This is simple minded but sometimes the best solutions are.  I know when I added another recording software to my computer that my mic suddenly did a craptacular job of recording while using my original software. I discovered I had to open the NEW soft ware, make sure the intput was set to "microphone" and that the recording level was set a median range and then jump back to my old software and beging recording. Works fine ever since--I'm not into computer but somehow the mic began interfacing off the new program--or something like that!

Michael my sound deteriorated even more to the point that there was no listening to it. I reinstalled the drivers becos there was no way a week old puter could deteriorate like that without reason. So then the sound was better but I had no volume. So I then uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled. Now I have normal sound and no distortion or tinniness. Dunno why it would do that but it has certainly sorted it out to the point I can live with it until I can save up for a pro sound card.

Ideally you patch players and mics into the mixer....then patch mixer with two TRS 1/4"patch cables to Delta44...Then patch out of Delta 44 with two more TRS cables to your monitor system....You can use passive monitors with a monitor amp or active monitors, or full PA....If using monitor, mute them while recording and wear headphones, playback thru monitors for final mixdown....The delta will allow you to record two tracks at one time-the vocals, and the background music. While using Delta 44 this way, disable onboard sound in device manager.

If you want to use onboard sound and computer speakers as monitors, then go into device manager and disable onboard sound while recording, then disable Delta 44 while playing back.

Keith what you doing up so late?

I gotta go to work today, so I'm drinking my first pot of coffee trying to sober up...it's been a great weekend.....Today is a 500 dollar day!...double time for working the holiday!...Whee, I love working holidays!...I just come off a 4 day weekend, and I got a three day weekend coming up....Life is good!

Well you have a grrrrreat day sir. I am kinda still getting over the fact that someone I thought was a friend tried to swindle me last night.
It could have cost me my job! I am so grateful I have a brilliant boss

Guess I'll get some cables tomorrow and give the setup a shot. I'm a bit confused though. What can I use for a monitor? Can I just plug the headphones into the output of the Delta 44? Seems like I'd only be monitoring 1 track if I did this - right?

Seems we're kind of approaching this 2 different ways. You mention I can plug in cdg player and mic to mixer then through D44 and save as 2 separate tracks, but I was wanting to just record the vocal track. I want to get the backing track by just ripping it from a cdg and then opening / saving it in my multi-track program. That way the backing track is a digital copy - best quality. Guess I could do it your way and then delete the backing track, and import the digital backing, but I guess I still have to have some type of monitor, and I need 4 cables. I was hoping to just get by with 1 cable - basically the one for the mic from the mixer to the soundcard and just listening to headphones. But right now, I don't know how I can do that. Perhaps you have some idea?

Somehow I have to have it hooked up so I can hear both backing and vocals as I sing and recording vocal track while listening through headphones.  Can D44 and onboard sound be enabled at the same time? Thoughts?

I realize this may sound like more trouble to you, but I think it would be the best way to record. Does what I'm saying make sense?
