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!

To record, you have to make sure that there's a valid input assigned to a track, and then enable the track for recording using the red R button. Then hit Record on the transport controls. Anything missing from this, and it won't record!


Yep, have the red R button on, have the mono correct input selected. I hit record and i get no levels and no waveform.
