Focusrite Saffire pro 24
Forgive me if this has been asked before but I have a 2012 MBPR and am thinking about picking up a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 interface as soon as I get rid of my Pro Tools 8 LE rig. Would I just need to download the latest drivers from focusrite or would I need the ones that come in the box?

Re: Focusrite Saffire pro 24
Download the latest drivers from the Focusrite website so you know you are using the latest and greatest.

Cool. And as far as I know how is it with OS X Mavericks, the focusrite website says it is compatible..Also as I just got this computer, a refurb from the apple store so I've yet to update it from the 10.8.3 it came with. I also realize we will soon be in Yosemite.

I just picked up a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20, they don't even include a CD :) Generally downloading the latest drivers from the manufacturer website is the best option.

Re: Focusrite Saffire pro 24
Nice! I really thought about the scarlett boxes but I think i'm just gonna go ahead and get the saffire since I'm on a mac. Once I talked myself down I realized the Pro 24 really has all the inputs I could ever need for my home studio with 2 line ins and 8 ADAT inputs as well (if need be would pick up a behringer ada8000 or something). When I finally get this box i'm wanting to pick up some decent, affordable mic pre's perhaps a Golden Age Pre-73 or a Warm Audio pre.

Re: Focusrite Saffire pro 24
Yeah, I have a ProFire 2626 that I've been quite happy with (except driver development), but my new laptop doesn't have firewire or a ExpressCard slot, so I had to get a USB interface. At least I can still run the ProFire as an ADAT expansion though, so there's that :)

You haven't said what version of PT you have besides an older PT8LE. Mountian Lion 10.8.4/5 are a really solid stable place to be at right now. If you setup is more for fun, by all means upgrade to Mav's and then Yose....but if you want reliability and a solid PT performance....my opionion is to stay right where you are with 10.8 (the latest rev, which is 10.8.5)

Re: Focusrite Saffire pro 24
I currently don't have a version of Pro Tools compatible with the laptop which is why I was asking about Mavericks stability. From my research it over the past few days it appears mixed. I am looking into DAW's and trying to determine which is best for my needs. I am really familiar with Pro Tools (been using for two years) but am not ruling out at least giving Logic Pro X or other DAWs a try. (From my research it appears Logic Pro X is either stable enough or suffers from really bad bug issues especially with automation). Either way hopefully my mbox 2 mini/PT 8 LE will sell soon on ebay so I can purchase a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24.
