Does anyone know how to set this up? How do I setup the Scarlett's SPDIF to act as a send/return for a piece of hardware?

Thanks for taking the time!

Hi,

You'd need to choose a separate set of outputs other than 1 and 2 in Pro Tools to feed the SPDIF, eg outputs 5 and 6. Then in Scarlett MixControl route DAW 5 and DAW 6 to the SPDIF outputs. The SPDIF inputs are inputs 9 and 10 so you'll need to select these as the inputs.

Let me know if you have any problems with setting this up.

Best regards,

Chris

Thank you Chris! I will try that and report back.

Honestly I'm just having trouble getting the Mixcontrol thing in general. I really want to use my Scarlett without the dang mixcontrol. Can this be done?
