So i just got my Schiit Heresy in yesterday but i haven’t set it up yet because the cables to connect into my Focusrite Scarlett Solo are coming in today. I’ve never set anything up like this before and all these google searches are leading me into dead ends. I was wondering if anyone knows what i need to do to connect my Amp to my AI and what i need to do on my computer to get the it to recognize the AMP. Also on another side note. I’m also getting my DT1990’s coming in today and wanted to know if i switch the Heresy to HI or Low gain for the the headphones.
So you would want to plug in the 1/4 inch cables into the monitor outs on the focusrite, and then plug the other side rca into the input of the schiit. You would want to start off on low gain for the amp. You want to turn the monitor volume on the focusrite almost all the way up. You also should set the default device on your PC as the focusrite and make sure you installed the focusrite driver
Understood. I don’t need to turn on direct monitoring or anything like that on the Focusrite?
You can turn on direct monitoring if you want to listen to your mic in real time through your headphones. If you don’t want that, turn it off
Alrighty then. Thought it was a lot more complicated than that. Thanks for the help. Spent too much time searching google for the answers and not a lot of people do it this way.
