I have logic pro 9 which I downloaded from the app store with all the studio combinations. My laptop has main stage, my desktop version does not. My laptop version starts up different and some parts even look differently than the desktop version. And yes, I'm not an idiot, they are the exact...

I did not go the mixer route. I started to go with a good mixer with good pre amps. But It's sooooo much easier to control it on the daw just using an interface with as many mic pre's as you need and the quality you need. And then you can add high quality external pre amps to the interface for...

I recently switched to M-audio to Focusrite and I'm really impressed with the products. They come with inbetween mixers that go with zero latency inbetween you and your recording program. They also have very good pre amps. I have the pro 40. You aren't looking for that many inputs but the same...

Well, I got it to working guys. Can't do the "Y" cable configuration on the saffire pro 40. To be able to have inserts on the saffire you have to go into the saffire mixer control panel to do it properly. I looked at the instructions on their website and figured it out. I was able to do it with...

I have heard people have a lot of luck with these things live but I am looking to get one for my studio. I have it on order ready to but haven't hit the buy button yet. Will I get good tones running this straight from a mic pre (which has a guitar input) out to the 1101 and then into the...

Yes, I have set the buffer size right and it seems to totally confuse the computer. And we are talking a high end imac computer running logic pro 9. Since then I have read other forums on Google with people discussing this same situation and saying Apple has not fixed the bug yet. Certain...

I recently purchased the Saffire pro 40 which gives me 8 mic pre's. For drum's I wouldn't mind having 10. I have a fast track pro which has 2. That would make 10. I set up an aggregate audio device in my audio midi settings on my iMac but when I went to use it with Logic pro 9 I got a crazy...

You do this after recording. I am just now getting into outboard compressors. But even learning the proper way to use software compressors was probably my most difficult challenge in recording music. Really study how compressors work. It's very easy to ruin your track with a compressor. Of...

I do not leave my saffire pro 40 on. But when I was using a fast track pro I left it on all the time. But it has my surround sound computer speakers plugged into it. So, I leave it on all the time. Unless you're using the saffire as your main audio device and using your monitors as your speakers...

I use an iMac for recording but when I was using my macbook pro I had no issue. If you're looking for a PC it's a bit different. Back in my PC days I always head to deal with latency and finding ways around that. I use external hard drives to record with. I actually use a portable one. But I...

I wouldn't worry that much about the interface. Definitely don't save up for an Mbox. You can get a fast track pro at guitar center for 99 bucks right now. And the pre amps on the fast track pro are not bad at all, it comes with phantom power for your condenser mic. You want to spend the most...

Well, you need TRS cables to your monitors. If you're trying to go into separate sets of monitors it would depend on your interface. And then you would have to send that track to those outputs on your interface. The way most people do this, if you're sitting at the computer, when you're...

I just bought the saffire pro 40 and it came with 1 GB of samples. How would I go about adding this to logic pro 9? I'm not entirely sure how this works as I am new to this. Would I add these samples to the loop library? Another question, without posting a new topic, if I change the tempo of a...

I have now went and bought a Saffire pro 40 for more inputs. I hear that putting outboard gear on this thing can be tricky. I tried it last night with no luck for it to be like I wanted it to be. Although I didn't use the Y cable which I will be trying today because of the way this set up looks...

I agree about the really cheap pre amps. I had a presonus blue tube and I couldn't tell any difference. It didn't give any warmth. This is a 2 channel MPA ii reference series. It actually makes a huge difference. I was very surprised. They already changed the tubes out to better tubes. It isn't...

I was wondering if anyone here has any experience getting a good recording with amplitube using a tube pre amp? And if it sounded comparable to micing a real guitar amp. When recording with amplitube what is the best way to get the best tone? I use a tube pre amp and I figure that helps some...

I am new to all of this. I am using an ART MPA ii pre amp into my interface. I will be using the E906 and the sm57 at the same time to just mix down different tones. Sometimes I may use a condenser and the e906 instead. I am just now learning about phasing. If the mic's are far apart do I need...

Yes, I know it's a TRS to dual TS. I've already learned how to do this as far as inserting it in a channel strip and not recording through it. I practiced doing this and learned doing it another way. Which was using the inputs of the interface and a combination of different cables since I didn't...

Thanks! Okay, so with the fast track pro it has two inserts. This means I can have two outboard gears right? Compressor into insert one and I could do something else into insert two? The compressor is two channel compressor but I will only need to use one channel in my DAW right? Even if it's...

I have two tube pre amps. Both are two channel but I believe both are available in one channel. I have the presonus blue tube, it is not that great. It doesn't make much of a difference at all. I can't really tell much difference in it and the pre amps on my interface. I recently purchased the...
