Yup, that should be fine if you are running 4 or, 5 tracks in a project.

Hi Phil i've changed the drivers to asio and it sorted out the problems so
thanks. As for the usb 1.1 thing it won't realy be a problem for me as i'll
only record vocals and i'll rarely run more than 4 or 5 channels.

I would switch to using ASIO drivers as they are generally the best option
at the moment for Focusrite  gear.  Not personally recommending this
interface as it's USB 1.1 which is not good for recording audio and
softsynthes with a high track count.  Shame really as you can do a lot with
all of the hardware switches on the box E.G, turn a stereo source to mono
etc.  Anyway, getting back to USB1.1,  From the manual:

"Whilst Saffire 6 USB is a USB 1.1 device, the USB connection will work with
any USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 compliant connector on your computer."

Subject: [ddots-l] Focusrite safire 6 problems

Hi all, i just got my focusrite safire 6, i installed the drivers, plugged
it in and opend sonar. When i plug in a mic and get level it sounds as if
it's distorting and there's a slight delay, this happens at about -5 dB SO
I'M NOT TOO LOUD. I prosume it's a latency problem and i have no clue to fix
it, firstly in audio options at driver mode, which is best to select,
wasapi, wdm/ks, asio or mme 32 bit? Then the playback and record buffers are
set to 256, on the general tab it's set to 16 bit 44.1 KHz, buffers in
playback q is on 2 and buffer size is 5%. I would appriciate any help when
it comes to drivers, buffers and latency i'm a nobody.,
