So I am looking to buy a new multi channel audio interface. Looking at
firewire. Of the ones I might be interested in, it seems the supported ones
are discontinued and the available ones are not fully supported. Does anyone
have any useful input?
Looking mainly at focusrite but will look at others. I want high channel count
possibilities. 8+ preferably 24+ down the road.
all the best,

Hello Drew,
Happy user of a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. Works like a charm and
recently a lot of work has been done on getting the mixer part to fully
work also. Haven't tried that out yet but support is almost as complete
as it was for the good ol' Saffire Pro 10 IO.
Best,
Jeremy

This device is NOT supported in 2.0. It will be included in the 2.x
release that introduces DICE support. This will most likely be version
2.1.
For the Liquid Saffire 56 it reports:
Manufacturer:
Focusrite
Support Status:
Reported to work

Ubuntu 10.04. Not OOTB. I packaged my own FFADO packages but switched to
the Tango Studio FFADO packages when those came available.

I don't think there is any major distro that still ships with FFADO 2.0,
most of them use an svn checkout with DICE support. But my memory is
rusty here, I didn't really keep up with FFADO developments.
Best,
Jeremy

ridiculous value for money.
I did once use the Windows software to make some mixer adjustments, but
that was just because I wanted to set up something specific; it worked
fine before that. If the mixer tools have improved since then, then I
could probably do the same thing today without Windows.
Thanks

I don't remember if the PRO40 has dedicated world-clock connectors.
But you can easily sync two of them (or two of different kinds) via
spdif, adat or one of the firewire-internal clocks.

Afair the pro40 is 8 analog in and out and one pair of adat. So that
gives you 16 input plus two from the spdif. If you need more then 16
channels, you have to get two pro40 or a pro56 which features two pairs
of adat io.
Have fun,
Arnold

Echo audiofire12 is 100% compatible OOTB. I'm selling mine, if you're
interested.
