This setup illustrates a typical conguration for multitrack recording with DAW software on your
computer.
A selection of sources – microphones, two guitars and a keyboard – are shown connected to the
Clarett 8Pre’s inputs. Note that only Inputs 1 and 2 can be congured to accept instruments directly,
so we have chosen to plug the guitars into Inputs 1 and 2. Ensure INST mode is selected for Inputs 1
and 2 from Focusrite Control, and the INST LEDs are illuminated.
The connection to the computer running DAW software is via a Thunderbolt™ cable. This will carry
all the input and output signals between the DAW and the Clarett 8Pre. Once the audio setup is
correctly congured in the DAW, each input source will be automatically routed to its own DAW track
for recording.
