M-AUDIO Delta RBUS - Manual (Page 36)

6. In the Monitor Mixer page, scroll to the right until you see the H/W
inputs for R-BUS channels 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8. Unmute tracks in
succession, and raise the fader level until you begin to hear sound
from the analog outputs through your sound system. You may choose
to engage the “Stereo Link” switch, and raise or lower faders in stereo
pairs. You may pan tracks, and basically set up a mix for monitoring
purposes. These levels are “pre-fader,” and will not affect your
recording levels. Since this is a digital transfer, if your Roland tracks
were recorded properly, the levels you see in the Delta’s monitor
mixer and consequently within your music software should be fine.
7. Within your recording software, you’ll need to set up eight tracks for
recording, assuming that your Roland multitrack recording contains
eight tracks. This could be done with eight mono tracks or four stereo
tracks, but for this example we will use eight mono tracks. Select
"PCM In Left 1/2 Delta-R-BUS," as the audio input device, then “PCM
In Right 1/2 Delta-R-BUS,” then “PCM In Left 3/4,” “PCM In Right
3/4,” etc. If you are using ASIO, these input devices will appear with
different names. Consult the section, “Using the Delta R-BUS With
Your Music Software.”
8. Start your software recording and then start your Roland multitrack
material playing. You should be able to hear the multitrack material
through your sound system while the music software records the
transfer from the Roland multitrack.
This setup would also allow us to perform a R-BUS to S/PDIF transfer in real
time. Remember that the signal at the analog output is duplicated at the
S/PDIF output. Our mix that is set up in the Delta Control Panel’s Monitor
Mixer can be output to a S/PDIF capable device (such as a DAT) while
staying in the digital domain.
