7. Each unused PCI slot should have a metal bracket that covers the slot’s accompanying access hole on the rear of the computer. Select one available PCI slot and remove its metal bracket. Be sure to save the bracket screw (brackets are usually held in place by one screw) as you will need it later.
Note: Note: Some of your motherboard’s PCI slots may
be sharing resources with some of your computer’s other components (e.g. the USB controller or the AGP slot). This may result in performance issues that are often difficult to pin down and resolve. As a preventive measure, please check your motherboard’s documentation in order to find an available PCI slot that does NOT internally share resources.

Connecting Your Equipment to the Delta 1010

< Delta 1010 has a total of 10 outputs which
can be used for a variety of purposes. By default, analog outputs 1 and 2 serve as your “main” outputs. Connect channels 1 and 2 to the left and right inputs of your mixer, powered speakers, or other audio destination.
< Delta 1010 accepts line-level signals.
Connect your line-level instruments (keyboards, mixers, etc.) to any available input on the rack-mount box. If you wish to record microphones or the direct output of an electric guitar, bass, or other instrument­level device, you must first raise the signal to line-level using a preamplifier.
< If you own any devices with S/PDIF or
Word Clock inputs or outputs, connect these devices to the appropriate S/PDIF and Word Clock connectors on the interface. The S/PDIF jacks are located on the PCI Host Adapter Card while the Word Clock connectors are found on the back of the rack-mount portion of the interface.

For more detailed information about all of the available inputs and outputs, please refer to the Delta 1010 User Guide located
on the Delta Series CD-ROM.

Opening the Delta Series Control Panel

PC users can access the Delta Control Panel by double-clicking the M-Audio icon in the system tray on the lower right of the screen
5
.
Mac OS X users can open the Control Panel by clicking the M-Audio icon found in the System Preferences panel 6.
The default settings for the Delta Control Panel will ensure that your software’s audio outputs 1/2 are routed to Delta 1010’s physical outputs 1/2, software outputs 3/4 are routed to the physical outputs 3/4, and so on. However, the Control Panel will allow you to alter the output routings if necessary as well as to confi gure various other options (digital sync source, sample rate, buffer size, etc.) In many cases, there will be no need to change the default settings.
When it’s time to record an external source, such as a vocal, guitar track, or keyboard part, you will want to monitor your input. Monitoring will allow you to hear the signal being fed into the inputs while blending it with the output signals coming from the computer. This way, you can hear your own performance in the headphones as you play along to previously recorded parts playing back from your computer.
Start by selecting the Monitor Mixer radio button in the leftmost column of the Control Panel’s Patchbay/Router tab. This routes the Monitor Mixer’s output to the Delta 1010’s physical outputs 1/2. You can now use the Monitor Mixer to adjust and mix signals from Delta 1010’s analog and digital inputs, as well as signals entering the mixer from your audio software.
Note: Adjusting the levels in the Monitor Mixer does not affect the actual level of the signal being recorded into audio application. Adjust the recording level at the sound source and/or use the +4/-10 switches on the back of the rack­mount interface.
For a full account of all Control Panel routings and functions, refer to the Delta 1010 User Guide located on the Delta Series CD-ROM.
