    I have owned about 10 audio interfaces all the way back to the first Soundblaster. None of them reproduce transients like the RME interface. I could hear the transients being muffled by the old interfaces but I could not find any way to fix them. RME became that solution. I can clearly hear the difference between my old recordings and the RME recordings. I have owned expensive interfaces as well like the E-MU 1820m and still had this problem with transients. Most people would not notice the muffled/distorted transients but I could easily hear them. Having had this problem with every previous interface, this is why I am skeptical that any interface can outperform the RME. Sound is my number #1 issue. My RME device is the Fireface UCX II.

    • @johnwalter6410
      @johnwalter6410 2 роки тому +2

      Muffled transients? If your interface is doing that something else is wrong. No modern interface should sound like that. I use RME for driver reliabilty. But as far as sound goes, the difference in sound between a cheap (modern) interface and an expensive one is negligible. Anyone who says they can hear a huge difference is fooling themselves.

    • @FlockofAngels
      @FlockofAngels 2 роки тому +2

      @@johnwalter6410 That is what most audiophiles tell you that the difference is negligible when it come to transients and also overall clarity. But that is not the case. Not one interface had this problem but all of my previous interfaces muffled many of my transients over several versions of Windows and several different computer systems until I tried the RME interface. I can show you hundreds of examples of muffled transients. Occasionally I get a muffled transient with the RME but it is very rare. I had to train my ear to hear the muffled transients. A lot of new interfaces are coming out on the market and I am hesitant to buy them because of this issue. All interfaces are not the same when it comes to sound quality. As for driver reliability, you can buy a $50 dollar interface that has Windows 11 drivers.

      @@FlockofAngels I dabble in video so I understand that, sensors use light so less light = more ISO which = less quality / more noise (Aperture and sensor size also plays aa role) An audio equivalent for me would be recording really low then boosting the gain which also brings up the noise floor, these 2 concepts match almost perfectly between audio and video/photography. Boosting something an unreasonable amount = more noise.
      I don't get how any of that correlates to audio transients specifically, especially if not affecting anything else, I am not discrediting the possibility, just curious about what's going on.

PSU on the input chip went out at year 5, RME handled the repair with a local Houston shop near me and i was back in business in less than 3 weeks.

    RME provides the newest drivers, even stuff like the ARC USB supports the old interface. Latency is below 6ms - which is still fast.

      @doggodproductions2259 Рік тому

      I absolutely adore my Aurora (n), I end up using it over my Burl mothership converters and even my Hilo, as it's essentially a Hilo without the slight transformer coloration, but with alot more channels. I used the original for 10+ years with great results, so when Lynx finally decided to release a new Aurora, I knew it would be worth it. Theyre not a brand that makes frivolous releases, you know if they're releasing a whole new Aurora, it's going to be a significant upgrade. The Aurora (n) also has one of the best clocks in the business. I've stopped using dedicated clocks in most cases and clocking everything to the Aurora (n), sometimes the Hilo (they use the same clock). It's pretty incredible, if you clock the original Aurora to the (n)'s clock, it improves the OG Aurora significantly.
      I use the Aurora (n) often for mastering because I use a ton of tube gear, and most of my 2 channel converters (Burl B2, Hilo) have a bit more color than I want when converting back to digital.

    I've got a BabyFace Pro, which is about as low end as RME ever made, and it's still bomb proof. Body is a single aluminium block, supports TotalMix FX software, connected to a cheap Behringer ADAT interface for 8 extra I/O channels, ludicrously low latency on everything, amazing sound, still gets firmware and driver updates. Basically, I can't say a bad thing about it. I'd say that I'll eventually upgrade to something more capable, but right now I don't see that I'll need to for the work I do.
    When I bought it I was weighing up a few options in the same price range, and I'm so glad I went with RME. Truly amazing piece of kit, and TotalMix FX is incredible.

In the above video, he specifically shows the current drivers for the Fireface 400 which was released in 2006. Not a lot of interfaces are supported that long. What shocked me was that beta native M1 drivers were available for it when the M1 macs were released. Not many are on top of their driver game like RME.

    *Hands Down*, RME is, and always has been, imho, the best audio hardware manufacturer in the pro audio industry, Wytse. During the 1990's, my Hammerfall DSP System Multiface made me *very happy*. During the mid and late 2010's my RME Fireface 800 made me *very happy*. In 2019, a very good friend and former band mate, steered me to Avid Pro Tools Ultimate, HDX, Avid HD/IO, S3, Avid Dock. Shortly thereafter, I realized how *totally amazing* my RME gear had been, even with my "lowly" Multiface 1. That, AND it all if still fully functional and technically capable to this minute, and is only modestly dated.
    Everything about my "prior" RME environment was nothing less than spectacular: HW Reliability, Driver Reliability & Support, SW (TotalMix & all other), Tech Support, and in every other regard. Truthfully, if I did not have such a significant monetary investment in all of my Avid HW & SW, I would ditch all of it in a heartbeat and get back on board with all RME gear, "yesterday".

I didn't have the budget to buy new, so I bough the kit used on Reverb from a few different shops and the total for the complete setup came to less than $3,000 USD (the HDSPe MADI FX itself was never used and still shrink wrapped in the box). Similar to you, I am on an M1 Mac (Macbook Air) and I can't get lower than 4.6 ms of latency, but it's good enough for me for now, even for tracking (i.e. vocals, guitar amp sims).

    I'm interested in the concept of putting (far) more money into the converters vs the computer. I wonder if people sort of short change the computer in the budget because they're not really factoring in everything it does, but I guess that depends on how you use it. If you don't care about latency, you don't use a lot of plugins, you don't use any software synths, then an M1 Mac Mini would probably be fine, yes? Sadly I do everything, including keyboards, in the box, and I drool over the Mac Studio while using my 2018 i7 MBP. Regarding RME stuff, it's out of my budget range, but it seems outstanding.

I leave my MADIface on all the time and it’s never failed. Not cheap but if I just went there first I would have saved money instead of buying other options.

    Heyya, how have you set up the routing between the four RME pieces? You mentioned the M32's connect to the MADI FX interface via MADI. Wondering how does the ADI 2 come into play? Is that connected directly to the Mac via USB? Connected via the MADI FX via AES?

    I use RME audio interface, amongs others, it is great but you have to modded heavily to really make it sing, use external word clock, upgrade opamaps, audio capacitors, decouple converters etc. Stockaudio interfaces sound very harsh and sterile, no matter how expensive it is.

    Why did you go with the HDSPe MADI FX when the Digiface AVB costs about $1000 less? Was it because of the millisecond or so of reduced latency you'd get from PCIe? MIDI I/O? AES IO?

    • @bits-bytes
      @bits-bytes Рік тому +2

      I think for the following reasons: 1. no need for buying an AVB switch, 2. no complexity of AVB in terms of clock changes, 3. dedicated/proven multimode fiber connections, 4. PCIe based solution vs USB, 5. resource optimizing HDSPe MADI FX driver, allocates only computer resource for groups of 8 ports that are active, 6. More I/O options, analog I/O for phones, MIDI ports, AES port to integrate ADI-2 Pro FS as high quality converter with unique features (4 ref levels, auto reflevel, dynamic loudness, etc, 7. full implementation of FX chip if needed for certain cases.

  • @edfx

    If you had to choose 2 out of: 1-very low latency, 2-just works, 3-affordable then RME is 1 and 2. Is there option where very low latency + afforadable is fulfilled but don't care about if it works or not?

  • @gregrodrigueziii8075
    @gregrodrigueziii8075 2 роки тому

    I work for Post prod, and some occasional music. I'm still on RME fireface 800, and no I wont replace it with a new interface and be bothered if its gonna fail. Of course unless I go the route of 5X more expensive than this. I do want to upgrade to a newer RME interface but not a priority right now. You'll never know how important reliability is more than dsp's, or new feature until you experience the hassle free with RME.

    I think I would have preferred some retaining nuts on the BNC connectors of the expansion bracket, so that the whole thing doesn't flex when you put the slightest pressure on them, but other than that the HDSPe MADI FX seems pretty good.

    As far as I've tested, THE only stable drivers available. I personally now own the UFX+ that travels with me at FOH for live gigs. Have never had a problem with it (fun fact, numerous mixers have had problems but my interface kept working). Also own a UA twin and loath everything about it. Owned numerous interfaces, nothing compares to RME.

    The MADI-FX interface is awesome...probably the only downside I've encountered is that TotalMix can get a little confusing when you have 300+ channels available. Lots of side scrolling, and it's a good plan to spend some time labelling the totalmix inputs (and the inputs in Reaper too). At least it was a little confusing for me, especially with converters that only fill 24 of those 56 or 64 channels. Made for a number of "Channel X on my converter is Channel ? on my TotalMix input row" moments.
    Overall I'm super happy with it; especially when connected to both my 24Ch converter and X32 mixer. Lots of options for routing and cue mixes. I thought I'd end up using the onboard FX more than I actually do, however. In practice I just use Total-Mix for the live inputs, and then add time based FX from Reaper on separate busses. Not really a big deal if your reverb/echo has some latency.
    Also should mention that RME's support has been fantastic. Even though I bought the card used they helped me sort out an issue I was having with static noise, which turned out to to be user error (SSL Alphalink uses 56 ch MADI instead of 64...get it wrong and you still get sound, but nots of noise along with it).
