My delta has variable in/out levels... +4, consumer, -10

Check these and change to optimize levels with your other pieces of equipment.

I have one of the original 20 bit MOTUs and this happens to me sometimes when recording at 24 bits, IF I watch the software meters instead of the LEDs on the unit. The hardware has less headroom than the software, and the hardware is first...so Vegas is recording a signal that's getting clipped by t...

I've been using Vegas since 2.0... The newest (4) is much more stable and seems to sound better overall. One of the best things about Vegas is how easy it is to use as just a tape-machine, the busses are ideal for running out to channel pairs (panned R+L) in a mixer. I don't use the master bus at al...

I have a quattro, and it works just fine with my dell Latitude 610 laptop (1.2GHZ). I have used it to record 4 live tracks at 16 bit, and as a mixdown deck at 24 bit / 96khz from a motu 8 out setup run through a mackie 1202. Sounds 10x better than rendering the mix in software...yeck, I'll never do ...

Boss Hyper Fuzz... 2 types of fuzz...basic fuzz face style and octaved roger mayer style, along with another setting for gain boost and no distortion (like an mxr micro amp). Very useful for overdriving input tubes. I'm talking about the shiny metalflake silver version...not the current fuzz...that ...

Either of the Win XP flavors, home or professional. They are way more stable than 98/ME, and have much more responsive multimedia than Win2000. The downside is that they require a bit more CPU power and RAM to run the same apps due to the OS overhead. The upside is that latency on *most* soundcards ...

I'd also suggest Vegas 4 The new version supports ASIO (a huge improvement) and has the least steep learning curve of any audio app I've ever used. There's no midi support (other than locking devices together), so it's not for sequencing...just pure audio / video. The DAW mixing actually sounds pret...

I'd recommend ALL the Native Instruments Softsynths... They run standalone, so you don't need a host app like Cubase or Cakewalk like you do with VSTis. B4 - Hammond b3 softsynth FM7 - Dead on emulation of the Yamaha DX7 Pro-53 - Best analog modeling sound yet...emulates the Prophet-5 Reaktor / ABsy...
