Create an audio track with Saffire Loop1 as the input.Modify DAW 1/2 to a mix if preferred for more versatility. Loopback DAW 1/2 in the router settings (to record "What you Hear").Have Windows sounds run through the Saffire.For those interested, the "quick and dirty" way to use this is to: What didn't make sense until I actually did this is "DAW 1/2" is actually the Saffire "main outs" as far as that "Loop 1" input is concerned. Since I run Windows sounds on my RealTek, I rarely shift the computer "as a whole" to the Saffire. I am glad this happened to me, since I read the manual a couple times which doesn't give focus to this important detail (although it mentioned the loopback routing, I didn't catch the "Loop 1" input). It is quite possible I disabled this, but I thought I had only disabled SPDIF/ADAT channels. apparently this input driver is to streamline routing, and a quick test of this works like a charm. I am sure other interfaces have similar features and know that it could be done previously with the Saffire 24, but a feedback loop was a serious issue (many warnings in the Saffire manual on this too). This came to mind from this thread, but I wanted to throw this out for folks. No physical loopback cabling required (yay Focusrite. with MixControl 3.4, whatever signal is assigned to LoopBack (mix of your choice) is sent to this input driver, so is very simple to create an audio track, select "Loop 1" as the input and record "what you hear" like in the days of old. As I was setting up things again, there is now an "ASIO Saffire Pro 24 Loop 1" input driver which I swear did not exist before (anyone know if this is new to MixControl 3.4, or did I just miss it before?). I was just playing with Re-Wire and accidentally installed another set of ASIO drivers which caused me to delete that software. Front panel controls include a main monitor dial with dim and mute switches, all of which fully integrate with customizable software to cover every possible monitoring need, providing a set of controls for any set-up from basic stereo to full 7.1 surround.Track Loopback - Focusrite Saffire MixControl A dedicated stereo monitor mix TRS output features pads for improved sound quality when connected to active monitor speakers, while an ‘anti-thump’ circuit protects your monitor speakers from spikes when booting up or shutting down. Two independent headphone buses are provided, each with their own level controls available on the front panel. It features unparalleled output routing and monitoring, as well as intuitive one-click options, a clear and concise mixing layout and large on-screen metering for inputs, outputs and submixes. Saffire MixControl, the ultra-low-latency 18 x 16 DSP Mixer/Router software provided with Saffire PRO 40, sets a new standard at this price point for audio interface control. Front panel five-step LED metering for each analogue input offers accurate viewing of levels. Every mic pre features phantom power, with the first two channels also featuring -9dB pads for additional headroom. In addition, ADAT I/O, stereo S/PDIF I/O and two virtual “loopback” inputs for routing digital audio between software applications are provided. In addition to the comprehensive monitoring options described below, there are eight TRS line outputs. Inputs 1 and 2 appear on the front panel and support mic, line and instrument operation, while the remaining six are on the rear panel and offer mic and line input functionality. Two mic/line/instrument inputs are accessed via the front panel, which also provides two independent headphone monitor outputs.Īll eight main inputs feature combo XLR/TRS connectors and sense which is in use automatically. Designed with the sophisticated project studio owner or smaller commercial facility in mind, Saffire PRO 40 features a versatile 20 inputs and 20 outputs, including a complement of eight Focusrite mic preamps guaranteed to get the best out of any microphone, with minimal noise and distortion even at high gain.
