10th input?

the delta 10/10lt has 10 ins and outs... does that mean anolog? i dont care too much for the outputs 'cause i only need 2 for stereo but im desparate for the 10th input.

when i go to select my ins on sonar it says "delta 1010lt multi 1/2-11/12" below that it says "delta 1010lt 1/2-7/8,L&R S/PDIF, and L&R Mon. Mixer". i know that it's possible to use a plain old RCA with S/PDIF but how long can the cord be until the signal is lost too much?

i have 2 XLR cords in it, 6 1/4-RCA cords, and i want to use the last two inputs to have a better mixed drums and to use the 2 unused 1/4-RCA cords in my 10' snake

I think the last two,(9/10) are s/pdif ?

The multi thing is because when Sonar registers the Delta drivers it recognizes all the channels at once when you select the multi mode. It is seeing the digital as well as analog channels and jsut lines them all up. Most apps will do that. It is an emulated WDM mode if I am not mistaken. I dont suggest using the multi mode if you can avoid it.

ok thanks.

i heard somebody saying that they use a normal RCA cord on an S/PDIF in without too much data los er something like that... does anyone know if my 10ft TRS-RCA snake will work on the S/PDIF?

You do get signal, but the level is below piss poor. Heaps of noise and not worth trying IMO.

I found some cheap convertors the other day. I'll try dig em' up when I get back home.

A 2-channel pre-amp with S/PDIF output would be about the easiest/cheapest route, but I can't find any in my catalogs (just got 3 new ones in the mail!!!) Do not use a regular RCA-RCA cable, they "resist" the signal too much, and do not have enough noise "protection". A quality S/PDIF cable doesn't run too much ($15-30US) and can be found in most electronic stores, such as Radio Shack (them places pollute our area...).
