All user reviews of 4/5 for the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB

2 mic / instruments that allow me to record a voice with a guitar DI or two guitars simultaneously. The preamps are good, but not transcendent. The integrated 48V power is very valuable for use with condenser microphones. I also use some of the MIDI input.

I am not using RCA outputs, just the two jacks to connect my pair of KRK RP5.

UTILIZATION

I use Logic to record one or two tracks simultaneously. After nearly a year of use, it has never crashed.

GETTING STARTED

I did not even need to open the manual installation is so simple, you plug in USB and go. The plugins provided (Compressor, Gate, EQ and Reverb) are of good quality and I sometimes use them (although it is clear that this is not what I use most)

OVERALL OPINION

1 year of intensive use.
I am extremely informed me before buying, and features and the opinions I've read lead me to buy it.

I like the Mixer button, which for the determination of volume between what goes into the sound card, and what comes out. (Handy for the singers agree to the outlet)

I intend to soon buy a Liquid Saffire 56 of the same brand, so as to save my battery, and this way my entire group simultaneously or element by element without having to connect / disconnect every 5 minutes.

I recommenderai beginners or producers of electronic music for example, who just need to connect a microphone and an analog synth for example.

The Focusrite Saffire 6 USB is an audio interface that connects to your computer via USB. This interface is Pro Tools ready right out of the box, the set up process with Pro Tools is very simple and easy to do. It always works great with Ableton Live and Cubase. This interface is powered by your USB connection and has very good microphone preamps (2 of them) on this 2 in and 4 out interface.

UTILIZATION

Setting up this interface will all depend on which DAW you want to use it with. It does have MIDI in and MIDI out so you can use it with almost any DAW and it will connect to all of your gear. If you use this in some DAW programs you could run into some small set up issues in programs like FL Studio. I am not sure why but in my personal experience I have hit a few bumps when trying to use it with FL Studio 9.

GETTING STARTED

You can not rack this interface, but it is small and compact so it does not take up much desktop space. It is lightweight and can be very portable if you need an interface that is ready to go with you and your laptop.

OVERALL OPINION

This unit is so much like some of the other interfaces in this price range like the MBox or iTrack Solo interfaces. There really is nothing different between any of them except for the Saffire 6 has a little better preamp to it that will give you a better sound when recording especially if you are using a low end microphone. But overall there really is nothing about this interface that sticks out, it is priced averagely and has the same specs as so many other models. It will be personal preference if you want to purchase this. I will say that it is built well though and seems to be able to hold up over time.

I wanted to try it because there are " focusrite preamps

UTILIZATION

I tried it with the Microphones: SE Electronics  se 2200A m-audio nova and neumann tlm 102

GETTING STARTED

Very easy to use and install!

OVERALL OPINION

Asio drivers are very stable, it does work very well for me 

I changed my laptop this summer and having no FireWire connection, I had to sell my card and buy this one.

UTILIZATION

Used with ableton live, drivers are stable.No incompatibilities encountered to date, even the drivers for my jomox works wonderfully.
The instalation is very simple, connect it, it works.

GETTING STARTED

Q / p more than good!
I was then using an edirol fa66, the Focusrite replace it without any problem.
What I love the most, the transparency of the sound coming out of this little box.
Less, would have liked to have a Switch for on / off.
