Focusrite Solo For Mac Ableton

Aug 15, 2014  Support // Getting started with 1st Gen Scarlett Solo and Ableton Live on PC - Duration. How to Fix Interface problems on the MAC 2017. Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio Pack Review.

  • Once installed, launch the Focusrite Control app to configure the Scarlett’s settings and create custom monitor or headphone mixes. Do I need Focusrite Control? 2i2 and Solo interfaces are class compliant on Mac computers. That means they will work with the default Mac drivers and only need Focusrite Control for remote control or adjusting.
  • Sep 26, 2018 I'm trying to set up Ableton for bass recording. I just bought the Focusrite Solo and installed Ableton Live 9 Lite that came with it. My first problem was that the default sound driver option MME/DirectX has horrible latency and the Focusrite USB ASIO only shows signal in but never out.
