Bass goes into Focusrite which goes into PC which goes into Abelton via the Focusrite ASIO driver.
Headphones are plugged into the Focusrite Headphone jack.
Monitors are plugged into the Focusrite Monitor outputs on back of Focusrite, direct monitor switch turned on.
The two modes are:
- Press record in abelton and play, sound plays through headphones / monitors
- Stop recording, press play in Abelton
The sound clips posted above were done by sticking my iPhone in front of one of the monitors and using voice memo to record both modes in one clip.
Although the recording was done using the monitors on the back of the focusrite, the same effect can be observed in both the monitors and the headphones.
Based on this, the assumption would be any PC based mods would effect both, no?
Unless the signal path is different on the focusrite monitor and headphone outputs for recording and playback, which seems unlikely and why I point to the ASIO driver or abelton or abelton’s control of the ASIO driver.
