Thread Starter | Saffire Pro 40 or TubeFire8 - Help me decide and win a beer
I've read as much as I can about interfaces in this price range and these seem to have the most favorable reviews around the GS community. TubeFire8 - $560 new on a few websites Saffire Pro 40 - $350 b-stock on ebay I'll be using the following mics: SM57 SM7b CAD m179 I record mostly rock and roll. Windows XP. REAPER. What do you all think? Help me decide and I'll buy you a beer tomorrow night if I see you in the same bar as me.  |

Brooklyn. I'll be in Times Square for the ball like some damn tourist. Have you been able to try it with an SM7b? Quote:

Damn I'm all the way in Colorado, guess have to pass on the beer lol Unfortunately I haven't used a dynamic mic with my Pro 40, but I have used both small and large diaphragm condensers with good results: Opus Zero - Audio Samples The first sample was done just two month ago, with the Saffire Pro 40. |

Hey, that sm7b is going to need a good boost, so the built in pres may not have enough gain on the pro 40, but i own the pro 40 and love it using a gap pre73 preamp on my sm7b
