yo I had a Delta 192 sound card and I could never get it to direct monitoring. I fucked around with it for like a whole night and never got it to work. I don't know if its just a common problem with the Delta line or if they just simply don't allow direct monitoring (which would make zero sense...

why dont you record using the mobile pre? im pretty sure the sound quality would be much better than an AC97 card. the only thing about the mobile pre is you gotta record in mono mode.
im not sure man. i use a dj mixer cuz its got that grounding post for the ground wire from the turntables. if you dont hook that grounding wire up you get a pretty bad hum
yeah I go through a dj mixer before it gets to the soundcard. i should have mentioned that before. like FTdub said, it lets you EQ and shit before you actually record into your pc.
yo when you record do you have to use mono? to hear audio on both the left and right speakers from the turntable I had to put the input on channel 1 and click use left only. and then I had to set cool edit to mono. is there a way to record in stereo mode?
