Published on 03/06/13 at 21:58The Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP is a 16 in and 8 out interface that can work with a Mac or a PC computer via Firewire connection. There are 2 microphone preamps and built in effects. This interface has front panel metering LED and two headphone busses on the front for two different monitor mixes. There are 6 TRS analogue outputs and 1 6pin Firewire socket for connection. It is very small and portable but it seems to be very delicate. I do not think that it would hold up long if dropped or if it fell of my desktop and hit a hard surface. The knobs just don’t seem like they could withstand the impact without breaking off.
UTILIZATION
The price of this interface is very good, there are other interfaces in this same price range but most of them do not have effects built in and do not have a Firewire connection unless you want to go with a USB connection. This interface comes with compression, and EQ plug ins, it will work with just about any DAW (and I mean ANY one!).
GETTING STARTED
My favorite part of this interface is that it can work with multiple applications at one time. A lot of interfaces in this price range struggle with this feature/function. I am able to listen to audio from another source on my computer or pull samples by recording form other programs on my computer and bring them right in to my DAW with this interface.
OVERALL OPINION
I can even record directly from online sites that play music and bring it directly into my DAW without having to shut anything down or close it and reopen. This is a huge feature for me being that I am a composer that does a lot of sampling and using other FX from different sound sources in my music. I can say that I really appreciate this function from Focusrite.
