Hi Pandu! I emailed Focusrite via the support answerbase if they could release a linux driver. Since all Saffire products are fully supported with Linux and the Saffire 6 is still very new I hope they will develop a linux driver for it. I also tried the alternatives (using vista and the enclosed Ableton Lite Live 7) but it didn't work as good as it could with a linux real-time kernel ;) This is what I emailed: > Dear Focusrite Team! > > After comparing many different USB Interfaces from even more manufacturers > I finally came to the conclusion that the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB might be > the right choice for me. > > In addition to the high-quality preamps and other useful features there was > another argument which clearly pointed out a product of Focusrite.
