I did indeed
I got the LE version though
http://www.dv247.com/computer-hardware/ ... ite--33410
It's about £25 quid cheaper, comes with more inputs / less outputs, nicer colour imo, other than that I'm not sure there's too much of a difference,
they also have a b-stock version for about £130 on the same website if you want to search for it,
my computer currently can't handle it (farr tooo slowwww) but when it did I managed to get chrystal clear input recorded from my decks (minus the ground loop hum
)
can't really compare it to anything else (beside built in sound card) but yeah definately for me a good buy

Well Ramadanman uses one, that may say something to ya.
"my setup is simple: pc, soundcard (focusrite saffire le), monitors (adam p11a) and fruity loops. "

Yuh I wanna know about this too...
I seen this on that website too, when pricing up tings...looked fairly cheap and decent for what it is...but did see the LE version too, which was a better colour...is that a girly thing to say?!
Hmmm...
It seems fairly cheap for what it is? I am however just starting out on researching this stuff (Finally just found the dollar for monitors and audio interface bizness woooo)...so I could be wrong?
Pro's and Con's anyone? Compared to say a standard ting like that EMU everyone jizzes on about? 'Scuse me French, just woken up...was drinking gin last night

Depends, i've heard mixed reveiws on this, some saying the fookers really buggy and all. But then i've never used one so can't comment.
Some have also said it's really good. I suppose if you've got a PC there's a lot of choice out there now, with gear going for cheap.
I'd be interested to see if it comes with any decent plugs and what not, I plumped for the fookin' expensive Apogee Duet which is mint mind, and has a lovely clear sound, but then your paying for that quality. Thing is the bastard doesn't come with any plugs and you just get six inputs which is measly.
Lemme know how you get on!

I just ordered a Saffire Pro and I'm waiting for it to come in. It got tons of good reviews all over the place. I'm sure you'll be happy.
