[linux-audio-user] delta44 and direct recording

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello All

I'm evaluating a Delta44 sound card to use with Ardour and Audacity 
(Audacity until Ardour stabilizes, and maybe afterward). I've grabbed the 
manual for the 44 from the M-Audio site to check it out. The 2 example 
recording layouts they provide in the manual require an M-Audio 'Audio 
Buddy' (or something like it) to get a proper line level.

now, I've been recording with my SBLive for a coupla years now and my 
guitar multi-effects pedal has given me the line level Ive needed. Will I 
actually need one of these Audio Buddy preamps? What have been the 
experiences here with and without them? Any? Also, I'll be adding a 
Behringer mixer to the setup - will I be able to drive the appropriate 
levels into the Delta44 from mic'ed guitar, bass, drums and vocals?

Do I really need this Audio Buddy thing? It seems rather odd that it would 
be required and not a word about it spoken on the Dellta44's website.

It was my intention to run all the instruments into the mixer (e.g. the 
Behringer UB1204) and then from the mixer to the inputs on the Delta44. Is 
this idea flawed?

Advice appreciated. I'm willing to spend a few bucks on the card and mixer 
but I want to make sure I'm getting what I want. 

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions - JB
