Please help! When mapping inputs for my interface, I only see the option for 2 inputs, when there are 4 available on the interface....two mono instrument, and two line inputs. BUT no matter what inputs I select I cannot get any audio to come out in my session. Anyone else have this difficulty? What am I missing.

Assuming you've installed the Focusrite Control application and this is a PC (you haven't said...), you need to switch Audition's Drive Class setting to ASIO. If you don't do this you will only ever see a stereo output from the 4i4. ASIO lets you see each individual input. You also need to select the 4i4 as the destination for the audio output, I expect - then your session audio will be available; both inputs and outputs have to be specified. So to make sure you hear your session, check that the mix output is going to the right place.

Hi Steve, I am on Mac. When I go into Audition I don't have the option to select ASIO from the dropdown menu in the Audio Hardware preferences panel. The only selection is Core Audio. I did select the 4i4 for my output destination. I just see no way to add two more inputs anywhere. Thanks for your help!

It's set up correctly using core audio - you only get ASIO if it's a PC - as in my assumption. The extra inputs will only be visible in the track controls, and that's where you have to select them:

That's my MixPre, but exactly the same thing should happen with your 4i4 - all four should be available there as mono inputs...
