FOCUSRITE SAFFIRELE
Quick Start

S A F F I R E V S T / A U P LU G - I N S U I T E A U T H O R I S AT I O N Before you can use your Saffire plug-in suite, the suite must be authorised. Note: Non-authorisation of the plug-in suite will not prohibit operation of SaffireControl LE or Ableton Lite. If your music computer is not connected to the internet, you must perform a manual authorisation. This process will ask you either to save or load a registration file. You must first save, then transfer this file onto an internet-connected computer, either by burning the file onto a CDR or by using a USB/Firewire storage device. Next, access the authorisation page, located on the Saffire LE product page of the Focusrite website. The web page will then save an authorised registration file, which should then be transferred back to your music computer and loaded within the authorisation to complete the process. While you�re online, we recommend you register your product. RECORDING BASICS Saffire LE has 6 Inputs, 4 Analogue (Inputs 1-4) and 2 Digital (Inputs 5/6). Inputs 1 and 2 (analogue) are on the front panel of the hardware and can be used to record either microphone (using the XLR Inputs below), Line-level or Instrument-level sources (using the Jack Inputs above). Make sure that the phantom power switch is engaged if using a condenser mic, and that nothing is plugged into the LINE IN above as this will override the XLR Input. Gain controls for Inputs 1 and 2 are at the top of the front panel. Use the switches to select between LINE and INSTrument (if required) and the dials to set the Gain level.
