Using The Mixer Channels - Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen User Manual

Note
Each Output can only be fed from one Mix. For example, your headphones can't be fed
from Mix A and Mix B simultaneously. When you're choosing Mix destinations Focusrite
Control 2 shows you if an output already has a feed from a different Mix. If you route the
current Mix to an Output with a Mix already routed to it, it overwrites the routing to that
Output.
Loopback Destination
If you would like to record the specific mix of inputs you have made, select Loopback as a Mix
destination. See Loopback.
