after a quick review this is the best spot for this question but i'm probably wrong.




i've got a delta 44 soundcard and a eurorack mx 602A mic pre-amp. i used to directly plug my monitors into the OUTS on the delta breakout box, and i'd put the 'main outs' on the mic preamp in the INS on the delta breakout box. it works great - no lag whatsoever when using NI guitar rig. however, i know there has to be a better way to do it because i can't control the volume coming out of the monitors except by adjusting volume control in the recording program which is wrong. otherwise i blow out my speakers every time i forget to turn down the mains in the software.


so i'm thinking i plug the monitors into the 'main outs' on the eurorack, and run the breakout box in and outs through the phono 'tape in/outs' on the eurorack. i'd have to buy phono to 1/4" adapters which is a pain in the a$s in manila, so i thought i'd write to double check in the mean time.



the other question i had involves the NI drum program, battery 3. has all the little squares in the middle representing all the drums parts, which sound great, but i have no idea how to program them? can anybody give me a hint? you'd think it'd be the main feature of the program but i can't find it.
 
Looking at a picture of that little mixer, it looks like you could run your mic into channel 1 or 2, then send the aux send to one of the delta44's inputs (use the aux knob on the channel to turn it up, and leave the bottom level knob all the way down), then send the delta44 outs to one of the stereo channels (3/4 or 5/6) on the mixer, and use that channel's level, in combination with the main volume knob to control your monitors, which you'd hook up to the main outs on the mixing board. That will work if you only need to record one channel at a time.

As to the battery question - I'm not familiar with that particular drum synth (or whatever exactly it is), but I'd assume you control it with midi data. Make a midi track in your host, route it's output into battery, and open a drum editor for the midi track (or piano roll editor if your host doesn't have a drum editor) and start drawing some notes in there.
 
Thanks! I went with 'tape out' on the mixer and used channel 5/6 for the input, works nice. Using studio one 2. Hopefully theres a drum editor. Ive been recording acoustic for almost a decade because my distortion was horrible, but guitar rig sounds nice and normal! Time for rock n roll
 
Great success, high five! (I <3 Borat, lol :D)
