![]() Here's some more fun information on this issue: I noticed that I could still hear an instrument plugged into the interface even if CbB was not loaded. If you don't have a 1st gen 6i6, you're not seeing the same thing I'm seeing. They don't even make it anymore, and MixControl doesn't come with any of the new Focusrite interfaces. ![]() By the way, this is a 1st gen Scarlett 6i6. I am beginning to think something has happened to the hardware itself for this problem to present itself now after years of using this device. 16ms of latency is roughly equivalent to standing on stage 16 feet in front of your amp. How do I know for sure? When I am all set up to record guitar, I can't hear it unless I activate Input Echo on the track I want to record. Great to hear from you and no, I never use direct monitoring. The Motu of course doesn't have the problem as it has the blend control, So does my Tascam and M Audio interfaces. I do understand mix control but instead I use the method of turning down Cakewalks master bus if I need the guitar louder in the mix if I use the Scarlett. I do believe if you have never changed anything in Mix control then you have been using direct monitoring all along. Otherwise you will hear a slap back echo in the monitors as you listen to your guitar or vocals. This is exactly why direct monitoring exists in the first place. The very lowest RTL is about 7ms at an unusable buffers which cause drop outs. You will hear the RTL which on my 6i6 and system is I think 16ms at 256 buffer. I don't recommend using input echo for tracking vocals or guitars. Software mixers require the flight training of a airline pilot. Good if you play in a band and need to set up 6 different monitor mixes, bad if you hate overly complicated systems. A lot of interfaces like my Motu have a blend control on the front which when at 12 o'clock are a 50/50 mix. Those factory settings are the input will be monitored in a 50/50 balance with the playback in the Monitors and both headphone channels. I have great headphone monitoring via the Scarlett.Het Larry, Yes the Mix Control is frustrating to learn but it has a reset toggle if you get into trouble that puts it back to the factory settings. Everything is hooked up via USB - no analog. It seems to be a routing problem, perhaps a conflict between Reaper, Scarlett, and the laptop. That is the problem, and I can only hear playback via headphones connected to the Scarlett. The monitor system does work, but not from Reaper. The speakers do not produce sound via Reaper. Playback in Reaper works only via the headphones connected to the Scarlett. In the Scarlett Mix Control, nothing is muted. That is set to Focusrite USB 2.0 Audio Driver. ![]() The only place I can select the Scarlett is the ASIO Driver. Check:ġ) Reaper has the proper output enabled (enable all the Scarlett if you're not sure)Ģ) In mixcontrol, both monitor and headphone mix have DAW unmuted (if unsure, unmute everything)ĭoes playback in Reaper work? After recording a test track? I have a Saffire pro 14, so it may be different for the Scarlett, but there are many options for different setups. Another possibility is the routing settings in Scarlett MixControl.
