Your OS should automatically switch the computer’s default audio outputs to be the USB port to
which the Scarlett 2i2 is connected. To verify this:
• on Windows 7 or Windows Vista go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound >
Sound > Manage Audio Devices and ensure that Default Playback’ and Recordingare
set to ‘Scarlett 2i2
• on Windows XP, go to Start > Control Panel > Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices
> Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio tab and ensure that Sound Playbackand
Recording’ are set to ‘Scarlett 2i2
Connecting your Scarlett 2i2
IMPORTANT: Before you connect the Scarlett 2i2 to your computer,
please complete the software installation according to the
instructions above. This will ensure that the hardware uses the
correct drivers, and will prevent unexpected behaviour.
The Scarlett 2i2 has a single USB 2.0 port (on the rear panel). Once the software installation is
complete, simply connect the Scarlett 2i2 to your computer using the USB cable provided. (Note that
Scarlett 2i2 is a USB 2.0 device and thus the USB connection requires a USB 2.0+ compliant port on
your computer. It will not operate correctly with USB 1.0/1.1 ports.)
Audio Setup in your DAW
The Scarlett 2i2 is compatible with any Windows-based DAW that supports ASIO or WDM and any
Mac-based DAW that uses Core Audio. After installing the drivers and connecting the hardware,
you can start using the Scarlett 2i2 with the DAW of your choice. Ableton Live Lite is included on the
Scarlett 2i2 Resources DVD to allow you to get started if you do not already have a DAW application
installed on your computer. To install Ableton Lite Live, locate the file Ableton Live Lite on the
DVD, double-click it and follow the on-screen instructions. Operating instructions for Ableton Live
Lite are beyond the scope of this User Guide, but the application includes a full set of Help files.
Please note - your DAW may not automatically select the Scarlett 2i2 as its default I/O device. In this
case, you must manually select the driver on your DAW’s Audio Setup* page (select “Scarlett 2i2”
driver for Mac, or “Focusrite USB 2.0” driver for Windows). Please refer to your DAW’s documentation
(or Help files) if you are unsure where to select the ASIO/Core Audio driver. The example on the
following page shows the correct configuration in the Ableton Live Lite Preferences panel (Mac
version shown).
*Typical name. Terminology may differ slightly between DAWs.
