Clarett 8 Pre Issues
I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure this out.
I submitted a trouble ticket to Focusrite a couple of days ago and have not heard back. I’m literally dead in the water until I can get this resolved. Any source or instrument into the Clarett 8 Pre can be heard in the monitors and headphones out side of Pro Tools. When Pro Tools is running I can still hear the input source through the monitors and headphones - when I record arm the track I can hear the source twice, the original source and a slightly delayed duplicate. Nothing I have tried in FC seems to resolve this. Here’s my setup: Pro Tools 2019.6 Focusrite Control 3.2.1 Avid Artist Mix Avid Dock Focusrite Clarett 8 Pre Focusrite OctpPre Mk II Dynamic ART HeadAmp 6 Pro MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, mid 2015) 2.8 gHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 macOS Mojave, 10.14.5 Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

Re: Clarett 8 Pre Issues
You have hardware monitoring enabled in the Clarrett 8. You need to read the appropriate Focusrite manual. What one are you using now?
Work out if your interface uses the old MixControl or the newer Focusrite Control. For a USB Pre I think it may be Mix Control. I would hope that info would be clear with whatever Focusrite supplied with your interface. MixControl https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-...Creating-Mixes User Control https://d2zjg0qo565n2.cloudfront.net...user-guide.pdf Nothing related to Pro Tools here. |

Re: Clarett 8 Pre Issues
Focusrite Control is *hardware monitoring* get rid of those signal paths, turn off whatever it is doing if you only want to monitor though Pro Tools.
Or even better with no Pro Tools running you should play with Focusrite Control until you understand how it works. |

Re: Clarett 8 Pre Issues
It can take just a bit to get your head wrapped around it since it is kind of a "go between" for Pro Tools (or any DAW) so that you can monitor direct OR DAW monitor.
The manuals for the 8 Pre and Focusrite Control do a decent job explaining, but sometimes more is desired. Look at the link for tutorials from Focusrite below. Hope that helps ya. I love my Clarett 8Pre X. https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-...usrite-Control

Re: Clarett 8 Pre Issues
Thanks for the input Cowboy Bob!
I Found that if I turn OFF low latency monitoring in Pro Tools I can now here what's being sent to the track when I arm it for recording. I have the hardware inputs muted in FC. So far so good. Except there are some latency problems now. Trying to work through that. H/W Buffer size = 128 Samples Any additional input will be much appreciated! Last edited by gscaife; 07-15-2019 at 02:53 PM.

Re: Clarett 8 Pre Issues
Turning off low-latency monitoring turn on Pro Tools software monitoring, that is all that does. So yes then naturally you can hear stuff via Pro Tools.
latency... you either run at a lower IO buffer or you use actually use hardware monitoring. |
