Setting up my system for the first time, so appreciate all help and advice. I have a very basic question.
Using Komplete audio 6 as my audio interface. I have a pair of Samson Media-one 3A speakers.
I'm getting slightly confused by the terminology used in the setup and use of the Komplete 6 (when it talks about monitor i/o selection etc)
Are the outputs used :
i) solely for listening to the inputs to the Komplete 6 (processed or unprocessed), or
ii) can I use the Komplete 6 as my only sound I/O device in my system ie have my main speakers coming out of the Komplete 6 for all sound playback from my DAW etc
So, do I need a sound card in my PC to output to my main speakers or can the Komplete 6 do this job as well as being used as an input device ?

Yes. Basically, like your internal computer soundcard, the KA6 is an audio interface with a certain number of inputs and outputs.can I use the Komplete 6 as my only sound I/O device in my system ie have my main speakers coming out of the Komplete 6 for all sound playback from my DAW etc
Just select the KA6 as main audio interface in the audio preferences of your operating system and/or your software (DAW, etc ..) and you're good to go.
I guess what's confusing you is the direct monitoring section on the front of the KA6, which allows you to directly monitor or listen to the audio from the front-inputs 1+2 on the KA6 itself (without going through additional software like a DAW).I'm getting slightly confused by the terminology used in the setup and use of the Komplete 6 (when it talks about monitor i/o selection etc)
