Creating an effects loop
The Scarlett 8i6 allows the easy integration of external outboard processors or effects. A good example
is the inclusion of an outboard stereo compressor to a recording setup similar to that outlined above.
Connect Line Outputs 3 and 4 to the compressor’s inputs, and the compressor’s outputs to Line
Inputs 3 and 4, as shown below. We have omitted the front panel connections in this example for
clarity.

for details of connectors
You can adjust the levels to and from the external processor from Focusrite Control, if necessary.
