So I have my setup (guitar through amp through yamaha mg16/4 and then from the I/O to a m audio delta 1010 and then to the computer) but the sad thing is i have no monitors or headphones with a 1/4" jack so i'm reserved to plain bland 1/8" jack headphones running through the sound card that was in the computer and not the ASIO one that came with the delta. To make problems worse, though i can record my guitar no problem but i can't hear anything because Reaper won't let me set the audio output to go to that soundcard because its taking in the input from the delta.
So how can i fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as i'd much like to start on my first recording.

Apr 28, 2007 10:54 pm Well as a general rule using two different sound cards is not a good idea. Their clocks are running at different speeds and can cause a problem there. Also some software does not allow that to happen, Reaper may not allow it either, but pjk would know more as he uses it and I do not.
Does the Delta 1010 have a headphone output at all, I don't remember? If so, you can get an adapter to go from the mini plug to 1/4" to solve that problem.
Apr 28, 2007 10:56 pm The Delta 1010 has 8 1/4" ins and 8 1/4" outs along with 1 midi in and 1 midi out. yeah what i'd like to do is get some monitors and/or some nice speakers but after having borrowed about 700 from savings i need to pay that back before i buy anything more.
Apr 29, 2007 11:12 am cuz then i could run them through the mixer and/or delta and keep everything on one sound card.
Apr 29, 2007 11:34 am FYI, "monitors" and "speakers" are the same thing
Apr 29, 2007 12:00 pm haha yeah, my mistake, i met headphones.

Apr 29, 2007 05:25 pm Say you are running a 16/4 mixer are you not. You can route the outputs back into the mixer and simply use its headphone out with an adapter as I stated above.
Apr 29, 2007 10:42 pm I fixed it, no worries. I was able to find a 1/4" adaptor in the house. I figured out how to record :) Now to just get it perfected and get a grasp on editing.

Apr 30, 2007 07:51 pm You'll get it. It just takes a little practice.
Apr 30, 2007 08:04 pm Yeah well now it looks to me that Reaper doesnt offer anything other then just recording and messing with eq's a lil bit. If you see my other bulletin thats towards the top i'm lookin for a good cheap mastering software so i can edit frequencies and etc etc. I'd like to dive into recording and learn what i can.
Aug 04, 2007 06:21 am Look a little harder, in addition to the new ReaXComp Justin just made, Scott Stillwell's, LOSER's and TerryW's included JS plugs are in there along with a whole giant host of eq's, compressors and analyzers. Also, you may use any VST or DX plugs you'd like and are free to create your own fx using the JS editing system, which allows you to code effects in realtime as you are playing in reaper. (not that I could code my way out of a paper bag, Im just sayin' )
Just click the FX button on the TCP and a world of fun awaits you
