This answered my question about needing to still use the software for the old interface. I upgraded from a Profire 2626 to a Clarett 8Pre USB for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one was getting away from Firewire. Now that I know this I'm going to go with the OctoPro 8 so I don't have to worry about that different software but thank you so very much for sorting this out for me!!! I run Protools 12 with the Clarett 8Pre USB with the OctoPre 8 extpansion. I have an ART MPA II, and two DBX 386 going line in. All tubes have been upgraded to get a little more warmth.

Nice video. However I just learned something yesterday that may help people viewing this video. I called focusrite and was asking about my pro 40 being connected to a new 18i20, after some talking with the guy named Ryan, he informed me that focusrite has a deal going on for people with older devices such as my pro 40. I send in the pro 40 and in turn they give me 50% discount off of a new one. For me the 18i20, at half price. Can’t beat that. Gotta wait a little bit for all the shipping back and forth but I think that a pretty good deal. This is my experience with focusrite as of 11/22/21.

Any ideas what the 9 & 10 are and if i can either disable them, or somehow move them to 17 & 18? It's just a bit confusing as i have 1-16 patched in through an xlr patch bay at the front so i never touch anything around the back and 9 & 10 keep confusing me! Thanks for the help!

@@bobdrums so can I link both using 1 port? What you mean about standalone mode? Can I setup the interface then disconnect it? Thanks

@@babunker4028 So you need to connect both interfaces to the computer to set them up, but this could be one at a time. Then you connect the interfaces together. After that you only need to connect 1 interface to your computer to record. Hope that helps!

So you saying if you update your mac to big sur your saffire will stop working? shouldn't do as you have just extended your saffire into your new interface that uses the single correct driver?....
@bobdrums3 жыл бұрын
Hi Aaron, Safire mix control does actually support Big Sur! This is great and hopefully means it will even be supported in future updates. It’s always good practice to check that your software is supported before updating though. Congrats on the new gear!

No, since the interfaces are connected over ADAT there's no need for an aggregate device!

@@bobdrums so i have both of my focusrite 3rd gen scarlett 18i20 connected via optical cable. and i have followed your instructions point by point, but for whatever reason non of my inputs are processing and im not able to get anything to go through, any tips on what the problem may be? and how i may be able to solve. im running it all through Studio One

also noticed my focusrite controller named my adat outputs as adat 1.1 1.2 1.3 and so on rather than adat 1, 2, 3 and so on like yours. i imagine it doesnt matter because i have two adat cables going like yours so i imagine its just tracking both cables. but just thought id mention that for it was the only adnormal part of my process compared to yours. besides only processing through the one focusrite controller for both interfaces.

The light next to sync is red i notice instead of green
@bobdrums3 жыл бұрын
Hey Sean, so that red light means they're not in sync. I would make sure they are set to the same sample rate and double check the ADAT connection is secure. Hope that helps!
