Please note that the saffire pro does not have a full-blown matrix mixer. So it will not do what you want to do. The only devices I know that have this functionality are the MOTU interfaces, the PreSonus FireStudio and AFAIK the M-Audio Pro-26. Also note that most of them have only 8 (maybe 10) analog I/O's.
