Hi guys,
After a lot of reading and less desirable outcome of helix atm I’ve decided to give holmimpulse a try with the focusrite as explained in the catbug guide. Most of the gear should arrive somewhere next week. The only thing I don’t completely understand is the loopback cable and how to create one.

If I understand correctly, the mono y cable goes out of output left and one of the ends goes back into input 2 (loopback) will there be no issues going into a xlr input with a 6.35mm trs? The other end will go into the female 6.35mm to rca adapter and should be connected to the mono rca cable. Seeing that both ends are male should I use another adaptor like one of these:

Another question is: does it have to be a mono 6.35mm y cable. I’m asking this as a seem to only find stereo 6.35mm y cables.
