Interface ins/outs question

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Not synth specific but I figured you guys may have some insight. Didn't get much response on the audio engineering sub.</p> <p>Scarlett 4i4. I have been using line outs 3 and 4 to insert some pedals, going back to inputs 3 and 4. Doing this seems to cause the headphone out to become disabled, or unusable.</p> <p>I am only really able to use monitors 50% of the time. It would get annoying switching things around but technically speaking can I do the same type thing with outs 1 and 2? Meaning use those to send out to my pedals and then leave 3/4 intact to use for my headphones?</p> <p>I also assume that if I were to get a larger interface with more outs I wouldn't have this issue, I could have monitors/headphones and some outs to send to pedals all going at the same time. Would the 8i6 even allow this? It has 2 extra line ins but still just the 4 line outs. Even the 18i8 only has the 4 line outs.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/zub_dub22"> /u/zub_dub22 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/msiyfm/interface_insouts_question/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/msiyfm/interface_insouts_question/">[comments]</a></span>
