Cakewalk thinks I have different audio interface

[Anya Kinsella]

Hi All,

Hope you are all keeping safe and well.  I recently have purchased the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface and have been happy with it.  I have recorded using Ableton Live Lite and with Cakewalk to explore which I prefer.  Leaning towards Cakewalk.  However, when I try to record in Cakewalk from the 2nd input on my Scarlett, I can't.  In preferences, Cakewalk only offers a single input Focusrite as an option.  Ableton recognises the 2i2 model and accepts either input.  This is a problem.  I have been to the troubleshooting page and followed the advice which included the instructions to change driver mode, but that is already set to ASIO.  Can anyone help?    Thank you.

That's fine as the 2i2 only has 1 x stereo pair.

However, when you go to your track inputs you'll now get the choice of choosing the channels:

Cakewalk is probably only showing you a single stereo input.

Go to Preferences->Audio->Devices and check "Show Mono Outputs"

You'll then see 3 inputs:  one for the Left input (channel 1), one for the Right input (channel 2) and one for both inputs (stereo)

Thank you so much for your reply,  I have ticked the 'show mono outputs'  but it didn't change the settings.  I have included a screenshot if that helps, in case I'm getting it utterly wrong!
