Set the buffer size to max in both the SaffireMIxControl and the Application - the sound has changed, my piano now sounds like ping pong in an echo chamber, it did sound like a paino in a glass tunnel.




Try other settings, one at a time. ASIO is not the case where the fastest setting doesn't perform well, so you try the slowest - and come to a conclusion. Often it is a Timing Issue and one or two of the settings in between the two extremes will indeed work. I'd try moving up incrementally from fastest towards the slow end, one at a time. And don't forget that you may have to shut down the host program in between settings changes on some ASIO sound devices.

That said, buffer size typically demonstrates itself in audio dropouts, clicks and pops and the like, and not in weird sounding music, which does happen when the bitrate does not match between host program and asio card.

Since your focusrite is working fine with a number of other appliations, I'd be trying any and all of the different settings inside RealBand prefs - one at a time - to see if there were any differences to be found, good bad or otherwise. If I changed a setting and no joy, I'd change that back to where it was before trying another. And so on.
