RME Audio , in future music cannot get any worse than today ...can it ??

@@dmomcilovic9185 Haha, we are referring to the technology rather than the music itself. :-)

Making the SSL and neve consoles of the 70s & 80s affordable... that’s my dream...

My biggest constraint is the use of real estate. I get that many home producers prefer VSTs. But if I want analogue gear, the rack takes up a lot of space.

Waiting for the MADIface Pro AVB FS including ADAT, 1MOhm instrument input and 4 individual hp outs (mini trs ok). Not kidding as to the fundamental message. Something portable and mobile providing ample connectivity and at the same time serving as a studio center piece. Especially in these times I find myself travelling around doing recordings here and there with my laptop that I use in the studio, too. I’d love to see it fastened to the top of an AVB Tool shaped item (so they share the same footprint) to which it is “hard-wired”. Two combo ins, two line ins, 2 mains, 2 inserts, 4 HP outs mini trs, seriously!).

We‘re excited too :)

@Katka Švecová For now.. But AVB is better for audio transport than Dante when it comes to quality(less jitter f.e.). You see that some manufactures are doing both, like RME. Both standards have its advantages.

Fingers crossed! :-)

Thank you Tim :)

You can't go wrong with any of those ;-)

Hey Seth, Thank you for these great questions. In this scenario we needed the UFX+, because we wanted to record and monitor a lot of different sources (drums, vocals, synth, guitar etc). So we used the UFX+ as the interface, keep in mind the M-1610 Pro is a pure AD/DA converter, while hooking up all relevant sources. As you can see, we had an R10 API rack full of elysia modules. This was hooked up directly to the M-1610 Pro because the 24+ dBu gave us sufficient headroom to drive all the modules. That gave us the possibility to hook up a DI bass to the UFX+ and then process it though all the modules with no latency. Our AVB devices are the most recent products in our lineup. Hence they benefit from newer technologies, BUT this doesn’t mean, that our „older“ devices such as the Micstasy are irrelevant. In fact, we have producers who use all our preamps differently due to slight sound differences. For example: the Micstasy is often used for classical recordings, while the XTC has a huge community amongst rock and pop producers. No matter what RME product you choose, you can’t go wrong. It’s all down to your taste and production setup.

In terms of AD/DA, the ADI-2 Pro is perfect. The only thing you need to manage is a monitoring solution, since the ADI-2 has no separate monitoring output.

It's the ne Sessiondesk Home :-)

@@RMEAudio Ahh lovely, thank you!

In this scenario, we used a Luminex Gigacore 10 Switch. The AVB standard is 802.1BA and we recommend Luminex but there are many options available from Presonus and L'Acoustics. If you have bigger installations, Cisco and Extreme Networks have also certified switches in their portfolio. It's always important to use a switch certified by the Avnu Alliance. I hope this helps you out :-)

The RME AVB converters can be connected to various MADI interfaces as well as to the Digiface AVB. rme-audio.de/digiface-avb.html A connection via MADI to a Digiface Dante is also possible. This makes it easy to combine different systems.

Yes you need the Digiface AVB for a Windows PC ... I read that Mac's already have the AVB protocol implemented but I have no idea what kind of hoops you need to jump through to make it work without the Digiface, if that's even possible... with that said it works without issues on my PC.

@@Sheckywoo thanks a lot for your answer! Ok I'll continue to think about my upgrade path

RME devices are MILAN standard. If the other devices also meet these general standards, it should not be a problem.

It’s a high quality grade microphone preamp that can act also as a line preamp/converter.

@@RMEAudio thanks a lot!!

Simply with ADAT :)

Maybe i should move to AVB audio setup

@@impulseproman I love my UFX! No need to update yet!

@@impulseproman It depends on your situation. If you have long cable runs going to multiple rooms etc than it might be a viable option. The original UFX is still really powerful. They keep updating TMFX. If you need more Preamps, there are tons of choices to hook up via analog or digital connections.

@@AllenMarkel I love my RME interface UFX, UCX, BABYFACE PRO, RAYDAT

HIgh-End. AVB has much lower jitter than other network protocols. Combined with pristine clear, high-end converters and Steadyclock FS it's now the best we can deliver in this product range.

How many channels do you need?

RME Audio I am looking at another 2 XLRs a minimum for location recording.

@@ABS_AD77 Did you get an answer?

@@TheOneMonk No

@@RMEAudio i think that is the reason why RME should upgrade their UCX interface. Cause it offers a midlevel I/Os between Babyface Pro and 802 or UFX. Babyface Pro unfortunately has not enough inputs and outputs on its own. It needs another device. A new UCX Mark 2 will sell like a lot!

RME I mean

Probably at our next tradeshow ;)

Yes, because AVB is a protocol standard which everyone can implement. And RME is very flexible with AVB settings, so you can adapt. MILAN will be the standard for audio companies.

@@RMEAudio thats great to hear we will be able to mix and match our gear

When did that happen?

If anything RME is known for extremely good long term support of legacy products!

@@chrisbauer1925 Thank you :-)

I have my UFX for close to 10 years. It's still supported and still better than 90% of what's out there! In what way was your outdated a month later?

pfft, dude! RME is one of the few companies that actually keep their old products alive, for example my old hdsp5296 pci is still rocking, it is over 15years old. And I just moved to madi fx hdspe knowing that despite madi is fading out, my card will be suported by rme for years to come. RME is awesome when it comes to driver support etc. If you're crying about RME coming up with AVB stuff, that is just how the world works, or how do you think things should go when a company adopts new technologies?
