The interface has come with no instructions apart from a leaflet telling me i have to download the software..Thats it..I really am starting from scratch here!! i have downloaded the software..Maybe i should link the fire wire up then see what happens?? It seems i have been a little foolish and bought equipment with out prior knowledge as to how to use it!!! Thankyou.

thedontcarebear Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Just plug it in, and then load up the software you will be using to record (Garage Band) and it will probably all be there ready to go, installing audio interfaces on mac's is easy 99% of the time. If you want to learn how to use garage band, then follow this link......

Under the sound option you should see the saffire listed under input and output tabs, make sure you select it for both. Once thats done, fire up garage band and away you go.
