I am interested in your suggestions, naturally.
Just the Saffire game is over for me. I returned the first unit
because of broken phantom power. The second unit worked a couple of
hours until phantom power went down again. The dealer told me
something about early series, repaired units and so on and the price
was very low but I decided to stop that experiment, frighten the bank
and go for a Fireface.
I started with an Aggregate Device Saffire+Firewire 410 as the
Saffire broke. That would make the system more flexible and give me 8
ins and 20 outs although I would keep the bigger latency of the 410.
We can go to the LUG with that if you want, I just cannot test
anything because the Saffire will leave the studio today. Would be
more of a theoretically discussion.
