M-Audio Delta 44 recording with Vegas Pro (the old original outdated Vegas Pro). First of all, the Delta 44 disables...
