All user reviews for the M-Audio Delta 1010LT

That motivated me: 8 inputs, 8 outputs. two years later, I bought a second to enter the 16 tracks (€ 200 this time, the price has fallen strangely). We can put up to 4 in the machine!

I use it on the live-out mix for multi-track recording.

Both cards have three consecutive PC, they still turning.

Side tone, nothing to say, if he sends enough signal, you will not breath.

UTILIZATION

drivers super stable once properly configured. The multiplayer map is hard to take control early, but we had to think of sync!

M-Audio continues to develop the drivers, it's a good thing!

My two cards running in 16/88.2K, 16 tracks and spend carefree.

latency, I do not care, it is the analog reccording!

GETTING STARTED

almost plug and play setup! just install the driver ...

OVERALL OPINION

No, this is the first multi-track card that I made, and I'll maybe take a third one of these days, but it will also take a large hard-drive!

I took this one because delta1010 (with rack) was overrated, just a box ... more

The M-Audio Delta 1010 LT is a high powered sound card that will definitely do exactly what you need it to do for your home set up, it has a 24 bit/96.6 khz sound card that has eight analog inputs and outputs, SPDIF in and out, and MIDI in and out. And just the fact that this is made by M audio says enough. M Audio has always put products out that they stand by and offer great support for. This card can record up to eight tracks simultaneously. Two of the analog inputs are XLR, allowing for direction connection to microphones.


UTILIZATION

I have used this with windows xp and vista and there is some latency, but this may be due to my computer being older. I know latency is an issue with digital recording, which is one of the major reasons why I generally record on analog equipment.


GETTING STARTED

There are some issues with routing the hardware to the output but its nothing that will hold you back for too long. I have used this for quite some time and it is a great product for the money.


OVERALL OPINION

The M Audio Delta 1010 LT is a card for someone that wants to do some good recording from home with there small set upt Most peoples first recordings come from home so this fits righ tin. I still could have transferred my sound files from a machine like the 788 into the computer, allowing me to mixdown in the computer, but I did not know then what I know now. Still, for someone who wants to do everything on the computer, and doesn't care about the potential for crashes, interrupted recordings, jitter, latency, but overall this is a great pc card if you are looking for a soundcard that is built in, but at the end of the day most of us choose to go with an external supply because they are easier to install. I suggest looking into M Audio’s External controllers. They will be way better.

I am considering buying another sound card equipped with DSP effects and in-house may be in complment. Another weakness, this card does not read audio CDs, which can be pnalisant for "grabber" audio tracks ....

I wanted to 8 analog inputs at 24 bits and especially the stability of the delta.
I used to record 8 tracks at the same time with about 2 effects per track in Cubase VST (very heavy so). The pramps (2) on 2 XLR are the first useful and cost of good quality but I have not really focused on what the cot. word clock sync can be very useful ... and MIDI in / out too.
I have not tried the in / out numrique.

UTILIZATION

Installation completely transparent. Delta pilots already had installed (the 44, I replaced the 1010) and has all windows install to boot first. Without restarting, I can already start using it! drivers are clear and have enough options to make rglages purposes and are legendary stable.

For that price, it's a very good deal (I have not had the opportunity to test more expensive).

The M-Audio Delta 1010 LT is a 24 bit/96.6 khz sound card that has eight analog inputs and outputs, SPDIF in and out, and MIDI in and out. This card can record up to eight tracks simultaneously. Two of the analog inputs are XLR, allowing for direction connection to microphones, whereas the other six are through RCA connections. All of the analog outputs are RCA. Unlike its big brother the Delta 1010, the LT does not feature its own breakout box, but instead has breakout cables from the PCI card. It's also possible (in theory) to link and synchronize two Delta 1010 LT's.

UTILIZATION

There is some latency, but this may be due to my computer being older. I know latency is an issue with digital recording, which is one of the major reasons why I generally record on analog equipment.

GETTING STARTED

The install is relatively simple, just follow the included instructions if you have any questions. I didn't really have any software or hardware conflicts, but I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2, so other operating systems may or may not have issues. That being said, I did at one time attempt to link two Delta 1010 LT's but was unable to get everything to work simultaneously. I eventually lost interest and returned the second Delta 1010 LT.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a good card for someone that wants to do some decent recordings with their computer. My first recordings ever were on computer... If I could start all over again, I would have taken the money and either bought a decent reel to reel setup with a mixer, or even a standalone DAW such as the Tascam 788 because of their low cost now and ease of use. I still could have transferred my sound files from a machine like the 788 into the computer, allowing me to mixdown in the computer, but I did not know then what I know now. Still, for someone who wants to do everything on the computer, and doesn't care about the potential for crashes, interrupted recordings, jitter, latency, and all the other crap that comes with recording on a PC, this card may be for you.

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
8 entries analos, many outputs analos, 24/96, port IO noon. Exactly what I was looking for. Side "coupling" to bring up to 4 cards (to switch to 32 tracks) is very interesting for one day expand the system without starting from scratch.
I do not use the coax SPDIF inputs, but that will come one day!

- For what purpose?
Multitrack studio recordings + some MIDI instruments (drum machines mainly).

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Standart PC. CPU P4 2GHz, 512MB Ram, 120GB HDD.

- Which instruments or the systems do you use? ...
Use analog outputs transplanting table mix.
I would add also that in relation to SB 128 that I had before, the day was against the dark winter! No particular breath, good definitions, nothing to say!

UTILIZATION

- The installation is done it without problems?
Back from my little merchant info in less than 10 minutes, no worries.

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
No. I did not even use the supplied CD, I was searching for the latest driver on the manufacturer's website (say it: very well done, this site!)

Note also that the card asked me some problems with Windaube, since I replaced a SB (Map more multimedia sound card), so the operating system does not seem to manage multi-voice cards, notament recording. After a system crash, I reinstalled everything, and finally it worked. We must therefore think well erase all traces of the old card!

- The general configuration is easy?
The ASIO driver is exteme stable, absolutely no problems. The routing is done via the window of the driver, the management options are very interesting voice! over the top: the ability to save the configs of the map based applications, like this, you do not lose time to check boxes, one recalls the config we want is all the worse!

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
I did not open yet, but it's me, that ... I opened a big hand in case of severe failure ...

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
Ca, yes! extremely stable! never had any problems!

- Are they often updated?
Apparently yes, but why do updates on a stable system?? I do not change a winning team. If I ever have a problem, then yes, I will do an update.

- What software do you use most often?
Cubase SX. Excellent compatibility, except perhaps setting the audio resolution: it must indicate either own the software and driver asio asio the configs, otherwise it looks funny surprises!

- What you get lag?
I think the latency is mostly a problem for those who would use their PC processing system live. Me, I do not care as long as you do not exceed 0.5 sec. I care that the syncro recording / playback and midi (nothing to say on this side for that matter).

- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...
I think the most I did was read 16-track recording 8 +. nothing has parru shocking. Do I remember, I use this card mainly for its A / DD / A.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
That one year that I have (almost).

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The best: the transparency of the driver (he is only there to turn the map, it asks nothing else, what it does very well), and the quality of the converters (value for money at top !).
The Cons: bah connectors: 8cm cable and insufficient identification of CAR. Would have had to buy the rack version, but it exceeded my budjet and I'm not sure that the cable between the rack and the card would have been long enough. So I bought two multicore connectors to extend the map and yay, no need to contortionist in spaghetti for a change.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, I spent a week searching the net to see what qu'ilexistait, I find that for a mid-range, the m-audio is very good!

- How would you rate the quality / price?
I paid 300 euros, and it gives me satisfaction (I know, I could pay less, but I want to kill the small business computer sites via mail order). In a word: I am very very happy!

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Ah yes! I do not exclude one day go to a couple of m-audio 1010 ...

I put 9 here to not to over 10 ...

- Choice motivated by the number of analog inputs / outputs and the simplicity of the interface (32bit PCI standard). This card is enough to turn any PC into a multitrack studio. Affect latency: 2.5ms 48000Hz (96 not tried, what for?)
- "Home studio" recording
- Config: DG965SS, Core 2 Duo E6600 (2x 2.4GHz), 4GB RAM, 2 x 500G (WD, super silent)
- Used with Guitar Fender Start (standard AM, buy the US on-site), Fender Deluxe Active P-Bass, SE Electronics mics Audix OM5 and M1C, etc., etc..

UTILIZATION

- Installation: Piece of Cake, opens your your PC, you plug in the PCI slot, you boots.
- No incompatibility.
- Config super easy: my studio is running Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy realtime kernel 2.6.23, jackd audio server, ICE1712 driver alsa, no lzard, it's all "out of the box").
- Manual? there was one? chuis sr c'tait as a manual for windoze ...

GETTING STARTED

- ALSA driver snd-ICE1712 works imppec
- Set - Update: hmmmm, may be I do not know really, I am the evolution of the Linux kernel that contains ALSA depusi quite a while now
- Software: mix h / w envy24control recorder / mixer multitrack Ardour, rhythm box software Hydrogen, Rosegarden MIDI editor (I use a piano CA5 the same time with all this mess), sequencer software fluidsynth, amsynth, etc. (much of the "jack apps" for insiders linux)
- Latency 2.5ms (with jackd config: jackd-R-DALSA-dhw: 0-r48000-p64-n2)
- Can record all MIDI tracks +

OVERALL OPINION

- Used for almost 2 years
- Loves most: simplicity and reliability (not plant, you plug something in and out perfect. Likes least: the connections -> no. All those damn cables RCA unreadable. The first thing I made it mark the cables so I am confused. Another "minus" unbalanced connections (unbalanced, I know ... not really franais asymmtriques may be?).

I do not know if I would do given the choice I know a little more but it's not a choice that I regret, not in the least. The quality-price ratio is excellent in my opinion.

I just acqurir the RME Multiface II Systm with HDSP PCI card. a should be a notch pro. We'll see ...

8 in 8 out sound card pci
2 XLR input and the rest in CAR
perfect for home studio setup

UTILIZATION

The installation is well trs Droulez I put it in the Power Mac G4 that downstream in less than a minute
No problem of compatibility requires mac
Gnrale configuration is not difficult but requires attention may
The manual is not always clear, so it's mostly the instin

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable, 3 months of use I have not had to make up besion day, for the cons used with Pro Tools M-powered it should be mj last. Almost zero latency nothing spcial signal. The numro registered on the inputs and outputs are ridiculous, it must be concentrated to the wiring. For all that is There's no problem of MIDI, it does its job.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months and I am fully satisfied with this card, I used its big sister the sublime m-audio delta 1010 rack and this diffrence does not feel, finally, for now. What I like most about this card is the quality of its converters more than respectable, she recorded with a superb sound rstitution with dynamic sound and clear, we can slctionn level input and output-10dBV 4 dbv, it is paramtrable in a click, and it is super stable.
The one is the RCA incomprhension !!!!, it would at least jack prfr 6.35 but hey, we forgive him because it gives a report 200euros qualitprix exeptionnel, I highly recommend this card and with the experience I would do this choice with eyes closed.

I chose this model for the number of inputs / outputs very similar to my TerraTec EWS88MT grid that after 5 years of good and loyal service. the XLR mic (although I expect no miracles of a preamp to troubleshoot more biensur c)

I am also against the use of USB or firewire on desktop. why the hell add elements that also can be problematic (icompatiblits chips usb / firewire connector ...) so I turned to the ICP.

the point that I like very much that the asio drivers are syndicated.

I use it on a Dual core 2.4 with 2GB ram running XP sp2.

UTILIZATION

How often I use the cd that came with not a gear and I'll live on the site builder to make the latest drivers. and no concern for installation. no conflicts (I was nervous with my motherboard ASUS P5K very recent).

with respect to man, I can not say I have not opened. y'en one anyway? but he did not fail at all. panel config is pretty straightforward (especially since this is in routing a clone of my old EWS88MT).

GETTING STARTED

Drivers super stable. very low latency 3ms no worries, I get a 10ms when I really want to be alone.

the control panel of the card works fine, for against the ergonomics of this one is very weak. we are far from the control panel ews88MT or m-audio usb. nothing serious, however, put a hand setting levels of that is done on a fader for rididule 20pixels! AIM might have a page entirely dedicated to control the input level.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this card for 6 months and I am really very happy.

no worries. I almost forget it's simple it is!

I think the number of input-output ratio / price is unbeatable! and without that e the quality suffer. biensur can not compare to those of a converter RME, but the price also is without comparison.

after a year with, if it burns out, or if my computer caught fire, or a comet falling on my homestudio, I think I would do the same choice

Blah blah ....( see page M-tech site or other audio review)

UTILIZATION

M-Audio has always been one of the leaders in creating affordable and fairly nice interfaces. They also make cards for those who don't want to deal with a separate box. This features an 8 x 8 analog IO with 2 mic pres, S/PDIF with 2-channel PCM, special copy protection, supports AC-3 and DTS pass-through, has MIDI, can control 7.1 surround audio, has 36-bit DSP mixing/routing which is done internally, can switch between consumer and professional/line level gear, contains a world clock for proper I/O syncing and even includes Ableton Live Lite.

UTILIZATION

I was never a huge fan of these interface cards. My biggest gripe about them is that they always have some sort of breakout cable to get all the features of the device. You simply can't include all these features without some sort of multi pinout breakout cable. First of all, they strain the actual connector because of all the devices hooked up to them. This can cause wear over time, although most of them seem to have combat this. The cables themselves are a bit flimsy, so there's also that issue. Finally, it becomes a tangled mess, and switching stuff on the fly is a bit more difficult for me than if there was a central device in one area.

GETTING STARTED

The device is very easy to use. Install the drivers, hook up the correct devices and you're good to go. It should work with just about any DAW and roughly any computer that has the appropriate computer port. I never read the manual, but I didn't feel there was a need to since it's a pretty straight forward install. Everything is simple to setup, so no issues there.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm not a huge fan of the breakout cable aspect of this device. It's the #1 thing that kills it for me. However, the device itself sounds great, and the mic pres are fairly clean sounding. It has tons of features packed into a small device, so if you're into the whole PCI card interface thing, it's worth checking out.

What motivated me to buy this sound card was its price and quality, number of inputs and outputs, and its "zero latency".

I wanted a home studio soundcard professional enough for a minimal price, I record all sorts of instruments and also by noon.

My setup is as follows:
CPU: Intel Pentium III Xeon 3.16GHz x2 Core Duo (E8500)
CM: Asus P5Q-PRO
RAM: 4GB DDR 2
CG: GeForce GTS 250
HDD: 2x Western Digital 1TB S-ATA2 + 1x Western Digital 500GB S-ATA2
I use an input mixer JB SYSTEM MM10, so I only only 2 audio inputs on the 10.

I use this sound card under Windows XP (it does not work on Windows Seven because drivers are not compatible!). It seems that it is compatible with Linux but I could not make it work.

I use it for recording guitar, studio microphone, bass, flutes, percussion, and noon (keyboards, electric heater).

UTILIZATION

The drivers are relatively stable, at least I have had no problems on that side was made from a volume control that requires a crappy external volume controller (I use a mixing desk Behringer XENYX to 40 €).
Please note, the volume control of windows do not work with the Delta.

At the beginning I was using Cubase SX, then I switched to Cubase Studio 4, and finally now I use the wonderful Cubase 5, 100% compatible with the Delta. With Cubase, I use a variety of software packages (GuitarRig, Wizooverb, Akoustik Piano, Pianoteq, Independense Free, FM8, etc. ...

On Cubase 5, I did not encounter track boundaries and I could easily record a midi track ten and twenty simultaneous audio track without it's slow.

And finally, the best: LATENCY:
I get a really exceptional latency: 2177 ms input, output and 2132 ms (all standard sampling frequency: 44100Hz). Both playing on a MIDI keyboard or guitar / mic, it's wonderful, no detectable latency, incomparable with external sound cards first prizes. (Minimum latency for this, thank you the ASIO driver that is specifically compatible with the Delta !!!!)

GETTING STARTED

Installing the PCI card has performed without problems for drivers when it has been more or less, it took me a few weeks to take over all the drivers and configure all features.
For inputs and outputs,

Incompatibility I have encountered are: Linux and Windows Seven, nothing else.

As I said, configuring the sound card is very long and relatively complicated if one does not know it, most of the manual is in English, and anyway I do not need, in One can quibble we understand. I was scared at first for its system of jumpers on the sound card to amplify the XLR (microphone) but finally I did not even use because I use the XLR inputs of my mixer.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for over 2 years and I am very happy for its latency and stability, but I regret the input and output formats (try plugging the speakers into a mini stereo jack or dual jack without use adapters on mono cinch, suddenly I was going through an amplifier into sound and then cinch to PA speakers)

Recess for a home studio it is better to use studio monitors and are usually in connection 2x XLR jack or 2X, this sound card is really a blight on the system because every time one passes through plug adapters you lose quality.

What I like most about this sound card is its latency of 2 ms and power (it is also cumulative, if you buy 2 you can connect them)
What I like least is its RCA inputs (for a guitar or other instrument jack, it will go through a mixer or an adapter), RCA outputs and even more if you want a external volume control (because the internal is useless) then you must go through a mini mixer.

Before buying it I tried some internal sound cards and I got higher latencies ...

I judge the value for money 9 / 10 (why not 10? A question formats input / output RCA (they should have put input and output jack also) and that because of their virtual volume controller crappy and only 1 input 1 output noon and afternoon)

With experience, I think I made an internal sound card with an external interface (like the Delta 1010), but now I am thinking of buying a USB external sound card for input / output and a range of settings hand, but latency is high + ...
