The Focusrite only has left and right line out - you need a power amp or powered cabinets to do this. My speaker system is a Fostex monitor set with a pair of desktop speakers and a separate sub woofer, all of which come out of my desktop computer with a single cable. If I'm not mistaken, the power amp is in the sub with a crossover and powers it AND the desktop speakers. The problem is: I don't want to hear the already recorded tracks through the speakers as it will pick up in the mic that I'm using to record the acoustic guitar track. I'm new to this, I want to monitor the existing tracks in the headphones along with the acoustic track that I'm recording. Do the already recorded tracks play back through the headphones when I'm recording? If not, how would I do it? I know that the interface manual will probably explain this but I don't have it yet.
