M-AUDIO Delta RBUS - Manual (Page 38)

4. In order to verify proper output routing, open the Patchbay/Router
page of the control panel software. In the "H/W Out 1/2, 3/4, 5/6,
and 7/8" columns, select the radio buttons named "WavOut 1/2, 3/4,
5/6, and 7/8." Now everything that is sent by your software to the
"WavOut 1/2 through 7/8" devices will be routed to the hardware
R-BUS output, and consequently to the Roland Multitrack.
5. Setting the Roland tracks to “record ready” will allow us to monitor
the Delta R-BUS signal at the Roland inputs. The signal at the Roland
inputs will show up at the Roland outputs, and consequently at the
Delta R-BUS inputs. Because of this, we can monitor in a similar
fashion to our “Roland to Delta R-BUS” setup, which is described in
the first part of this tutorial. (p.34)
6. Switch to the Patchbay/Router page of the Delta Control Panel
software. In the "H/W SP/ANA" column (the rightmost column),
select the radio button named "Monitor Mixer." 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. Set up a mix in a fashion similar to
that of the first part of this tutorial, unmuting channels, panning, and
bringing up faders until a desirable monitor mix is achieved.
7. Within your recording software, select "WavOut 1/2 Delta-R-BUS”
through “WavOut 7/8 Delta-R-BUS" as the audio output devices. If
you want a track to record onto the Roland’s track #1 (for example),
you’ll need to set the output device to "WavOut 1/2 Delta-R-BUS,”
and then pan that track hard left. To record onto Roland track #2, set
the output device to "WavOut 1/2 Delta-R-BUS,” and then pan that
track hard right. Continue setting up tracks in that fashion.
8. Start your Roland multitrack recording and then start your software
playing. You should be able to hear the material being recorded to the
Roland device through the Delta R-BUS analog outs, into your sound
system.
Typical Setup #2
This section contains a multitracking example illustrating another way to
use the Delta R-BUS and its control panel software. Rather than use a
Roland R-BUS digital multitrack machine, we will use a digital mixing
board with R-BUS I/O to record 8 tracks of digital audio through the
Delta R-BUS, and to monitor 8 tracks of digital audio from the Delta
R-BUS. Let’s assume that the mixer is an 8-buss (eight sends to the
recording device, which in this case is the Delta R-BUS and your
computer), and 12 (or even 16) mic/line inputs. The mixer is connected
to a sound system, or you can use the mixer’s headphone output(s).
