I just got a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 and tried to record my OP-1 today (with a stereo cable - headphone out to one Scarlett input) in Ableton Live 9.
However, I can only get a mono signal: it´s either fully Mono when I select the channel (4, in this case) or only right when I chose stereo (3/4 setting). Tried changing cables without a better result. The same thing is happening when I tried with the Analog Rytm (stereo cable, two outputs to one input of the audio interface). I already checked the “stereo” option on the Scarlett software, the driver is updated, restarted the computer, etc - nothing works.
As I know that some people here uses the Scarlett 18i8, I think that maybe someone can help me What I´m doing wrong? Or the analog inputs of the Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 are only mono?In this case what the stereo option do? Thanks a lot!
A last question about the mono/stereo signal routing: to use the headphones as outputs to process an stereo signal outside of the box and take it back, I still need to use two mono cables? Isn´t the headphones outputs stereo?
Yes. Just like in the last example, tho, it’s a question of the inputs on your effects device. If it has a stereo input, then u only require stereo / stereo cord.
