3. Providing foldback while recording

While recording, musicians will often prefer to hear themselves along with the other players, and

when overdubbing, the tracks that have already been recorded. A mix created for this purpose, which

the musician can hear on headphones while performing, is called foldback.

Focusrite Control lets you deﬁne several different mixes, each of which may be either mono or stereo,

and which may be routed to any of the Clarett 4Pre’s outputs. This enables individual musicians to

have a foldback mix optimised to their own requirements. In this way, each foldback feed can be made

up from a different mix of a musician’s own input, the live contributions from the other performers,

and DAW tracks which have already been recorded. See the Focusrite Control Guide for details of

how to conﬁgure different mixes, and how to route them to the Claret’s 4Pre’s various outputs.

Each of the two headphone outputs on the front panel initially provide a default mix: Headphone 1’s

mix is always the same stereo mix that is routed to Line Outputs 3 and 4, while Headphone 2 has a

completely independent mix dedicated for headphone monitoring use. You can adjust the content

of both mixes in Focusrite Control - that for Outputs 3/4 deﬁnes what is heard by Headphones 1,

and that for Outputs 5/6 (which have no corresponding rear panel sockets) deﬁnes what is heard by

Headphones 2 .

Either or both of these may be used for foldback mixes; each output can drive a pair of headphones

directly. This is the easiest method, and has the advantage that the mixes are stereo. If you need to

drive additional pairs of headphones, you’ll need to include an external headphone ampliﬁer as part

of your set-up:

Headphone Distribution Amplifier

Always remember - when sourcing monitor mixes from input signals, ensure that the DAW channels

on which you are recording are muted, otherwise the musicians will hear themselves “twice”, with

one signal audibly delayed as an echo.
