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) and mixing (sending signals out to
outboard processors or external mixer).
Clicking the
Routing Preset… button opens a list from which a further selection may be made; each
of the options is described below.
Clear
Clicking
Clear deselects all output routing. This is useful for resetting all routing when starting a
new task; it saves you from having to manually turn everything off first.
DAW Tracking
DAW Tracking is intended to be used for the initial recording process. It automatically routes DAW
Tracks 1 and 2 to all outputs as odd-even pairs; this includes the front panel Headphone Outputs. All
the input channels must be monitored from within the DAW application
Zero Latency Tracking
The
Zero Latency Tracking option can be used during the recording process. It routes the outputs
of Mix 1 and Mix 2 to all your Line Outputs simultaneously as odd-even pairs; this includes the front
panel Headphone Outputs. Line Inputs and DAW outputs must be set up in Mix 1(if stereo, or Mixes
1 and 2 if mono) so that you 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.)
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
Mixing preset can be used during the mixing stage. DAW tracks are routed to the line output of
the same number, e.g., DAW tracks 1-4 are routed to Line Outputs 1 to 4, and tracks 5 and 6 to the
S/PDIF output as a stereo pair.
