• A critical investment in better sound
• Saffire PRO 40
• OctoPre MkII Dynamic

Your interface handles your studio's A/D conversion - if your interface is a slouch, it's degrading the sound of everything, and negating any other upgrades you've spent your hard-earned cash on. Similarly, if your preamps aren't up to snuff, well, you get the picture. Focusrite needs no introduction. Their gear is used in pro studios worldwide for a reason: it's bulletproof and sounds great. This bundle is your opportunity to get your sonic house in order by outfitting your studio with Focusrite's Saffire PRO 40 and OctoPre MkII Dynamic.

The Focusrite Saffire PRO 40 is all about sounding great. And what else would you expect from Focusrite? This company makes some of the very best preamplifiers available. And with the Saffire PRO 40, they give project/home studio owners the best preamp possible in an affordable, I/O-packed box. Best yet, you don't get just one or two preamps with the Saffire PRO 40 - you get a whopping eight amazing-sounding preamps, so you're ready for full-band recordings. Just plug your microphones in, use the handy front-panel gain control knobs, and keep your eye on the bright LED display - you'll have pro-level sound pumping into your DAW via FireWire, no doubt about it.

This is cool. Focusrite's OctoPre MkII Dynamic does more than take advantage of your interface's lonely, unused ADAT input for a beefed-up channel count. It actually features eight "single-dial" Focusrite compressors, aimed to give you much of the character of the renowned Focusrite Red 3 (without the hefty price tag). So, let's go over it again. The OctoPre MkII Dynamic sports eight award-winning preamps from Focusrite that you can pipe into your existing audio interface via ADAT. That means you can get ready to track an entire band at once. And while you track, rather than use all of your computer's bandwidth calling up a CPU-hungry compression plug-in, you can score just the right amount of compression, right from the get go.
