Monitoring problem-Please help

hey everyone, i'm trying figure out how monitor audio in audition cs6.  i'm using mac , upgraded soundtrack pro.  easlly monitored audio though headphones while using soundtrack.  setup consists of mic going usb interface saffire 6 usb runs mac via usb.

 

i'm confused on i've researched far....can monitor audio in waveform?  or in multitrack? or both?

 

my settings in audition consist of:

 

audio hardware:

 

device class: coreaudio

default input: saffire 6

default output: built in output (i have option of choosing saffire 6 here, doesn't make adifference in i've tried)

 

master clock: saffire (can choose built in output here)

clock source: internal

 

i/o buffer size: 256

sample rate: 44100

 

in audio channel mapping:

 

device saffire 6usb

file channels show l , r l mono.  both saffire 6usb 1

 

output

device:built in output

 

file channels show 1 [l] , 2[r]. 

l has device channel of built in output 1 , r has built in output 2

 

are these right settings?  i've noticed on multitrack mode there "monitoring input" , i've played with no new outcome.

 

any appreciated!  , if need more info please ask...i tried put down think of. 

you should use headphone monitor on saffire 6 set sort of thing--it has function mix between playback from  computer , input (in case, mic).

 

audition doesn't provide output when you're in waveform view--this pretty normal, hence facility on saffire 6.

 

multitrack set differently , there feature select , mix tracks send output when recording in multitrack--however, here norm mix between pre-recorded tracks , new source(s) in audio interface.

 

i'm not mac user but, assuming there similarlty between pc , mac, can pain use 2 different audio devices--there way in mac (i think it's called setting composite device in core audio) it's far tidier , easier set using  saffire everything.

 

finally (and perhaps mac user can confirm or deny i'm say) suspect might better off downloading , installing dedicated device drivers focusrite web site rather using core audio.
