I also really did want to buy the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB, but unfortunately it does not seem to work. See these discussions: http://goo.gl/lXzWe http://goo.gl/fu0zr http://goo.gl/pHxfL As far as my research goes, similar devices are: – Presonus Audiobox – M-Audio Fast Track Pro – M-Audio Mobile Pre MK II (it's in my list, but I can't remember if it works as flawlessly as the others) – Lexicon Alpha/Lambda/Omega Studio They are all selling for 100-200€ in Germany (apart from the Lexicon Alpha, which is smaller and cheaper). There is also the Roland (or Cakewalk or Edirol) UA-25(EX), which seems to be a favourite for many people, but it is discontinued and disappeared out of the big German stores only some days ago. I am not decided yet which device to buy. Is there one device, that has clearly better (or worse) quality than the others? Especially in regard to the mic preamps? I heard only good of the Focusrite preamps, so I'm quite sad that it does not work. (Looking at the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 as well, but I need a small USB device first for use with my laptop.) 2011/9/14 Hartmut Noack <zettberlin@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > Am 14.09.2011 13:09, schrieb Jeremy Jongepier: >> >> On 09/14/2011 10:12 AM, Hartmut Noack wrote: >>> >>> Enybody out there, who knows reliable and Linux-proof USB2-devices for >>> say, less than 250,- ? >> >> Hello Hartmut, >> >> Maybe this Wiki page could be helpful: >> http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/current_audio_gear > > nice page, looks very promising. :-) > >> >> Best, >> >> Jeremy >> _______________________________________________ >> Linux-audio-user mailing list >> Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user >> > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user > -- Peter Crighton | (mainly) Progressive Rock musician based in Mainz/Wiesbaden, Germany http://www.petercrighton.de _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
