What is the difference between the input mix and the S/W tracks (represented by either side of the output crossfaders in SaffireControl PRO)?
Each pair of outputs (1/2 & 9/10) can have a unique blend of a generic mix of the inputs and audio from the recording platform/sequencer in use (e.g. Logic, Cubase etc.). The input mix is created using the eight faders at the top of SaffireControl PRO’s GUI (the function of which can be switched between different groups of inputs: analogue/SPDIF). If you just want to hear this input mix and nothing else on one of the pairs of outputs, you can set the crossfader for the output pair in the extreme left position. Pre-recorded audio coming from the sequencer is called the PLAYBACK MIX or S/W (software) tracks. S/W tracks 1-10 in SaffireControl PRO relate to the audio routed to Saffire PRO Outputs 1-10 within the sequencer. So, S/W 1/2 normally represents the master mix as this is often routed to outputs 1/2 in the sequencer, unless more complex routing has been set up. There are switches in SaffireControl PRO to activate S/W 1/2 across all pairs of analogue outputs, so that this master mix
