Mine was working but I relocated my studio recently and today tried it but no sound it locked everything looked fine but no sound also no signal on DAw when it's connected
WOW, I have 18i20 2cnd generation, but a friend wants to sell liquid 56 cause I needed more inputs, should I buy? Will the adat work with it?Please an answer will help me
Been using mine for about 4 years and still works great. I had installed a firewire port into my windows PC to operate it but now I need 24 plus tracks. I had purchased an additional Pro 40 to connect them together but it was a headache trying to do this. With that being said I am purchasing a new interface which gives me unlimited tracks on my Reaper DAW.
There is a combination of two adapters at around 150 usd with which you can connect it to thunderbold / USB 4. I aquired one and took a different root. It is easy to get a firewire card for PCI and PCIe, and while Apple is a bit behind with a Mac Pro there is something called Hackintosh. A good compatible and mostly modern PC from the pre owned market did cost me less that the adapters.
i use the saffire pro 40 on a macbook pro 2014 catalina, with apple firewire to thunderbolt adapter, and its a pretty good interface, i didn´t have issues at all. focusrite has a version of the saffire mix control app that works with mojave and catalina. Nice video.
Bought one for 50 bucks, works perfectly. I use it as backup system for my Liquid Saffire, I have 26 i/o for dirt cheap. The Pro40's are used for 16 track 'on the road' recording, one running Firewire to my Mac, the other one in standalone mode connected with adat. All runs fine on Catalina 🎵🎶
Mine is being running fine but recently I had to move my studio and today trying it everything shows up fine except that it's not playing out sound or showing output signals dunno what's wrong again
Loving the Channel, I really enjoyed the video going through that old Yamaha board. Never really considered a much older mixing board. It's kind of inspired me a little. So busy on the latest Mic Pre's and Compressors. Why not dive into an old board or console, at the very least it would be cool for analog summing.
I had one for a very long time and it ran great. I’m horrible with maintenance and used to leave this thing on for days sometimes weeks at a time and it still ran like a champ. I actually got my first label placements with this and mixed a handful of Latin billboard tracks on this thing 😂😂 It finally died on me and I upgraded to a Lynx Aurora N
@@fcukingalien That totally depends on the PCI card you have. If it's something like an RME HDSP9652 w/ multiple ADAT I/O then yes. You would need a system with a Firewire 400 port in order to configure the Pro 40 units as stand alone but then you would be good.
oh, well as soon as you said ADAT, then yes, absolutely :P Or it should. I was thinking this was like when I hooked up my old AF MOTU 2496 mkIII that uses PCI or PCI-X (old Mac card bus). The answer, shockingly, was yes. MOTU still has modern Windows drivers for it. The only issue I had was at times it got out of sync if I used Sleep, I'd wake the computer up and it would be sped up or slowed down.
I have mines running on my MP 5,1 Monterey OS. Using it with the Behringer UMC 1820 w/ ada8200. I have it all aggregated with the UMC as the main output while the Pro 40 is being used for the extra 8 analog inputs for a total of 24 inputs!!! The system runs fine. I am just getting used to the Pro 40 and its Mix Control s/w. i just wish that the Mix Control ui could be expandable with its view, it's very tiny. But other than that, I love having this Pro 40 that is in absolutely mint condition. It was given to me by my cousin abt a week ago, who never really used it bc he has the newer Focusrite. I got it for free. So now, I'm going to keep my MP 5,1 bc it is totally maxed out and doesn't seem to be giving me any issues. Considering how old my MP is, this system is performing quite great in 2024. Thinking about buying a new cmptr, but at the moment it is not a priority as long as I am able to record a band without hiccups.., I'm good 👍🏾
I bought Pro40 in 2013 and was using that up to the last year. I upgraded my PC and unfortunately I couldn't find a good and reliable FireWire PCI card. I couldn't use the same PCI card as in previous PC as the new main board didn't have the same slot. What I did? I bought Scarlett 18i20 and hooked the PRO 40 as ADAT input. Now I have 16 inputs and I am very happy with that.
Thanks for this, I have 18i20 2cnd generation, but a friend wants to sell liquid 56 cause I needed more inputs, should I buy? Will the adat work with it?Please an answer will help me
As long as you can get it to connect to a version of Mix Control that works with your computer and that sees the liquid 56 you should be able to get it to work. May take some trial and error though
