You don't have to have that set as your primary to use it in the daw, you can just select the focusrite inside the daw prefs, reboot issue solved...

 

Hey Loop -- is that specific to the focusrite? I disconnect audio devices from my Macs all the time without triggering a reboot regardless of the audio routing with respect to the system audio services. It always falls back to the built-in. I don't have a focusrite interface though.

try this for bass. i love it for big burly distort-o mess. for clean tones-- just try any old guitar tone simulators like simulanalog: http://www.simulanalog.org/guitarsuite.htm basically a jcm900. if you want big and clean-- theres decent ampeg tones in amplitube or something. you open a .vst in your recording program and plug those in on the channel you're using. it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

I'm late but I literally just read this on the focusrite sight:


 

Two Hi Z instrument inputs

No need for a separate DI. Saffire 6 USB provides instrument inputs with switchable high gain.
