To hear the inputs you’re recording back in stereo, we recommend monitoring back from your software instead (being sure to turn off Direct Monitor so that you don’t hear two instances of the signal).Īlternatively, the rest of our range of interfaces, such as the Scarlett 2i4 and up will allow you to directly monitor in stereo (see this article for information on how to use the Direct Monitor dial on the Scarlett 2i4). The signal will also be sent to your daw software allowing the input to be recorded at the same time.Īlthough these interfaces have two inputs, the signal heard back when using the Direct Monitor switch will be in mono, meaning that both inputs will be heard in both ears. It takes the input signal on the interface’s inputs and sends it straight to the headphone and line outputs on the device.

The above interfaces allow you to directly monitor the signal you’re recording using the Direct Monitor switch.ĭirect monitoring allows a user to listen to the input signal of the interface with near-zero latency.
