Saffire users...

I've set up my new saffire and I'm trying to plug my guitar directly into the input and track using Pod Farm. However, it will only let me monitor through the saffire while I'm tracking. But after I've already recorded the track, then I get to monitor through my DAW and can hear the effects from the amp sims. Does that make sense? Essentially I'm trying to be able to monitor through my daw so that I can hear the effects from pod farm while I'm tracking. Anyone know what to do about this issue?

You haven't setup mix control right.
Open mix control, down in the left corner choose "Router" and then "DAW Tracking" as router preset.

^ I'm pretty sure that's not essential though? Mix Control can be on its default setting, you just have to make sure you have monitoring activated in your DAW, surely? I'm not saying you're wrong, Noumenon, but you've just totally fuckin confused me

Maagisk, have you got the saffire set up as your main ASIO device in your DAW?

You guys are BOTH correct. You have to have Live Monitoring set up in your DAW and Mix control.

I always knew I could depend on you guys for anything

Sorry, I assumed live monitoring was setup in the sequencer I got My saffire56 yesterday and all I had to do was setup mix control, hence the answer

My only grub now is that I have to stretch such a long way to regulate the monitor level :/ The volume control in osx is so flaky.

Big knob anyone?
