Audio Setup in your DAW
The Scarlett 6i6 is compatible with any Windows-based DAW that supports ASIO or WDM* or any Mac-
based DAW that uses Core Audio. After installing Scarlett MixControl and connecting the hardware,
you can start using your Scarlett 6i6 with the DAW of your choice. To allow you to get started if you do
not already have a DAW application installed on your computer, Ableton Live Lite is included; this will
be available to you once you’ve downloaded and activated your software on-line. To install Ableton
Live Lite, download and save the Ableton installer file from your registered Focusrite “My Products”
page as described previously, and then run it, following all 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.
*only compatible with 16-bit audio under WDM
Please note - your DAW may not automatically select the Scarlett 6i6 as its default I/O device. In this
case, you must manually select the driver on your DAW’s Audio Setup* page (select Scarlett 6i6
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 below shows
the correct configuration in the Ableton Live Lite Preferences panel (Mac version shown).
Once the Scarlett 6i6 is set as the preferred Audio Device* in your DAW, all six inputs and twelve
outputs (this is the maximum number of DAW outputs that can route to the MixControl software)
will appear in your DAW’s Audio I/O preferences. Depending on your DAW, you may need to enable
certain inputs or outputs before use. The two examples below show two inputs and two outputs
enabled in Ableton Live Lite Audio Preferences.
*Typical name. Terminology may differ slightly between DAWs.
