Sorry, I should have specified that I use a II. What meant to convey is that my Focusrite 18i8 does not color the sound via USB...
Thank you Joe, I will try all of this now.Set your AxeFx for Input 1 Rear, and then build a preset of all SHUNTs.
Actually, I missed the S/PDIF. Change your MAIN INPUT SOURCE to S/PDIF.Thank you Joe, I will try all of this now.
So I make the input set to rear, use the S/PDIF OUT of the AX8 into the S/PDIF IN & create a rig w/ only a single long shunt (aka cane) from input to output then?
I'll start there & try that out.

Thanks again w/ all of this Joe!Actually, I missed the S/PDIF. Change your MAIN INPUT SOURCE to S/PDIF.
Joe, this totally worked & all is great!Actually, I missed the S/PDIF. Change your MAIN INPUT SOURCE to S/PDIF.
Thanks again w/ all of this Joe!
Maybe I should have just asked this.....What's the BEST WAY to run the AX8 through the AXE FX to record through USB & only use the AXE as an interface?
You're being of great help to me here & I truly appreciate your time & energy!

Hi Chris. The 6i6 is ok though right?Just want to mention that the 2i2 does not allow stereo monitoring and this problem has been about 90% of the support emails I get directly, regarding recording. I do not suggest the 2i2 for the Axe or AX8.
Focuseite's clarett 2pre can be had for just under $400 usd second hand. Believe it can be used for stereo monitoring (in the software) if I'm not mistaken and sports thunderbolt.
I considered all of these, settled with the 6i6. Superb interface, absolutely no worries so far. Digital mixer is a godsend, which gives you very flexible routing options. Didn't get the KA6, because you couldn't directly monitor SPDIF (only outputs 1/2 if I remember correctly).
I stayed away from the Quad Capture for something to do with the headphone and the main out volumes being linked (I think, can't quite recall if that was the exact issue).
I plan to monitor the AX8 directly over SPDIF to the 6i6, and then record to a DAW, for zero latency tracking.
Just want to mention that the 2i2 does not allow stereo monitoring and this problem has been about 90% of the support emails I get directly, regarding recording. I do not suggest the 2i2 for the Axe or AX8.
So, just to be clear is it only Focusrite models as low as the 2i2 that do not monitor in stereo? Or is it for all Scarlets? I've been planning on getting the 6i6 (due to the S/PDIF connection) and doing all my direct recording and monitoring from the interface. Stereo monitoring shouldn't be an issue with the 6i6, right? I'll be recording with a PC, don't have an Apple, so I'll be going the USB interface route.
