Recognized around the world as the top choice in host-based PCI digital audio solutions, the rack-mount Delta 1010 is designed to handle the needs of the most demanding project and professional studios.

Superb engineering and ultra-high quality converters deliver fidelity surpassing systems that cost many times more. Multiple inputs accommodate recording numerous tracks simultaneously, including zero-latency monitoring for seamless overdubs. Multiple outs route individual tracks or soft synth/sampler timbres to a mixing console, or directly drive up to 7.1 surround sound systems.

The analog outs also remain live for monitoring while mixing or transfering digital signals via S/PDIF. MIDI I/O rounds out everything you need to take advantage of today’s music software. Combine up to four Deltas in your system for a maximum of 32 analog and four stereo S/PDIF inputs and outputs.

36-bit Embedded DSP

All Delta cards contain a 36-bit embedded DSP enabling a software-driven patchbay/router for all analog and digital I/O—all with extremely fast throughput for low-latency software monitoring. A single unified control panel provides settings for clock and sample rates, buffer sizes, individual signal levels for every input and output, adjustable +4dBu/-10dBV pad conrols and digital I/O control on up to four installed Delta cards. All controls are also easily accessible through most professional audio software applications for seamless integration and operation.

Ableton Live Lite 5

Ableton Live Lite 5 delivers much of the functionality of Ableton Live 5—the revolutionary, multi-award winning music production solution that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. Live brings your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments—as well as your digital audio recordings and MIDI sequences—together in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use.

12 months ago I took a chance on these items. I had a low budget for a pro studio recording but decided to do it myself and spent the money on a Delta 1010 and a delta 1010LT. I have to say, it was money well spent. I recorded the complete band, guitars, bass, drums through the 1010 and the vocals through the 1010LT with the xlr connectors, I used a sure SM 58 , not ideal for vocals but though the LT it was perfect. My OS is windows XP Home, the installation of both cards was really easy, I installed the 1010 first and then the LT, the driver for the 1010 runs both perfectly. I used cubase, cool edit pro 2.0 and the ableton live4 lite version shipped with the cards and all software worked perfectly. I recorded my tracks which can be heard at www.bebo.com/firek9 with it, and though I am no producer, I think the card and breakout box did fantastically well. I am now buying another 1010 and will probably go for 2 more, I can install 3 1010's and keep the LT for the mics, and only one driver in required. I currently have the ability to record though 16 inputs simultaneously and play back through 16 outputs , into my mixing disks for mastering. I was so impressed with these items, I later bought a M Audio studio condenser mic for vocals, another excellent product.
Its a perfect low cost solution for all musicians.
If you are thinking of buying the M-Audio Delta 1010 or the LT version, stop thinking and buy it, it is an amazing card.

Whether it be PC or MAC, Windows, OS9, OSX or even Unix/Linux, if you are after a multi-i/o audio interface look no further. I could eaisly just repeat the lovely stats from the M-Audio site, but I'd rather tell you that I have used mine on all of the above platforms and it has performed flawlessly. I'm not even overly concerned with it's lack of XLR inputs /mic pre-amps. (Most people like to use there own pres anyway)

And the LT (lite) version actually does give two XLR inputs for those who don't want to spend money on there own mic pre-amps. In fact, I'd say the only limitation that I have found was more to do with the capabilities of the chosen platform. If your machine is up to it, this baby does what it says on the tin!! Add to this the fact that you can stack up to four interfaces (giving 32 inputs - not including S/PDIF), this is simply as good as it gets. It includes midi I/O for those who are not only working with audio, great drivers and excellent support. I highly recommend getting your hands on one of these today!

This is currently the best audio interfacing solution for hard disk recording in Windows 2000. I use it with Sonar, and have had wonderful results. It has 8 Ins/Outs. You'll need good mics and preamps, a fast processor, preferably a fast SCSI drive, and plenty of RAM. Then you can do anything.

    You’ll need to get sounds into and out of your computer when producing music, so some kind of ‘interface’ should be on your shopping list. You might think that you already have the necessary connections, but many of today’s interfaces come with multiple inputs and outputs (for recording bands and outputting to multi-channel surround systems), bundled software, on board sounds and, in some cases, much more, so really are worthy and cost-effective additions to your computer music set-up.
