Monitor section
The output levels of the monitor outputs and line outputs are congured in the Monitor Section. Scarlett 8i6 can be set up so that the
audio sent to the line outputs are controlled by the software volume dial; independent of the software volume dial; or muted.
Monitor control enable buttons (1 to 4)
The monitor control enable buttons indicate which outputs are controlled by the monitor section on the GUI directly below the 4
buttons. The Scarlett 8i6 can be set up so that there is control of volume levels, and depending on themonitoring set-up, level sent to
just a single pair of speakers, or up to 4 speakers can be controlled simultaneously.
(All digital output levels are unaffected by the monitor section in Scarlett MixControl. The output levels set up in the DAW are used to
control digital output levels).
Each button can be set to 1 of 3 possible states:
Blue - this output is controlled by the below monitor section
Red - this output is not controlled by the below monitor section and it is muted
Grey - this output is not controlled by the below monitor section and it is at full level.
To set a button to its grey state, SHIFT + Click the button
WARNING: When a monitor control button is set to ‘Grey’, the signal routed to that output will be played back at full level.
This may potentially result in a very loud signal being sent to your monitor speakers, headphones or other equipment.
Therefore is is important to be cautious when setting levels (in the DAW or the Scarlett MixControl Mixer) before setting the monitor
button to Grey.
