Clarett+ 8Pre Question

[DonBrown2]

I followed the instructions to install alsa-scarlett-gui, and everything went as expected. Great job by the way. I did notice that the LINE/INST buttons show up for the first two analogue inputs but are blank for the 3-8. I don't see anything in the documentation that might explain why these are blank. Everything is functional and the AIR function is working so its not a big issue. Just curious if you could point me toward a fix if one exists. Thanks again for your work on this. It is very much appreciated.

Hi Don,

Thank you :).

Regarding the Line/Inst buttons missing for Inputs 3-8, it's because those inputs have no such functionality, so there's nothing to fix.

The front two inputs are Combo XLR jacks supporting Mic/Line/Inst inputs, and the rear six inputs are Combo XLR jacks supporting Mic/Line inputs. It's in the Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre User Guide https://fael-downloads-prod.focusrite.com/customer/prod/s3fs-public/downloads/Clarett%2B%208Pre%20User%20Guide%20V2.pdf pages 8, 10, and 23.

If you get a chance, please test the dev branch of alsa-scarlett-gui:

Let me know if you have any other questions; I'm happy to help!

Thanks,
Geoffrey.

Wasn't expecting a response tonight but it was nice to hear the feedback. I just picked up the 8Pre and perused the manual just to get the firmware update and basic config done. Thanks for pointing out the user manual areas to review. I would be happy to test the dev branch of your software as well. Your work is impressive. Do you have a donation portal specifically for your efforts? I'd like to contribute. My apologies if that is documented elsewhere. I play whackamole a lot and sometimes its just quicker to ask.

Hi Don,

Thank you! To test the dev branch, please follow the instructions at https://github.com/geoffreybennett/alsa-scarlett-gui/blob/master/INSTALL.md but before running the make -j4 command, switch to the dev branch with git checkout dev.

Donations are greatly appreciated; please see https://github.com/geoffreybennett/alsa-scarlett-gui#donations for my PayPal and Liberapay links.

Regards,
Geoffrey.

To clarify, if you previously built it from a github clone, then you can just do:

cd alsa-scarlett-gui/src
git checkout dev
make -j4

To switch back to the old version in case of any issues you can do git checkout master and make again.

I am getting an error on the #include openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory. Do you require a specific openssl package?

For Fedora you need openssl-devel. In Ubuntu it's called libssl-dev I believe.

Thanks. Dev is up and running now.
