Im using sonar platinum...i have 2 delta 1010(pci) interfaces and a phonic firefly 808 (firewire)...im asking because i want to get the best quality i can get with my system..which is somewhat old
Athlon 64 x2 dual core 3.01ghz
4 gig corsair ram
32 bit OS -x64 based processor
Sonar settings
:driver settings
Audio driver bit depth 24
Sample rate 41000
Buffer playback queue 4
:playback and recording
Driver mode MME 32bit
Dithering triangular
Checked are

Use mmcss
Always stream audio through fx
:sync n caching

:audio data

:project
Record mode...comping checked

M-audio delta control panel
Sample rate 41000
Asio/wdm buffer size 255
Sync source(locked)...internal is checked
Spdif(consumer)

Pretty sure everything is getting recorded 41000/16...if that makes sence

For best performance you should be using ASIO driver mode, not MME. Unfortunately ASIO only lets you use one driver at a time, that means either your Phonic or your Delta. Some manufacturers let you use two of the same cards with a single driver, I don't know if that's the case with the Delta.

You should change recording bit depth to 24 bit but most people feel 44.1KHz is fine.

Apparently yes you can do this with all M-Audio cards in the delta series.

4 x to be exact, at least you could have 4 delta 1010's linked up (not sure if it was available with the 1010lt though), i believe it was the same with the 44's and 66's. although this changed if you were using the latest driver sometime during Windows 7 era where it no longer worked as expected with the new driver

Ty guys..yes im not using the asio drivers because when i did if i remember correctly i did not see all my inputs in asio mode..i do use two 1010's..i will set the bit depth to 24...ty all soo much
