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 amount of latency or something was wrong. If I even played back a loop it would play a second of it and start cutting out.
Is this a a bad idea all together and should I just stick with the saffire and get an Adat device to add more inputs to it?? I could essentially do the drums with 8 mic's if I had to but it would be missing the extra condenser's I'd like to add to it.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of going adat? And what is a good adat device to go with the saffire pro 40 without giving me any issues?
Money isn't a huge problem. I mean I can't spend a ton of money but I would like something nice. I have noticed most people have the Behringer one. But Behringer is known for making some crappy stuff in my experience. But does Behringer make a nice adat unit? As I have seen some pro's are even using this Behringer device online.
I do have two, two channel mic pre amps that I use. Someone had said online that it's possible to add more inputs by using mic pre amps like I have. But how would that be possible? Because I still have to use the input to plug the mic input into the saffire pro 40?
And while we are here, a good kick drum mic recommendation would be awesome! That is the only mic I am missing for the drums. So far I have a combination of different dynamic and condenser mic's I have built up over the years. I bought a new sm57 for the snare drums.
The bass drum is one of the most important things to me as I do a lot of double bass type stuff. I have read that one can put an sm57 in front of the beaters and then put the kick drum mic in front of the kick drum to get a better sound also?
Sorry for all the questions but I just went into building a studio all at once and it seems as I buy one thing and get one thing done the next thing comes up and I have no idea what my options are.
If any mac users can explain to me how to use the M-audio and saffire pro 40 together that would actually be preferable as to buying a whole new device. But if it's going to cause latency then I don't want it.
Also, I have a high end imac. I have never not once had a latency issue, with the saffire pro 40 since I've gotten it or the fast track pro or any other audio interfaces I've used. I do have two more interfaces so that would add even more inputs but I'm too afraid to add them because I can't even get two working together!
