Pro Tools 8 with 2 audio interfaces connected
Hi there,
I'm using Pro Tools 8 M-powered with a M-audio FireWire Solo. I got here with me a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, and I'm was wondering if I can connect this interface to Pro Tools through the second Firewire Port in the M-Audio Firewire Solo, leaving the Solo unit the one that connects directly to the PC so Pro Tools would recognize it. Do you think this is possible to work? Will Pro Tools recognize both interfaces? Thanks for your time, RodWall |

Re: Pro Tools 8 with 2 audio interfaces connected
Pro Tools will not recognize the second interface. MP8 will only recognize M-Audio Interfaces - and only one of them.
Pro Tools 9 on the Mac will support something called Core Audio Aggregate Devices, but each interface would need it's own Firewire port. But PT9 on Windows (using ASIO) does not have a similar capability. What you *can* do with your Focusrite Pro40 is the following: a) Upgrade to Pro Tools 9: http://imsproav.com/main/AVID99206500300.html b) Sell the Firewire Solo and use the money towards a Focusrite OctoPre: http://imsproav.com/main/FOCUSROCTOPREMKII.html You can connect the ADAT output of the Octopre to the ADAT input of the Pro40. You'll then have 16 high-quality simultaneous inputs into Pro Tools with Focusrite mic pre's across the board.
