I just got the Focusrite Saffire Pro 24. (I am also a complete newbie, and this will be the first of a zillion questions.)
In the manual, it says that there are 24 input signals. No matter how I count them, I cannot get up to 24:
Inputs 1 and 2 are both 1/4 inch and XLR -- being generous, this counts as 4
Inputs 3 and 4 = 2 inputs
Digital input = Up to 8 ADAT ins, or 2 SPDIF ins. I'll count this as 10 inputs?
Loopback 1-2??? = 2 inputs?
1 SPDIF input
This adds up to 19. I really hope that MIDI doesn't count as one.
I feel like I'm missing something important.
