Re: [LAU] Focusrite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface

I also really did want to buy the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB, but unfortunately it does not seem to work. See these discussions: http://goo.gl/lXzWe http://goo.gl/fu0zr http://goo.gl/pHxfL As far as my research goes, similar devices are: – Presonus Audiobox – M-Audio Fast Track Pro – M-Audio Mobile Pre MK II (it's in my list, but I can't remember if it works as flawlessly as the others) – Lexicon Alpha/Lambda/Omega Studio They are all selling for 100-200€ in Germany (apart from the Lexicon Alpha, which is smaller and cheaper). There is also the Roland (or Cakewalk or Edirol) UA-25(EX), which seems to be a favourite for many people, but it is discontinued and disappeared out of the big German stores only some days ago. I am not decided yet which device to buy. Is there one device, that has clearly better (or worse) quality than the others? Especially in regard to the mic preamps? I heard only good of the Focusrite preamps, so I'm quite sad that it does not work. (Looking at the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 as well, but I need a small USB device first for use with my laptop.) 2011/9/14 Hartmut Noack <zettberlin(a)linuxuse.de>de>: -- Peter Crighton | (mainly) Progressive Rock musician based in Mainz/Wiesbaden, Germany http://www.petercrighton.de
