Only difficulty is Driver... Windows 10 can be problematic.
The only problem I have been struggling with Saffire drivers is that it does not share between applications all that well. I have Windows 10. If I open a Browser, I can hear audio from the device fine. If I then open a DAW, whatever it is (Cubase or LIve oo Reason) Suddenly the Audio from the browser disappears... Sound is only produced from the DAW. You have to disable then re-enable Audio device to get it back. audio playing from the browser.. This did not use to be an issue, but I believe Windows 10's audio Interface is the source of the problem. You can set the Windows settings for the device to Not allow a single application to take exclusive control of the driver, but unfortunately this does not solve the problem. It doesn't make it non-usable.. its just an annoying issue.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Saffire Pro 40
Device will not connect to my any of my five computer's PC's and Mac. It is recognized by the operating systems but focusrite'$ software will not unlock the device for use. in a desperate attempt to get it working I have tried different operating systems and drivers. My old Scarlett usb M-Audio and Steinberg firewire interfaces connect and work perfectly with little effort. Focusrite tech support has tried to help. Little progress if any. Wasted my money and a hopeless dream.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A Great Thunderbolt DAW Interface at Half the Price
Eight clean preamps, excellent A/D conversion, Firewire interface,ten ADAT channels, 2 S/PDIF channels and sixteen channel MIDI. The Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 is an awesome interface! It is Pro Tools 12 compatible and can be used with a Thunderbolt adapter.

Overall seems to do the job!
Unit seems solid enough overall. The pre-amps are clean and quiet just like the Motu 8Pre. Be careful of the 2 front inputs when plugging in a 1/4 cable jack. I can see input jack becoming a problem if there is any tension or accidental pulling of the cable when in use. Seems the mounting of the 2 front inputs are not secure and when I plug in a instrument cable there is too much play in the jack.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

After 20 years of recording I've found the Holy Grail!
Over the last few decades I've gone through a number of recording interfaces, and have always been left wishing each was just a little better. The Saffire Pro 40 is AMAZING. The sound is crisp, and it works with any DAW I can throw at it. There is a bit of a learning curve, but after a few weeks of playing with this interface I found the most perfect recording experience of my life. 8 tracks simultaneously, and superior quality. Coupled with the Octopre preamp I can record a whole band in one take. You won't find a better recording interface for less than twice the price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I like this interface
Although I haven't yet used it for extensive multi track recording it was easy to set up and use. I bought it socially for use with my old Power Mac g5 and it has so far been a fine match. So far it sounds good.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Ultimate versatility
This Saffire Pro40 works beautifully with a Digi 003 rack and ProTools8 on a WIndows 7 desktop - I had to remember to FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS when setting up, but by doing that, a successful connection brought all the joy that the descriptions and videos promised. Oh, and it can stand alone on my laptop with it's own mixware for a mobile session. Wow, It's like Christmas! Bravo, Focusrite! PS.. and my seller rocked! I'll definitely buy from Alto Music again...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Just Right
This unit provides the perfect number of I/O options for my home studio. My previous Focusrite unit would "boot up" and be ready to go when I turned on my computer. I must turn this one off and then back on when the computer boots up.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
