M-Audio Delta TDIF Инструкция по эксплуатации онлайн [36/58] 19006

Let’s say that we’re recording a band. We’ve got eight mics on the drum

set, with the guitar and bass going ‘direct’ into the digital mixer. We’re

going to combine some of the drums while recording, just to make it a

little more interesting. We have 8-busses in our digital mixer, and the

TDIF connection on the Delta TDIF PCI Audio Card is capable of eight

audio input and output streams. The guitar and bass will take up two of

these streams, so we have six left for the drums (we could have used just

six mics, but we’re not limited to that if we combine some of the drum

channels).

NOTE: Because improper connections can potentially make very

loud noises, it’s a good idea to have monitor levels down while

hooking up audio equipment. – Turn your computer off before

making the connections to the mixer, then mute all channels before

connecting the mics.

1. Connect the Delta TDIF’s 25-pin TDIF connector to the digital mixer’s

TDIF buss out/tape return connector, using a TDIF cable.

2. Plug the microphones into the mic inputs 1-8 of your digital mixer, and

place the mics around the drums in some strategic fashion (you may want

to consult a book on recording techniques). A logical suggestion would be:

kick, snare, hi-hat, hi-, mid-, and lo-toms, plus two overheads. Plug the

guitar and bass into direct boxes, and then into line inputs 9 & 10 of the

digital mixer.

3. Set up the digital mixer’s input channels 1 through 10 (those channels

with the mics and guitars plugged in) to send their signals to the mixer’s

eight busses. Do not select “stereo buss” for these channels, as they will be

monitored from the tape returns, which are the Delta TDIF’s outputs
