Basically i wanna be able to Monitor myself while recording in REAL TIME Killing the Latency by having the Istrumental play directy from my Mixer but i dont know how to set my shit up and they guy at Guitar Center was really an ass to me. My Monitors are Analog and Digital. I was told that i'd wanna have it setup to where i Monitor in Analog and Mix in Digital.

Im a Complete Noob when it comes to setting these things up so plz don't confuse me

Also do you think i'd get some kick ass quality with this setup?
 
If your using the behringer preamps then yeah, mic to mixer to input on delta.

If your using the meek, mic to meek to input on delta.

I'd set it up something like this:

- Outputs 1 and 2 of the delta to a stereo channel on the behringer, probably channel 7/8 9/10 11/12 if it's something like a mackie. Lets say channel 11/12

For recording:

- If using the behringer pre's, Mic to Mixer pre and out to an input on the delta.
- If using the Meek, Mic to Meek to an input (lets say input 4) on delta, monitor by taking output 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 (your choice, pick one, lets say 8) back into a spare channel (lets say CH 8) on the mixer. In the delta control panel, configure the routing so that output 8 on the delta is 'listening' to input 4, which is the meek.

- So, when using the meek, you control the signal strength going to the delta with the gain controls on the meek, setting an appropriate level by looking at the meters in your software (as well as on the meek).

- You monitor the level of just the meek by moving the fader on CH 8 up, or down.
- You control the level of the backing tracks (the output of your software, 1 & 2) with CH 11/12

Breakdown:

Delta Outputs 1 & 2 to inputs 11/12 on the mixer
Mic to Meek to Input 4 on Delta
Delta output 8, back into channel 8 on the mixer

CH 11/12 on the mixer controls the mix level from your software, i.e. what you already recorded.
CH 8 on the mixer controls the monitor level of whatever you have plugged into the meek.

This is one way, there are others that may or may not be better all depending.

As for your speakers, I suppose you could use the digital outs 9/10 on the delta via sp/dif and go digital to them that way. Or go out the stereo mix outputs on the mixer into the analog inputs of the powered speakers. What ever works better, may have to try both.

As far as 'kick ass quality', that's impossible to answer. Depends on your skill levels, expectations, style of music etc. It's fun though whatever the outcome. (usually).
