Make sure that the outputs you want available to your daw are set as "DAW 1, DAW 2, DAW 3" etc. It does require setting routing up properly in Mix Control initially though, which can be pretty confusing. (Well.Technically it's always running since it's part of the Pro 40's driver, but you don't need to actually use it). I don't use Pro Tools, I use Reaper, but the only time I ever use Mix Control is when I need to make changes to buffer settings, otherwise I never open it up as it doesn't do anything useful for me on a normal basis, and Reaper has no issues addressing all inputs and outputs without it running. Just watch it over and over until it sinks in. Me start to understand what the point of the software is and how it works. I would suggest watching Graham Cochranes video about this on thr Recording Revolution channel. It can be a little intimidating at first but the more you use it, the more it will make sense. MixControl gives you a ton of flexibility with how you want to setup headphone mixes and hear what you want to hear in real-time. This is the beauty of the MixControl software because it is zero-latency monitoring that is independent from pro tools which I think is amazing. If you monitor inside pro tools, you will experience latency even if you take the h/w buffer size down as low as you can get it. You can use MixControl as your zero-latency mixer and bypass all the monitoring inside pro tools (which i recommend), or you can bypass the MixControl mixer and monitor everything inside pro tools. In terms of using it with pro tools, you have two options. It's not a tall order.Well, first off, you do have to use the MixControl because that is the driver for the interface so it does need to be open and configured correctly to use the interface. The forum will help you get this to work, mate. What do you see listed in the Playback tab? When you go into Cakewalk Preferences Playback and Recording/Driver Mode, what is that set to? What about Devices?īack in Windows, Hit Win-R then type Control Panel into the box and hit Enter. When you go into Windows Settings/System/Sound/Output, what devices are listed in the pulldown? What kind of speakers do you have and where are they plugged in? Where are your cans plugged in? Start with where everything is plugged in. Next, tell us how your audio system is configured now. So, first item of business, can you remember how you had it set up when it was working? First, some other poor sod who has the problem in the future can read it and do what you did and make it work. All I know is what I suggested, but I think you went with something more like suggested, which is fine.Īfter you've nailed a problem it's a good idea to post in the forum thread what your solution was. Previous to this, you said you had everything working, which was great, but at that point you did't tell us what you had selected in Cakewalk's Preferences or Windows Settings or any of that, so I have no way of knowing what configuration worked for you. You rebooted and "up comes a message." Is from Windows, Cakewalk, or what? You didn't mention starting Cakewalk. Going forward, please be more specific about certain things. look in preferences and everything has gone, no mention of focusrite no drivers no sound NO NOTHING!! Reboot Up comes a message saying that there are no outputs. Prior to that "Sound Settings" alone opened the control panel right off. *IF* you have the 1903 version of Win10, you need an extra step to drill into the sound control panel (Sound Settings->Sound Control Panel (in the upper right)). This is an old post talking about how to set up the Realtek as the Windows default with another Audio Interface available (Saffire and Scarlett can be interchanged). The Realtek/Windows combo works well to playback just about everything, you just cannot record decent audio with it. On boot, *if* the Scarlett is the default device, Win10 will take control of it, and may assign it (lock it) to some internal playback, which can effectively can "lock it out" on you. The issue is that for ASIO, only one program can control it, and if it is at a different sample rate than another program wants to use, then it will not play back. As mentioned above, setting Windows to use the Realtek as the default device, will make it leave the Scarlett alone. Some of the issues may lie in your Windows Sound Control Panel settings.
