This tab will show you settings related to the interface's mic, instrument and line inputs and how they have been configured. It may not appear to be a big step up from the 18i6, but they're worlds apart in terms of physical connectivity" The combo inputs automatically switch between mic and line sources based on plug type, and the 60dB of gain handles low-level signals well. The input LEDs do the job, although there's no option to switch them to output monitoring. One minor issue: in some circumstances, the monitor mute and level can be a bit slow to respond. Focusrite say it's a software problem that'll be fixed soon in an update. Hi-res 24-bit/192kHz converters give recordings stunning clarity. High dynamic range and ultra-low noise makes sure Scarlett sounds just like you. The third-generation Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 boasts the expandability of audio interfaces more than twice its price, making it a compelling choice for growing home studios.

This tab will show you your interface's outputs and what is routed to them. There are three output routing options available for each output: This article will explain how to use multiple inputs on your interface in Voice over IP (VoIP) applications that will only accept incoming audio from the first one or two audio inputs on an external audio interface. This can be useful for a number of different practices such as video lessons, conference calls, podcasting and even live streaming, where you are using more than two inputs. Another advantage of using the steps in this article to set up your audio interface is that you can have a separate mix of audio for what your VoIP audience hears, compared to what you hear in your headphones/speakers which is commonly referred to as a “Mix-minus”. Under the Output Routing section, choose an output to use. In this example, we are splitting Line Outputs 3-4 into two mono outputs and using Line Output 3. Eight balanced line inputs for connecting synthesisers, drum machines, and other line-level sources
