Can a Focusrite liquid Saffire 56 be used as a sound interface?
One issue — at least for those who have already invested in nice interfaces — is that you can only use the Liquid preamps with the Liquid Saffire 56 acting as your main audio interface. Despite the inclusion of plenty of digital I/O, there’s currently no way in which to use it to augment your existing setup.
Is the liquid Saffire good value for money?
Suffice to say that you get eight decent, whisper‑quiet, clean‑sounding Saffire preamps that offer plenty of gain — particularly good value for money. If you want to further increase the analogue I/O, the ADAT connectivity makes the Liquid Saffire ideal for use with expansion units such as Focusrite’s Octopre LE.
Can a liquid Saffire be used with an octopre Le?
If you want to further increase the analogue I/O, the ADAT connectivity makes the Liquid Saffire ideal for use with expansion units such as Focusrite’s Octopre LE. In short, it’s a well specified audio interface in its own right.
What kind of audio equipment does Focusrite use?
British manufacturers Focusrite have developed an enviable reputation for their recording hardware over the years, but more recently they’ve been busy reinventing the audio interface with their Saffire Pro range. The latest addition to this is the entry‑level Saffire Pro 24.
What does the VRM system on Focusrite do?
The second role is Focusrite’s new Virtual Reference Monitoring (VRM) system, which claims to help make headphone listening a more natural and familiar experience when mixing — although this processing is only available on the first headphone output, I’m afraid (although it’s also on line out 3‑4, which shares the same software mixer).
What does virtual reference monitoring do on Saffire PRO 24?
An enhanced version of the original Saffire Pro 24, with an extra physical headphone output and internal DSP facility. Virtual Reference Monitoring aims to create the impression of real loudspeakers in a real room when listening on headphones, thereby making headphone mixing an easier and more natural experience.
When did the Focusrite liquid mix 16 come out?
Focusrite were able to hive off the EQ and dynamics section to create a separate, much more affordable product (the Liquid Mix, reviewed in SOS July 2006, and later the Liquid Mix 16, which was more affordable still) — something that was simple to do because it was an entirely digital process.
