alright...everything with this card/breakout cables has been working like a dream....i use the direct outs on my mixer to connect it to the first six (6) RCA connections on the first breakout cable that comes with the card (the LT comes with 6 RCA connections and 2 XLR connections thus giving you 8 analog ins along with the S/PDIF and etc...) and they all worked great, but i needed to use 8 tracks simultaneously for our last recording, so i had to use the 2 XLR connections...
- heres the problem - the two channels i had running into these two XLR connections came from an AKG D112 in the kick and an SM-57 on the snare and they clipped...and normally this would be fine because i would just have known better and turned down the channel until it didnt clip so much...but ya see...it wasnt clipping, it just sounded like it was, i mean...i eventually had the meter in Cubase SX barely hopping, and the source that it picked up was distorted, but it was only on these 2 channels (the XLR ones)...anyone have any idea how to remedy this, the M-audio manual doesnt address this issue and they tell you in the manual to try to find out on yourself first before calling... thanks...

You may want to open the Delta control panel and turn down the input there first. If you had to trun down the input in Cubase that far then the input in the Delta is far to high. You can open the Delta panel while cubase is open and active for recording, but dont start recording. Just go into the Delta panel and lower your levels untill the meter is no longer clipping. Then you can go into the Cubase levels and sdjust them accordingly.
