THe phones port is mapped to either channels 1/2 or 3/4 when you press the button you can choose which ones you are hearing through the phones. It's great!

Well the saffire 6 USB is on its way back.

The support guys art Focusrite admitted they had a Mac driver issue and no planned time to fix it!

No idea what to get, tempted to Audio Kontrol 1 because of the free softsynth choices.

The first time I pissed about rebooting and pulling leads out, but it may be that all I needed to do was go to sound preferences an tell the mac to use Konnekt again. Anyway it was ok after that until last night when it did it again. This time I messed around trying to reinstall the latest software but actually I think I may have already had it, so it probably wont make any difference. I turned the buffer size up a bit in Live.
Just call the TC support (I mean directly Denmark, not some local distributor),it is worth it, easier/faster to explain and it is their job to assist you and they are competent, later can communicate via Email but you wont be "unknown entity".
I couldnt resist seeing ridiculous prices and Konnekt 6 is on its way, will use for DJing till RME Babyface comes. I know 24D worked fine and once tried Desktop live, loved the controls on top, ideal for DJ. Since I already had 2 TC, wouldnt buy another without being sure it will work fine with both pc and Mac.

I should calrify I meant the Traktor controller along with the audio 2 DJ. Not a single glitch in nearly a week of hammering it, very happy!
