Wooo! Finally, my sound-card has arrived (paid for on the 11th December on ebay!!!) - it's a Delta 66 with the break-out box. I'm told I need a pre-amp, but I'm not entirely sure what for - I assume I can't simply plug straight into the breakout box from the 'out' of my Marshall amp? Also, can anyon...

Hey, never too late to do anything.

Welcome. The natives here are friendly

Hmmm...that makes them about 25 quid. Mind you the pound is extremely weak at the moment too - £1 = €1 at the moment!

I might ask a friend of mine in Missouri if he would buy one over there and send it on to me.

Thanks for that. Ha - that's almost exactly the same model I have (had?)- mine was called a midisport I think though (not the same company now is it?) I will have a serious look around the house tonight and if I can't find it I'll order one up - I am champing at the bit to get this up and running. T...

Update: I have just bought the 66 on ebay, so hopefully should turn up soon.

Still need MIDI though...I have a feeling I am going to be turning the house upside down looking for my USB-MIDI converter!

Hi, thanks for that. The only 66s I can find on ebay are nearer $200 sadly (living in the UK at the moment is very expensive in all aspects it seems). However, if I were to get the 66, does that mean that I also need a USB midiport thing? I do have one somewhere, but I have mislaid it in my house mo...

Fair enough - I think the 66 might be overkill for what I want to do.

I think I'll go for the cheaper option

Hi all, I'm struggling to tell the difference between this: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496.html and this: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta66.html Obviously one must be better than the other, it's dearer for a start, but as I will only be recording on my own with one ...

Ahh - ok, thank you.

I will have a look on ebay for that too

If I were to get the Delta 66 instead would I still need a pre-amp, or is that what the greyish box is that comes with it?

I've seen one on ebay for 40 quid, all I need to do is to record a maximum of 2 audio inputs, and 1 midi. For 40 quid I think I might take the chance - I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 at the moment, but as the machine is about to become a dedicated DAW I can change the OS to whatever works. So this card can be u...

Hi all,

is this card supported in Linux?

M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496

If so, has anyone any experience of using one?

Fair enough - hopefully, if all things are good, this weekend I should be able to try both.

Will report back.

Is there any advantage over using SCSI over SATA for recording?

I have two 36gb SCSI discs - both 10k rpm, I was thinking of using these instead of SATA.

Hi all, I think the song is called 'Dead Again' by William Orbit (????) - but it's the song from the beginning of American Beauty and is played throughout the film at various places. There's a sound in there that sounds a little like a slowed sown Sitar or most certainly a stringed instrument - it's...

Ahh - If I WERE allowed to use this beast that wouldn't be a problem. I bought a 850W PSU with a silent fan, the case fans are from a firm called 'Silent Fan' (and there are 4 of the sods), the graphics card is fanless (it has a heatsink the size of Corsica mind!), the case is coated on the inside w...
