Someone who can tell me exactly how to setup two Saffire Pro 40s to connect to my Apollo Twin QUAD ?

[pete hopkins]

I'll clarify this by saying I only want to talk to someone who has actually done this
I'm asking that person to share 3 things with me
1.the setting/routing in console
2.the settings in saffire mix control
3. the exact hardware wiring that made it happen.

i have watched every single youtube video i can find... nothing has worked. So don't send me any youtube videos about connecting multiple devices... this particular configuration has not worked no matter what instructions i have followed.

So i'm hoping that someone has actually successfully done precisely this and can share with me how they did it.


Thx!

It's been a long time, so memory is fuzzy.

1. In Console, you'll need to set digital to ADAT and set clock to ADAT as well
2. Set each ADAT out with its own mix that's ONLY the corresponding analog channels (on mix, select ADAT 1/2, then turn down all the faders except for Analog 1/2, etc.)
3. ADAT out from Saffire to ADAT in on Apollo

2.the settings in saffire mix control

Thx!

Forgot one more thing - Saffire needs to be set as Master/Internal clock. Can't recall where that's done.

Thanks Matt, i'll give this a try. And how did you wire the two Saffire together? firewire optical? both? please be specific. Thanks.

Ah, sorry. You can only use one. Apollos only have up to 8 channel ADAT support.

That's what I thought! That's as far as i've been able to get!

Thanks for reaffirming this Matt.
