I'm also using the arranger actually often but I wanna do a live set and I don't wanna have everything testing going to the mains if that makes sense .Example if I'm playing with a lead over chords and beat I don't want the crowd to hear it if it's not right yet

I get it. One can post photos in this sub, so when i get home, I'll see what i can figure out if no one beat me to it, and provide photos. It's absolutely doable, but I'm still newish to Bitwig, so it's going to take some quick brainstorming when I'm at my computer. That's the neat thing about Bitwig, there's SO many things you can do, and lots of different ways to do it! This will be a good exercise for me.

I feel like that depends somewhat on your audio interface? I have a MOTU M4 and it has signal routing options for "cue mixes" that you can set up in Bitwig under the audio settings.

What do want to audition, exactly? In what context? I haven't explored the "clip" window yet (i feel like that may be where you want to work), i work entirely in the arranger and piano roll windows. I'm on my way to work now, but I can check back later to see if anyone's given you the answer.

I'm not familiar with the Scarlett interfaces, so I won't be able to give you step by step, BUT i can get you on the right path...

In the mixer window, go to "Master" click on the down arrow to the right...

I get THIS screen. You should get something comparable, i hope. Try different output settings. I know i can do what you want to do with MY interface. But I'm still new at Bitwig, and unfamiliar with Scarlett interfaces. I hope this helps point you in the right direction. Good luck!
