*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

there's always something...

:(

So I got my nifty set-up goin'.. where I can listen through the speakers or the headphones by just changing one setting in N-track... and guess what the problem with that is????

the metronome...

:mad:

Even though I can listen to my tracks through the headphones (which are plugged in to the Delta) I still hear the metronome through the speakers.. which is not a good thing, obviously. The metronome is driven by the Windows settings,.. not the N-track settings... so in order to hear the metronome through the headphones, I have to set the defauly playback device in Windows to be the Delta 44.. in which case everything else on the computer is played back through the Delta... so much for the great idea.. it still works, technically.. but now, whenever I want to record, I have to change my windows settings to the Delta and then when I'm done I have to change it back...

if only there was a way to choose which output device the Midi was played to... oh well...

Regarding that screenshot you posted...why are all the channels muted ? The 'monitor mixer' I am talking about is on the Delta controller in your screenshot...in the tab called 'Pathbay/Router', just set the output to 'monitor mixer', and unmute everything.

You're right, your mixer has no channel inserts...just use the main left out for mono and make sure the channel your signal is going into is panned fully left.

You've got an onboard six channel soundcard ? What kind of system do you have ? What is the soundcard ?

Nathans right. I can tell you that with the mixer input channels muted as per your screenshot, you do not have the monitor mixer enabled. You have the Wav out checked instead.

Go to Patchbay/router and check monitor mixer.

I assume you have a delta 66+omni?
 
My Soyo Dragon Plus mobo comes with six channel onboard sound... (it's actually quite nice)... that's what i was previously using...

As for that screen shot... all I know is.. I have sound coming out of my Delta 44.. When I plug stuff into it,.. I can get a signal.. I don't know what the difference would be if I changed it to "Monitor Mixer".. (right now it's set to "WavOut 1/2"). I still don't understand this stuff at all.

See... I sort of understand what you're saying about running the signal back to the mixer... but since my mic is plugged straight into the mixer, I get the live sound from the mic, as well as what's coming back from the mixer... so it's a little too messy...

well... I finally figured out what you guys were talking aboot...

i turned on the "Monitor Mixer" option and now I can control the levels going out to my headphones... It works out quite nicely..

I tried that whole "pan left and run the outs to the Delta and then back to the mixer" thing... but then the metronome (which runs through the Delta) was showing up in the mix somehow... I couldn't figgure out why... and didn't care. :) since I could just go back to plugging my headphones directly into the Delta and it solved the problem...

I am one pathetic newbie... :p

'd say, hire McGyver.
He would make a bazooka from a can of beans and compared to that this would be peanuts.
