Routing Presets - Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 User Manual

Remember that the signal available at the front panel 'Headphones 1' output jack will always be the
signal currently routed to Line Outputs 7 and 8. The 'Headphones 2' output follows Line Outputs 9
and 10 in a similar manner.
Note: ADAT SMUX - When working at sample rates of 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz,
the total number of ADAT channels available drops from eight (at 44.1/48
kHz) to four. At these sample rates, ADAT channels 5-8 are greyed out.

Routing Presets

As Scarlett MixControl permits such great flexibility in routing possibilities, Routing Presets are
provided to help you with making your routing and mixer set-ups. Using Presets enables you to
set up your routing quickly for recording (monitoring your inputs); mixing (sending signals out to
outboard processors or external mixer).
Clicking the button opens a list from which a further selection may be made; each
Routing Preset...
of the options is described below.
Clear
Clicking deselects all output routing. This is useful for resetting all routing when starting a
Clear
new task; it saves you from having to manually turn everything off first.
DAW Tracking
is intended to be used for the initial recording process. It automatically routes DAW
DAW Tracking
Tracks 1 and 2 to all Line Outputs as odd-even pairs; this includes the main Monitor Outputs (1 and
2) and the front panel Headphone Outputs 1 and 2. All the input channels must be monitored from
within the DAW application.
Zero Latency Tracking
The option can be used during the recording process. It routes the outputs
Zero Latency Tracking
of Mix 1 and Mix 2 to all your Line Outputs simultaneously as odd-even pairs; this includes the main
Monitor Outputs (1 and 2) and the front panel Headphone Outputs 1 and 2. Line Inputs and DAW
outputs must be set up in Mix 1(if stereo, or Mixes 1 and 2 if mono) so that you are can monitor these
sources with ultra-low latency. You should ensure that you are not monitoring the same signals
within your DAW at the same time, otherwise you will hear the signal twice (once direct from Scarlett
MixControl and a second time delayed - because of latency - from your DAW.)
