right, ive got(will have)a Delta 44 and a Mackie 1402vlz mixer (got), when all my inputs from my synths etc are in the Mackie which output do i connect out from to the delta? do i go from the main (xlr or balanced jacks) and then connect the control room outputs to my amp?
also should i put my TL Audio crimson EQ between the deltas outputs and the mackie channels or should i put it between the mackie and the delta's ins?
one more... should i use balanced cables even though the delta hasnt balanced inputs or does this matter?
bsterrrrr

well, they aint needed really because the mixer has one buss only so any mackie feeds to the second pair of Delta44 inputs would have to come from another route OUT of the mackie... unless you use a patchbay, but there's no gain there as you only have the single Buss....
What you could do, is wire up a synth to the second delta44 input pair, to gain 2 extra channels into the overall mix you listen to (via the mackie MASTER L/R out).....
in vst or logic & some others s/w's you can 'input monitor'... bounce this audio input back out of the pc going back to blend in with the mix on the mackie... this gets you the pc main mix l/r (or 1,2,3,4) OUT to the mixer, yet two additional inputs on the Delta44 can bring another stereo object into the mackie mix... remember tho, obviously, if you go for 4 outs from the PC/delta to the desk, that'll reduced your available input channels for hardware...
however, you COULD bring the pc monitor l/r pair of choice (1&2 or 3&4) out back into the mackie via the aux-return, getting your pan settings to this feed from your mix in s/w (aux ret's will be fixed stereo return on the mackie most likely)
anyways, set it up like the article, but using your delta i/o 1&2 only... once you get that going, then see about using the aux return etc... find out how to do input monitoring in your s/w, then do the software monitoring input & try that...
