Monitor Section - Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 User Manual

TIP: If you are using a stereo mix, the left output channel will be routed to all odd-numbered
outputs and the right channel to all even-numbered outputs. With mono mixes, odd-numbered
mixes go to odd-numbered outputs and even-numbered mixes to even-numbered outputs.
Mixing
The preset can be used during the mixing stage. DAW tracks are routed to the line output
Mixing
of the same number, e.g., DAW tracks 1-10 are routed to Monitor Outputs 1-2 and Line outputs
3-10 respectively. In the same manner, DAW tracks 11-18 are routed to the ADAT output connector
and tracks 19 and 20 to the S/PDIF output as a stereo pair. Thus all 20 tracks are simultaneously
available as physical outputs, if required.

Monitor Section

The signal levels at the monitor outputs and line outputs are adjusted in Scarlett MixControl's
Monitor Section. You can configure the hardware and software so that the VOLUME MONITOR control
on the front panel will set the overall monitoring volume via the desired outputs, such as your
stereo monitors or your surround sound system. Alternatively, the VOLUME MONITOR control can
be disabled for specific outputs; e.g., when you are using some of the outputs as sends to external
processors (such as a compressor), you want the front panel control to adjust only the level at the
outputs which are being used for monitoring purposes. Additional monitor functions such as mute,
dim and mono are also provided.
