Hi Guys

I have a quick question regarding this interface, it seems like it has everything I need. I am a solo performer (GTR + backing tracks), I usually run a stereo backing track but I am looking to add a click track to my setup to avoid being reliant on obnoxious hi-hat count ins.

So the Scarlett 18i6 claims to have a headphone jack that operates as an independent stereo output, which leads me to my question:

Can I send the stereo backing track to FOH using the main outputs, then send the same track + the click track audio to the headphone output, and use that as my monitor mix?

If I can, then great! It all sounds simple in theory, but I wanted to double check with people in-the-know before I commit to purchase.

Cheers.
 
So many forums tell me that there may be some driver issues with the scarlett. However the NI Komplete audio 6 looks like it will offer similar functions as the scarlett (including the headphone click method I am after). does anyone have any experience with the NI interface as well?
