![]() ![]() If the SC-8850 outputs audio, then what I said above, and you wouldn't have anything connected to the MIDI port on the Scarlett. I thought you needed to plug it in and a MIDI module. Good luck!ĮDIT: I'm sorry, is the SC-8850 the only sound device you want to attach? I've never used one. It will do the job, I'm sure, but it's not intuitive. I have a 1st gen 6i6 and I am struggling with Mix Control. 1st generation (Mix Control) is here, 2nd generation (Focusrite Control) is here. There are tutorials on YouTube about the internal routing on the Scarlett. Turn the gain knobs all the way down before you do this, and you might have to activate the pads, which you do through the software. Unplug the mic and plug the cassette deck into front panel inputs 1 & 2, if you must. Scarlett to PC via the USB connection (use USB 2 on your PC - not USB 3) Speakers into a pair of the line outputs on the back of the Scarlett Microphone into either of the inputs (1 or 2) on the front of the Scarlett MIDI device into the MIDI connector on the back of the Scarlett (or if it's USB only plug it into the PC) SC-8850 audio out into inputs 3 & 4 on the back of the Scarlett Although I have used Cakewalk Sonar for many years, I'm all at sea with configuring this new interface - the 24/96 was older, but very simple to setup : )Įxcept for the cassette deck I don't think you need the mixer. If anyone could come up with a better, more practical connection configuration that doesn't include the Yamaha mixer, I would be most appreciative. I have no idea how to use the Focusrite Control software that comes with the 6i6 apart from having it work currently in it's most simple configuration. I would like to use both headphone outputs on the 6i6 if possible. If possible, also be able to route my cassette deck into the mix somehow, but I'm not sure the 6i6 has that many inputs. I need to be able to record 1 microphone into CbB, my external sound module SC-8850 as an audio source and a GM midi module into CbB, and be able to record audio from my PC into CbB or Wavelab Elements. I feel however, that I'm not using the 6i6 to it's full potential, and would like if it's possible to discard the mixer, and only use the 6i6. I have routed all connections as in the diagram below, using my (dated) Yamaha mixer. I wonder if anyone can help with suggestions for better routing configuration of my Scarlett 6i6, external module and DAW.įor years I used an M Audio Delta 24/96 quite happily, but with a move to a new PC and Win 10 I bought a Scarlett 6i6. The right “master” fader in the pic above is the over all volume control of the pre recored tracks, and the vocal track you are recording that day. So if in “angl 1” you have a vocal you are recording that day, and you want to record along with tracks that were already recorded in a previous session, you could use the 1 st fader in your mix control for your vocal level, and the 1st “master” fader for the pre recorded tracks coming out of DAW 1 & 2, and blend to taste for that custom headphone mix. That way, anything already recorded coming out of my main DAW outputs 1 & 2, will come through this fader, and I have a master volume control for it. If you look at the pic above, I’ve set the inputs of the left fader to “DAW 1 & 2″”. (oo highlighted in blue in the above pic) Make sure if you want stereo, to click the two sideways figure 8 buttons at the bottom of each master fader. To the far right of the top section of the Scarlett Mix Control, you have 2 faders that are like “Master” faders. The only problem is that this software can be very confusing, especially if you’re new to this type of thing. What the Focusrite interfaces have to combat this issue is a DSP chip, and the Scarlett Mix Control software that allows you to monitor with NO latency. If you have any experience recording, you’ve probably encountered this while trying to record vocals for instance.Įven if you set your buffer size in your DAW settings to very low, you will still hear a small delay in the signal, which sounds like a double of your voice and can be quite annoying. ![]() There is a small millisecond “delay” in the signal because of this. Latency is the time it takes for the audio signal you are recording to travel travel through the audio interface (mine is a Focusrite 18i20), into your DAW of choice, and back out of your speakers or headphones for you to hear. Lets first talk about why you would need the Scarlet Mix Control software to set up custom monitor mixes, instead of just using your DAW, in my case, Protools. Let me break it down for ya.Ībove is a video of me walking you through the software, but I also wanted to write an article on it in case you are not able to watch a video at the moment. The Scarlett Mix Control software can be a little confusing at first glance. ![]()
