Focusrite Saffire LE Manual de usuario

INTRO

This Guide is intended to provide you with sufficient information to get started with the Saffire LE,

outlining installation of the accompanying software, authorisation of the VST/AU plug-in suite and

a basic outline of the hardware and control software, SaffireControl LE.

In the box, you’ll find a software and resources DVD. This disc contains all of the software, along

with helpful instructions and information. There are also movie tutorials to guide you through

recording and monitoring with the Saffire LE, and a full User Guide in pdf format.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Saffire LE is a core audio device for Mac so will work without any installation being carried out.

However, you will need to install the SaffireControl LE software to access latency-free monitoring,

samplerate select and many other features of the hardware. Saffire LE software installation also

provides the free Saffire plug-in suite. Saffire LE software must be installed on a PC as the hardware

will not function until the ASIO and WDM drivershavebeen correctly placed.

• Saffire LE

On the Saffire LE DVD is a folder called Saffire LE Installers. To install SaffireControl LE, the Saffire

plug-in suite and ASIO/WDM drivers for PC, simply navigate to this folder and then double click the

relevant installer (Mac or PC).

•Ableton Live

The SaffireLE comes with a special Lite edition of Ableton Live 5, the completely unique musical

tool that blurs the distinction between stage and studio. To install the software, navigate to the

Ableton Installers folder and double click the relevant installer (Mac or PC).

• BFD

The Saffire LE also comes with a compact version of FXpansion’s BFD (Big Fat Drums) premium

acoustic drum module. To install the software, simplyselect the BFD Installers folder and then

double click the relevant software Installer (Mac or PC).

• Guru

The Saffire LE also comes with a compact version of FXpansion’s fantastic Guru drum programming

workstation. To install the software, simply select the Guru Installers folder and then double click

the relevant software Installer (Mac or PC).

SAFFIRE VST/AU PLUG-IN SUITE AUTHORISATION

Before you can use your Saffire plug-in suite, the suite must be authorised.

Note: Non-authorisation of the plug-in suite will not prohibit operation of SaffireControl LE

or Ableton Lite.

If your music computer is not connected to the internet, you must perform a manual authorisation.

This process will ask you either to save or load a registration file. You must first save, then transfer

this file onto an internet-connected computer, either by burning the file onto a CDR or by using a

USB/Firewire storage device. Next, access the authorisation page, located on the Saffire LE product

page of the Focusrite website. The web page will then save an authorised registration file, which

should then be transferred back to your music computer and loaded within the authorisation to

complete the process. While you’re online, we recommend you register your product.

RECORDING BASICS

Saffire LE has 6 Inputs, 4 Analogue (Inputs 1-4) and 2 Digital (Inputs 5/6). Inputs 1 and 2 (analogue)

are on the front panel of the hardware and can be used to record either microphone (using the XLR

Inputs below), Line-level or Instrument-level sources (using the Jack Inputs above). Make sure that

the phantom power switch is engaged if using a condenser mic, and that nothing is plugged into the

LINE IN above as this will override the XLR Input. Gain controls for Inputs 1 and 2 are at the top of

the front panel. Use the switches to select between LINE and INSTrument (if required) and the dials

to set the Gain level.

Inputs 3-6 are on the rear panel: 1/4” Jack Inputs (Inputs 3 and 4) for Line- or Intrument-level

sources and an RCA/Phono Input (Inputs 5 and 6) for a S/PDIF signal. There are also 6 balanced

analogue outputs for connecting directly to speakers or an amp. Outputs 1 and 2 are the Main

Monitors Outputs and Outputs 3 and 4 are the same signal as that sent to the Headphones Output

on the front panel. Latency-free mixing/monitoring of all 6 Inputs and 4 stereo tracks from the

sequencer (playback tracks) is available within the accompanying software SaffireControl LE.

SAFFIRECONTROL LE BASICS

The upper half of the SaffireControl LE GUI is for setting the levels of Inputs and Playback tracks

(audio routed to Saffire LE Outputs 1-8 within the sequencer) on Outputs 1 and 2 of Saffire LE – the

Monitors Outputs. The lower half is for setting the levels of Inputs and Playback tracks on Outputs 3

and 4 – the Headphones Outputs. The central section of the GUI features level controls for the

Analogue Outputs (1-6), with Gain dials, mutes and sliders for crossfading between Inputs and

Playback tracks on Outputs 1-4. In the bottom right corner aresoftware settings buttons

like Float and Shrink, as well as sample rate options.

If you are failing to hear Inputs on Monitors or Headphones,make sure the relevant slider in the

centre of the GUI is sufficiently over to the left (towards INPUT MIX) and that the relevant faders on the

left of the GUI are sufficiently high. If wanting to send audio directly from the sequencer to the Saffire

LE Outputs, e.g. anything routed to Saffire LE Outputs 3 and 4 in Ableton goes straight to Outputs 3

and 4 of the hardware (when surround mixing for example), activate the S/CARD switch in the bottom

right of the GUI. However, if wanting to mix different levels of various tracks from the sequencer with

Input tracks on Monitors or Headphones (when tracking/recording for example), activate the TRACK

switch in the bottom right of the GUI.
