Craig Wojo Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi everyone, Happy Memorial Day. Remember all that served and gave their all. God bless all. I have a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 and would like to monitor certain tracks only to my headset (left side) then my vocals on the right while recording. The studio monitors would play all the tracks that the surface controller or Sonar has selected (for the other band members who are in the control room). Is this something that the Sound Interface (Focusrite Scarlett 6i6) control. Thank you and God bless, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Use the 2nd headphone output, and route your monitor mix outputs accordingly to outputs 3 & 4 (i.e. tracks to output 3, vocals to output 4). It's probably worth creating two buses within SONAR for this purpose (one panned left, and one panned right), but both set to output to outputs 3&4. You can create sends on the relevant tracks/busses to set the levels. You may need to check within the MixControl app that the outputs 3&4 are routed to headphone 2. They are by default, but you may have changed them. Edited May 26, 2019 by msmcleod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I have the 6i6, The mix control software is capable of any mix your heart desires. You'll just have to take the time to understand how it works. There are lot's of good videos explaining how to set it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Wojo Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Thanks, Cactus Music. Could you link me to the videos that you recommend for learning the 6i6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msmcleod Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The Groove3 video is the better IMO, but unfortunately it's not free: https://www.groove3.com/tutorials/Focusrite-MixControl-Explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Wojo Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Thank you msmcleod. I have the 2nd Gen in which does not have the MixControl... it has the Focusrite Control. I will watch the video and maybe it will enlighten my knowledge with somethings (many) I don't understand as of yet. I will look at this one also from Mark Warren... Thank you and God Bless, Craig Edited May 30, 2019 by Craig Wojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
