Hello .
I'm thinking to get a Scarlett 6i6 , i need to know if the line inputs and volume control will work fine without usb connection or with the pc off .
I want to use it with a standalone guitar interface plugged in the line in and studio monitors in the line out of the 6i6.
I actually have a line 6 Ux1 and the sound without usb conection is too low.
I have to plug the monitors in the guitar interface directly or turn on the pc to play guitar and get full sound.
Yes, the Scarlett 6i6 can operate in a 'stand-alone' mode. You are required to save your Mix Control settings to the hardware whilst connected to your computer, once that is done, the 6i6 will operate stand-alone (i.e. not connected to your computer) with the Mix Control settings you have saved onto it.
I hope this answers your question.
Please don't hesitate to get in contact if you have other questions.
