SAFFIRE MIXCONTROL CONFUSING AS HELL UPGRADE
Naturally everyone should have one but in this case, if not, pass on a DMM for now and buy a cheap C weighted sound level meter. Im looking to upgrade from my UX2 to a focusrite 6 USB.how improved would the.
As mentioned before the problem could be you are not using the same sample rate, or your output in protools is not set to the same channel as your output in mixcontrol. It will not work without it, like trying to drive a car without steering or transmission. *But I can rig it later if you think it would help?Īs for me testmeter? Fekkin' leads are bit short. As far as I can tell mixcontrol is the actual driver/controller for it. Then read Massive's Missive on speaker calibration and get on it!

Simon iirc?Īlso, so as to have a benchmark, record a minute or so of pink noise (Audacity does it) at -6dBFS, played back that should give plenty of noise!Īs for me testmeter? Fekkin' leads are bit short. of the Saff 40 manual, under Outputs, line 6 " Software controlled attenuator (-20dB) for sensitive monitors." I have not as yet FOUND the attenuator but if we ALL looks? Err? We have a tame Focusrite guy that looks in. Heh! Probably a typo, I do have an 8i6 but sorry I don't "run" it* and I have not got head around MixControl.However! I have spotted something! If you mean THIS Dave I am deeply hurt! I thought everyone here knew I was not a fan of the 2i2?! "Dave has been a huge help though, and I think he might know a little about the mixcontrol if it's the same on the 2i2 that he's running." All reference materials are CDs and youtube videos both are low. If I flipped the recessed switch on the back of the monitors from -10 to +4 is that going to make a difference in volume or will that just screw up my monitors?įor what it's worth, I read through the small room acoustics sticky last night so I've got a sound treatment plan that I should have done by next weekend just trying to assess the volume issue at this point. I'm in a smaller, untreated room (14' x 8' with some variations) so I assumed that it would at least seem louder due to the confinement but I'm probably way off on that. To get any substantial volume I have to almost peg the volume knob on the interface. This current setup, for a lack of better words, is an "inside voice" volume. If I would have had these same settings on my old setup (Tascam fw1804 and M-Audio BX8s) the cops would be here telling me to turn it down because they got a complaint from a neighbor 3 miles away. I've got saffire mix control on the verge of clipping, volume in windows set at max, my monitors (Active) both set at max volume and the volume on the interface at noon. The "issue" I'm having is that the volume seems lower than before.
SAFFIRE MIXCONTROL CONFUSING AS HELL PRO
I've got a saffire pro 40 outputting to JBL LSR305 monitors both work and I can play sounds from any source on my comp. Bear with me, I'm feeling like a novice all over again.
