Newbie question, y’all, sorry, but there’s no damn website that explains how to handle any and all kind of audio connections! Why isn’t there such a website?!
That’s not the newbie question, however (though if you have an answer for it, I’m all hears), here’s the question: I want to hook up my OT to my monitors to get stereo sound. How do I do that? I have a focusrite scarlett 2i2 audio interface, but it doesn’t appear capable of being the stereo-sound bearing middleman that I want it to be. What kind of device do I need to transmit stereo sound from the OT to my monitors? Or is it a matter of having the right kind of cables?
When in direct monitor mode on the focusrite, everything is reduced to mono… kind of bummed me out too.
You could open a track in a daw, set it up for stereo in, hit record, capture your jam and hear it in stereo (being monitored through the daw).
Or, you could hook the OT main outs to your speakers and plug the focusrite outputs into the octatrack. Then you can capture anything playing out of your computer into the octatrack.
I can’t believe I didn’t think to plug the OT directly into the monitors. Thank you, musicmagus. This is working beautifully, and I love now being able to sample straight from my daw! THANK YOU!!
