All right I have little audio production skills - just enough to record a podcast. Up until recently I've used a 2 track audio interface to record 2 shure m57s into my laptop running Adobe Audition CS 6. I just got a Scarlett 18i8 interface and 2 more shure m57s so I could record 4 people at once. I can't figure out how to get the loving thing to work. I installed the drivers and plugged it in then loaded up Audition. I set it to ASIO and all 4 tracks were recognized and I can see levels in the meter, but when I hit record, the time code starts running but it doesn't record at all. edit: I can record audio but its very quiet but playback doesn't work at all. I can only hear it if I export it as a wav and play it back in another program. I have no idea what I should do for the Scarlett Mix control interface. clockworkjoe fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Aug 21, 2015 |

crimedog posted:You might have to "arm" recording of the individual tracks. This is so that the big record button on the main transport only records the tracks that you want. Yeah I've set that - 2 big problems right now are: 1. I can hear playback in Audition - only way I can hear something recorded is if I export it as a wav file then play in another program 2. Recorded sound is very quiet - far more quiet than when I used an audiobox 22vsl I think the main problem is the Scarlett Mix control - It's got a ton of settings and I have no idea how to configure it.

Trig Discipline posted:The software is the one downside to using Focusrite interfaces. I've been using a Saffire Pro 40 for like five years now and I still get confused by Mix Control. I usually just click through presets until poo poo works because gently caress me if I'm going to try to figure that poo poo out. Great. That's what I've been doing but nothing so far.

I've made progress on figuring it out - when I plugged the 18i8 interface into a cheap speaker, I could hear playback. So, it does work, but is it possible to route the playback into my laptop instead? If not, what's a good speaker or set of headphones I should use for monitoring?
