thats going to sound pants.

Behringer will degrade the signal... because lets face it, its the fisher price of audio gear.

Get a decent external interface and plug your monitors directly into it...

ah fuckery. cost so much for a decent audio interface though. does the focusrite saffire 6 have a knob to control master volume?

Would i just require 1 rca cable going from the focusrite 6 going to my monitors?

KRK's have jack inputs so just need a dual jack to dual jack cable and job done

Mackie makes a mixboard called the Onyx, It's a mixer & interface in one unit. Very cool cuz it works well, has motorized faders (so you can save your levels), and it lowers the footprint on your desk as it is only one piece of gear. They are avalible in 4,8,&16 channel models. The only problem is they cost BIG $.

The Onyx 820i is actually pretty decently priced! I was looking to get one a while back.

Theres always that, too ^

Think i might purchase the saffire 6. anybody got any experience with this interface? will the fact that it is usb 1.1 affect the performance at all? thanks

why do you think it's cheaper than most
simple rule of buying
good build
good sound
low price

pick 2 of the 3

is it not any good? reviews looked alright....

oh it's def one of the best in the price range
just saying

Yeah to be honest im not massivly into recording, im just afer an interface cos my internal soundcard is a piece of shit. As long as the interface can provide quality sound then im happy

Unless you wanna step into the 200 quid range, its probably your best bet (or the mackie I posted above)

This.

Where would you guys recommend getting an interface checked? I have reason to believe my 2nd hand Audio 8 DJ is 'broken'.
I mean what kind of shop. I already contacted NI sevice but they wouldn't agree on me sending it to them.

your local comp guru

Cheers for the help guys, i better start saving up my pennies..

Ok one last question, I'll pretty much just use the saffire 6 as a soundcard, I won't really be using the recording facilities as I produce everything "inside the box". Will usb 1.1 limit how many tracks I can create in ableton for example? Mainly midi tracks. Thanks
