Any Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 users?

I just got a Pro14 and I'm trying to learn how to use it with my mac. Any tips appreciated.

I'm trying to learn how to configure the MixControl. I had a little exercise in mind where i was going to digitise some of Mrs tubeswell's old cassette tapes for her using thee 3.5mm headphone out jack on her crappy cassette player and either run this into the SPDIF in/out jacks (if they are configurable to accept analog audio as stereo inputs?), or into 2 of the TS input jacks on the Pro 14.

I have an iMac intel core i5 2.5GHz with 6GB RAM and a mid 2012 macbook pro 2.5GHZ i5 with 8GB RAM, both with OSX 10.8.4 and a firewire 400-800 cable and Saffire MixControl 3.2. I've tested the Pro14 with the iMac, and everything lights up and synchs and locks as its supposed to.

Both the macs have garbageband '11 (6.0.5) which I am familiar with and which will probably suffice for the DAW for this exercise, and I also have Ableton Live Lite 8 that came with the Pro 14 (which I am only just learning how to use).

So can the SPDIF in/out ports be configured as stereo analog inputs in the MixControl?

TIA

No, digital only.

Is it otherwise working? Setup should be pretty easy.. or not.

TFT Reeltarded. I wondered whether using the SPDIF as analog inputs was just pipe-dream. Yes the unit seems to light up properly synch and lock and everything. I just have to figure out how to use the MixControl.

Dilemma solved. Lesson learned.
