Pro sound card for use in bootcamp? Need suggestion!
Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2009 3:49 pm
Hey, so I picked up a Focusrite Saffire and as others have said - theres problems under bootcamp. I've tried all the suggestions I could get, now I'm at a point where things will play ok, but they aren't playing "correct".
Example, here's a track i noticed in one of my songs sounding weird, this is what it sounds like when i export using the default soundcard on my imac:
http://bowzer.net/temp/testbell-imacdefault.mp3
here's what it sounds like with the saffire:
http://bowzer.net/temp/testbell-saffire.mp3
the peak of the bell sound gets clipped on the saffire :S
i dont trust i'm getting proper sound from the saffire. it seemed a bit hacky that i had to get all these patches and mess with firewire latency settings to even get the thing to play without crackling.
SO. Who can recommend me a pro soundcard they know works 100% under bootcamp? All I need is xlr or 1/4" inputs, and xlr or 1/4" outputs.
