Just FYI Beep.
All Focusrite interfaces use Mix Control.

As you were

the focusrite saffire 6 usb does not need the mix control software.
I don't use it and can get 24 bit with no problems at all.
 

I stand corrected.


Psst! hey Beep..... Saffire 6 USB does not use it.

When I installed the drivers for my Scarlett MixControl installed along with them so I thought they were intertwined but now I think I'm remembering an option to not include it on the driver install. It was so long ago though I forget.

I've never been able to change those settings in Sonar though so I just use the MixControl thingy to make it happen. I'm kind of curious now.

Anyway... I was just popping in for a break after going on a cleaning rampage. Now I'm starting the EQ Explained series and I'm hoping to get it done tonight. Later, dudes.

 

Just to clear up some confusion, the lower i/o count focusrite interfaces do not have a MixControl software.  This includes the Saffire 6, Scarlett 2i2 and Scarlett 2i4.

In terms of the issue at hand, make sure that the driver mode is set to ASIO on the Playback and Recording tab of Sonar's prefs and as already mentioned, make sure that the Record Bit Depth is set to 24 bit on the Audio Data tab.
