The Clarett Mixer – basic principles

Your Clarett interface contains an internal audio mixer which allows you to create one or more mixes

of the various audio sources in your system, and send them to the physical outputs of your interface.

These sources include tracks you have recorded on your DAW as well as the sources connected to

the Clarett’s various physical inputs. Before starting to use Focusrite Control, it is a good idea to gain

an understanding of the basic principle of this mixer.

The basic idea of an audio mixer will be familiar to most users: a large number of input signals

are combined to a smaller number of outputs – often just a stereo pair. On a traditional analogue

hardware mixer, you will find a number of identical input channels in the form of vertical strips with

faders and other controls, and switches on each channel let you decide where its signal is sent. This

is called “routing”.

The mixer in your Clarett is no different – its inputs are the various physical inputs on the interface

itself, plus DAW tracks you may have already recorded. The outputs are the interface’s various
physical outputs plus two “loopback” outputs which feed back into the DAW. The diagram below

shows this principle using the Clarett 8Pre as an example:

Focusrite Control provides a visual representation of the mixer on your screen. A big advantage of

Focusrite Control is it only displays the inputs you actually want to use.
