Audio Setup In Your Daw - Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio User Manual

Audio Setup in your DAW

The Scarlett 2i2 is compatible with any Windows-based DAW that supports ASIO or WDM and any
Mac-based DAW that uses Core Audio. After following the Getting Started procedure described
above, you can start using the Scarlett 2i2 with the DAW of your choice. To allow you to get started
if you do not already have a DAW application installed on your computer, both Pro Tools | First and
Ableton Live Lite are included; these will be available to you once you've registered your Scarlett 2i2.
If you need help installing either DAW, please visit our Getting Started pages at
https://focusrite.com/get-started, where Getting Started videos are available.
Operating instructions for Pro Tools | First and Ableton Live Lite are beyond the scope of this User
Guide, but both applications include a full set of Help fi les. Instructions are also available at www.
avid.com and www.ableton.com respectively.
Please note - your DAW may not automatically select the Scarlett 2i2 as its default I/O device. In this
Focusrite USB ASIO
case, you must manually select as the driver on your DAW's Audio Setup*
page. Please refer to your DAW's documentation (or Help fi les) if you are unsure where to select the
ASIO or Core Audio driver. The example below shows the correct confi guration in the Ableton Live
Preferences
Lite panel (Windows version shown).
