    Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 Professional 20 In/20 Out Firewire Audio Interface with Eight Pre-Amps

    • Beautiful pre-amps!
    • great).After plugging his bass into this audio interface, my bassist went on a quest to replicate the sound that this thing gave him (ended up with a great sounding TC Electronics head and amp).Sometimes the focusrite mix program will have issues and I'll have to power cycle the audio interface, but besides that I have no complaints.
    • Great amp and easy to use software
    • The pre amps sound great
    • This unit may have great pre-amps but sadly the fact that it is poorly built, I rarely get to hear them shine
    • It is worth noting, that the Pre-amps on the focusrite unit are excellent.
    • As for the design of the interface, having two pre-amps in the front is helpful when working on small projects
    • Very good pre-amps and great quality.
    • As expected really straight foward to use, very clear pre-amps, really useful instrument inputs on the front, nice mixer software for routing and monitoring plus the meters on the front side that also help to have a quick peak while setting up to record
    • The 2x2 phantom power works as excepted however I would have liked to see 4 separate phantom power channels rather than groupings for inputs 1-2 and 3-4
    • Even my cheap little old M-Audio Fast Track Pro had a couple of insert jacks.- Focusrite is very specific in their manual about not turning the Saffire on or off while the computer is powered on, or damage may occur
