Playing along to music with Head Phones

[Fahri]

I wanted to limit the amps on headphone conversation to one thread so linking to @Paul 's message on the Show your amps thread

Show us your amps

I’m positive you should get a solid sound on your focusrite. That is the whole reason why you have a DI out in your amp so that you can plug it in your audio interface. The best thing to do is eliminate every option until you find the culprit. Personally I think it could be something with your cable (for example is it TRS and not TS). I did read somewhere that the headphone output on the scarlett is a bit weak, but not as extreme in your situation. So here goes: Is it the right …

I am using a balanced XLR to TRS cable to connect to Scarlet and keeping it on the “LINE” mode.

The sound level is significantly different between “Direct Monitor” and when I turn on Ableton Live Mixer but even there it is not crazy high volume. (I am not deaf of course but if I have to max to volume just to hear something normally I don’t get convinced)

My Focusrite Scarlet Solo only has one gain knob and one volume knob. As I said on the previous message I cannot get the gain higher than 1/4 without clipping the signal and the volume is all the way up.
