#Saffire mixcontrol ony works in daw drivers#

For those interested, the 'quick and dirty' way to use this is to: What didn't make sense until I actually did this is 'DAW 1/2' is actually the Saffire 'main outs' as far as that 'Loop 1' input is concerned. Since I run Windows sounds on my RealTek, I rarely shift the computer 'as a whole' to the Saffire. I am glad this happened to me, since I read the manual a couple times which doesn't give focus to this important detail (although it mentioned the loopback routing, I didn't catch the 'Loop 1' input). It is quite possible I disabled this, but I thought I had only disabled SPDIF/ADAT channels. apparently this input driver is to streamline routing, and a quick test of this works like a charm.

I am sure other interfaces have similar features and know that it could be done previously with the Saffire 24, but a feedback loop was a serious issue (many warnings in the Saffire manual on this too). This came to mind from this thread, but I wanted to throw this out for folks. No physical loopback cabling required (yay Focusrite. with MixControl 3.4, whatever signal is assigned to LoopBack (mix of your choice) is sent to this input driver, so is very simple to create an audio track, select 'Loop 1' as the input and record 'what you hear' like in the days of old. As I was setting up things again, there is now an 'ASIO Saffire Pro 24 Loop 1' input driver which I swear did not exist before (anyone know if this is new to MixControl 3.4, or did I just miss it before?).

I was just playing with Re-Wire and accidentally installed another set of ASIO drivers which caused me to delete that software. Track Loopback - Focusrite Saffire MixControl
