That's great to hear, just to get this straight have you recorded all 16 tracks at once? And have you tryed recording 48 KHz 24 bit? -original message- Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Focusrite safire pro 40 expansion question From: "Tim Burgess" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 03/05/2011 13:36 Hi, I do this very thing with a Focusrite Octo Pre LE connected to the ADAT in of my Saffire Pro 40. Works fine on a single firewire card at 44.1kHz at 24 bits. Latency is going to be down to your host machine, but I've experienced no issues. Best wishes.

Will the pro 40 allow me to record the 16 tracks at the same time? This might sound like a stupid question but some units with the same configuration as the pro 40 allows you to connect 8 extra pre amps via ADAT, but it doesn't allow you to record the 16 channels at the same time. One more thing will the single firewire port handle the 16 channels plus the outputs and what about latency? PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
