It would have been clearer to say: I connect my iPad to one of the ins of the Scarlett (1/8 in) and my mic to the other, using XLR.

Thanks for the excellent suggestion of a private message to one or both of the members who perform live online. I don't know how to do that, but I'll get on to learning it asap.

Since first posting my original question, I have purchased Reaper and have had some luck using that (I have only tested this in Zoom by making videos of test runs and playing them back). I import my BIAB track (wav) in to Reaper and use "Share Audio" in Zoom, and then sing/play along using my USB mic. This way, I'm not using the Scarlett at all.

I also joined the reddit Reaper forum and the Cockos/Reaper official forum, to see if I might learn something there.
