So after all the trouble I had with my E-MU I have finally purchased and received my Saffire 6 USB, but after installing it onto the computer and Sonar X1, another problem has arisen. Whenever I try to play my project, it says that it is 'unable to open audio record device'. I remember having this error message come up with the E-MU and I solved it by changing the outputs, but I cannot seem to find output settings that fix it. The project is set to 44kHz and is 24bit, which are the settings required for the Saffire 6, so I am stumped.
Just for the record:
My output of the tracks is set to Stereo ASIO driver 3 (there is also a Stereo ASIO driver 1 [and of course left and right] but changing the output to them doesn't seem to fix the problem)
As always, any help would be appreciated.

I have also installed the latest drivers from the Focusrite website, and installed everything on the installer CD that came with the interface.

Did you deselect the old drivers in Preferences.

Yeah I also tried uninstalling all of the E-MU drivers/programs etc. Still no luck.

Always make sure that the USB audio interface is on and operating before you start X1.

Yep the USB light flashes green so I know it is on and functioning, but I open Sonar X1 after checking this and the problem still persists.

In the project check what interface it is using. If it is not your new one change it. Than save the project. See if that helps.

In audio|devices, the inputs and outputs are Focusrite Saffire 6 ASIO drivers, and they are the only drivers there so they must be the correct ones.
