![]() I do have one question for those of you with Focusrite devices: I'm finally giving up on my Tascam US-800, going to sell it to a guy with a Mac Intel lappy for which it will be a killer deal. To TMON and Bobby, I've sent you both PM to see if you might, in a pinch, be able to help me out with the device. Watching some tutorials helped me a bit, but I did have to contact Focusrite support (the chat line helped me resolve my clock issues) to get past a stumbling block.īecause of a potential great local Craigslist deal - I'm seriously considering a Scarlett 8i6 - mix control software notwithstanding. You might have to select "Loop Back" depending upon what you are doing. You have to choose what inputs to the Pro24 you want to monitor, and where you want to send them.Īlso,note that I think MixControl defaults to stereo pairs (two channels with one panned hard left and the other panned hard right). It's all about signal routing through MixControl. I am far from mastering it, but once you start to, you find that it is pretty powerful as you can set up a variety of monitor mixes on various tabs to quickly change what to monitor at the headphones or monitor outputs. I had three days to learn it, and up until the night before my live session (10 channels of live audio), I was still figuring it out, so I know it's tricky. The key thing to learn about using these preamps is the MixControl software. I wish you the best - here's hoping that you have more success than I did. I have on one occasion tracked down a particularly savvy Sweetwater reviewer that provided their full name and city of residence and chatted about the guitar I recently purchased from Sweetwater before I made my purchase. In the reviews are several folks who have given praise and given their full names. Where did you buy the unit? Sweetwater have particularly helpful tech support. I realize that this doesn't help much, but perhaps it offers a bit of kindred soul consolation. Sound-on-Sound's brief review points to a gripe with the control software, which is reviewed in detail on the Liquid Saffire 56 review in Sound-on-Sound as counterintuitive (agreed). The device has great reviews at Sweetwater, however none of the reviewers seem to be doing what you are attempting and what I attempted. There must be something so obvious about the device that it doesn't require addressing in the manual that I missed. I'm the kind of person that downloads manuals BEFORE I buy or use equipment. If it is any consolation to you, I actually make walking around money as a hired gun audio guy and I've seen my way around plenty of mixing applications for all kinds of live sound and with home recording audio interfaces. After the 3rd night of the same frustration, I was done. Wasted another bunch of time trying to get it to work all the while the muse is off on a smoke-break. Never got that to work reliably meaning - that monitor section is quite complicated and I thought I had saved a working setup, only to come back the next night and no-can-do. Very simply, record one or two channels at a time, while monitoring said signal through phones. ![]() I wasted probably 3 evenings of 2-3 hours each trying to make that Saffire Pro 24 (we have the 'DSP' version) work for my very simple setup at home and I failed. In my opinion, the mixer application that comes with the Saffire Pro is one of the most difficult to use in the industry.īecause of my employment, I had access to one of these free of charge for as long as I wanted to use it, when my firewire laptop was still breathing. I know my way around lots of different audio/midi interfaces. ![]() If anyone is even vaguely familiar with this, I would appreciate your help. Lastly, I have read the Focusrite manual over and over, but just don't get this. I can tell from the mixer lights that audio is being picked up, but I can't hear it, doggoneit, and it's making me nuts!! The BIAB audio driver is set to Focusrite. I am running a cable from the mic into its power box and then another cable out of the power box into the audio interface (left channel). I am using a Sterling ST69 condenser mic that is self-powered. What I can't hear is my voice through the headphones as I record. As a test, I laid down a vocal track that I hear during playback through the headphones. I can hear the track (RealTrack) through the headphones. While I think I'm going to like it, there is some weird with headphone connection. I recently switched my Presonus Audio Interface with with Focusrite Saffire Pro 24.
