saffire 6 is pretty outdated now, their scarlett box is better. there is no performance difference between the 2i2 and the bigger boxes, just more ins and outs. still not great at low latencies though.

best bet under 200 squivs is definatly the ni komplete audio 6, which should be back in stock everywhere next week. pm me if you want a deal on one ;)

I've got the Pro version and it's immense in comparison to my last SC which was the M-Audio FastTrack Pro ... I am totally out of my depth with the Focusrite, I've basically managed to get it set up for Traktor and Ableton and I dont fuck with it. Anytime I do I lose audio monitoring in Traktor (normally just before a gig)!

Its more a failing on me than the card though, the quality is really clear and I'd defo recommend them.

ok, so to explain what iwas saying earlier in light of the people sticking up for the saffire 6, you need to understand two things, firstly, it's a usb 1 interface. Secondly, here are its performance figures.
buffer column is buffer size, rxc is how many compressors it can run without breaking up, cv and ncv figures show how much polyphony it will produce without breaking up. the rtl column is round trip latency. The LLP rating is derised by comparing how well it does compared to the highest performing interface (rme aes32 and adi-8qs).
Image

compared to the rme babyface, it has similar performance at 256 samples than the babyface has at 128 samples buffer...... but the babyface does it at 8.4ms latency, whilst the saffire 6 has takes 30ms! thats over three times the latency for the same performance.

Image

this is the komplete audio 6 results
It performs similarly at 128 samples, but at 13ms latency, at under half the price of the Babyface.

Keg has one of the firewire units, which has the same arcitecture and performance as the saffire 56.

I also thought that the sound quality of the saffire 6 was lower than the other interfaces, focusrite's scarlett is a marked improvement. a bit like a 256k mp3 compared to 320k
