DEVICE SETTINGS
Click on the cog icon to open the Device Settings pane, which slides out from the left of the screen;
click the icon again to close it. The Device Settings pane lets you make various global settings to the
hardware interface which will remain in force until you change them. The pane for the Scarlett 18i20
is shown below:
Monitor Controls
It is very convenient (and traditional!) to adjust your master monitoring volume with a conventional
rotary control. Scarlett interfaces have a MONITOR control on the front panel for this purpose.
However, further configuration of this control is available for the 18i20 and 18i8 when using Focusrite
Control.
Normally (i.e., by default), the MONITOR control adjusts the level at Monitor Outputs 1 and 2 while also
providing Mute and Dim control. If you are using some of the Scarlett’s other outputs for secondary
speakers – typically nearfield, though also in LCR or surround setups – you can assign the rotary
control, Mute and DIM switches to affect them as well. Note that on the Scarlett 18i20, the interface
also has physical Mute and DIM switches on the front panel.
