moonbass Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi. Thinking of purchasing a proper interface for recording; does anyone have experience of the Focusrite saffire pro 40 or the liquid saffire 56? Is the 56 worth the extra money? And what about the RME Fireface 800: a lot more money, but will I as an amateur notice the difference? And is it getting a bit old? Other newer RME units seem to be a lot more pricey. I'm using iMac with Logic. Any thoughts muchly appreciated. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 RME are superb You will notice that it works better tHan it's competition. Better drivers and USB chips mean better performance. Cleaner preamps mean less noise too. My UCX has been perfect from day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbass Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks gents. Typically only last night in a moment of madness I pulled the trigger on the Liquid Saffire 56, so I'll see how that goes for now. Would definitely have gone for the RME if I was feeling more flush! I'm interested how the liquid pre's work in practice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
