The Clarett 2Pre is an excellent choice for numerous recording and monitoring applications.
Some typical configurations are shown below.
1. Recording a solo artist
This setup illustrates a typical configuration for multitrack recording with DAW software on your
computer.
In this case, two sources – a microphone and a guitar – are connected to the Clarett 2Pre’s inputs.
As the guitar is connected to Input 2, ensure that INST mode is selected for Input 2 from Focusrite
Control, and that the INST LED is illuminated.
The connection to the computer running DAW software is via a Thunderbolt™ cable. This will carry
all the input and output signals between the DAW and the Clarett 2Pre. Once the audio setup is
correctly configured in the DAW, each input source will be available for recording in the DAW.
A mix of the recorded tracks will be available at Line Outputs 1 and 2, so that you can hear the results
on the speakers.
