Once I got a simple setup working with the Scarlett & AUM, I moved on to my other 'problem', some new PreSonus Eris E5 monitors that were picking up seriously bad interference from my PC when connected with unbalanced RCA or jack cables. Thanks - I will spend some time tomorrow sorting out the outputs as you suggest & according to how I need to route things.

I've now set all the DAW channels direct to the outputs (so no Mix involved) to have full control with AUM - it means no sound if I don't hook up AUM but I can probably fine-tune that later using a properly configured Mix. Hence when I sent a guitar signal into Input 1, it was being passed straight through to the monitors along with the output from ToneStack etc. My Scarlett config until now was sending Mix1 to the outputs and Mix1 was configured with the physical inputs all on AND DAW1/2 I think. TBH, I find this Mix option confusing but I'm sure I'll get my head around it! Regarding the option to send a 'Mix' to an output, now that I've started to research hardware mixers more, I think these are analogous to a Bus, so you can have various inputs (& outputs?) enabled in a Mix (ie send them to that Bus) then configure an output to take from that Mix. Taking the outputs from DAW channels instead didn't make sense to me until now, but I think that gives me my AUM control. There's no obvious 'Direct Monitor' option or button but reading the website, I believe sending the physical inputs direct to the outputs achieves this. The physical outputs can be taken from either a physical input, a DAW channel (presumably the output from) or a 'Mix'.

The Scarlett is controlled by the MixControl software which is PC and Mac only (even on the latest Mk2 interfaces) - it doesn't have a Matrix for connections, rather it presents itself like a traditional Mixer. I'm a noob with this stuff but from what I now know. I also want to integrate the POD output, maybe swap the POD out for another modeler (would love a Kemper but not yet.) and bring in stereo from an iPhone for backing. The Trio has 2 outputs also - Amp (Looper & guitar signal) and Mix (Drums & Bass) and if I'm using an iPad AmpSim I want to selectively disconnect the Amp output if I'm not recording a loop, so prevent multiple copies of the audio. What I want to do is plug a guitar into a Digitech Trio+ (produces drums & bass + looper), take the FX loop from that into the Scarlett Input 1, return a mono output from Output 5 (with a splitter) back into the Trio and a mono from Output 6 into an external modeler (eg Line6 Pod HD) - then I can use AUM to 1) load an iPad amp sim like ToneStack, routing back to the Trio, 2) just load some FX apps and route to the Trio or 3) skip any FX and route straight to the POD. I just tried a simple setup, routed DAW1/2 to Monitor Output 1/2 and it works now. Really they are more of a 'Virtual Route' I guess. Thank you for any - THANK YOU! That was the missing link, I've never really used an interface with a DAW before so I was ignoring those routing options in MixControl thinking they weren't relevant. If this is all correct, then is there another interface, or mixer that doesn't behave like this ?! At one time I was going to get a SoundCraft Signature 12 MTK mixer, I think this would work better but then it kind of makes AUM redundant surely? I was really, really banking on this working so I could use AUM as a digital mixer for my day to day changing needs - I don't want to have to connect the interface to my PC every time I want to change the routing, I mostly use iPad these days. Have I missed something fundamental? Is there a way to tell the Scarlett not to hard-code the routings? Conversely, if MixControl is configured to route Input 5/6 to the Main Outputs 1/2, then I can't stop it doing that in AUM. For example, if I have a stereo input on Scarlett inputs 5/6 but the last MixControl config saved to the Scarlett was with Inputs 5/6 muted, then nothing I can do in AUM will give me audio from those inputs. What I've realised is that the interface will only route what it has been configured to route in the MixControl software (PC/Mac only !!!). I got so excited about this and spent ages drawing my routing diagrams to make best use of the inputs/outputs and this morning sat down to connect it all up.

Hi All, I have a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 interface connected to my iPad and am trying to use AUM to route the audio internal to the interface because I have some different routing requirements depending on what hardware I want to use (looper, real amp, ampsim etc). TL DR - I thought I could use AUM as a digital mixer to route audio within the Scarlett interface (take Input 1, route to Output 3 etc) but it appears the Scarlett only routes what MixControl (PC/Mac) app tells it to route.

I posted this on the AUM forum but wondered whether anyone here has some experience with this?
