No, you're not wrong. The Gen1 and gen2 2I2's direct monitor is, in fact, mono only.

You don't get a mono/stereo switch until the 2I4.

Interestingly, the Behringer UMC-202 HD has the opposite problem. It's stereo only. No mono/stereo switch on either of them for direct monitoring.

I have no experience with the gen3 Scarlet stuff.

Yup, but we're talking about direct input monitoring, not the output from the software. (If you can pan things in Logic then it sounds like you're using Logic's software monitoring to play through, which is different than direct monitoring. The direct monitor is for avoiding the latency incurred by the software during multi-track overdubs. It's a direct analog signal path from in-out bypassing the computer, so usually there's nothing to configure in software.)

I don't have a gen2 now but I've used one at work and direct monitoring was mono for me. But hopefully I'm wrong because it would make things a lot simper for u if it could be switched to stereo!

Thanks Zach,

I hooked it up to a Mac running Logic Pro. Definitely monitoring in stereo. I could pan things !

Manual says it's stereo too.

Somewhere there must be a setting. ALSA ?

Jem: I'm pretty sure the gen2 version of the 2i2 does direct monitoring in mono only. (This is a 'feature" for home studio multi-track since you want to hear your guitar in both ears while laying down those hot riffs.) I think the gen3 has a stereo/mono switch for the direct feed, but I seem to remember somebody on this list recommending against the gen3 for other reasons?

Perhaps you can configure something on the software side to connect the inputs to the outputs? Sorry, I have no expertise there.
