I'm looking at getting an M-Audio Delta 1010 for the music workstation I'm building and have a few questions about supporting hard/software requirements. Does the 1010 route all ten inputs discretely into the PCI interface such that there is no need for a hardware mixer to process the inputs? If so, what software provides the best alternative to an eight channel mixer? Are the outputs assignable or are they tied to their respective inputs? What other hardware do I need aside from input sources, cables, balanced to 1/4" TIP adapters, amplifier(s) and speakers to handle 8 channel recording/playback? -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
