I’ve got an update video coming out everybody. I may have been wrong about the RME and possibly may have changed my mind. Lol 😅

Recently got an RME Babyface Pro FS and man I started to hear many details in music that was never there before like I use totally different headphones.. the sound is of this device is worth the investment imo also the portability there is nothing as compact, mobile and as professional as RME. I strongly recommend! So happy with the investment.

Nice to see a fellow Adam Audio fan. 🤜🤛 I love my A7V monitors. I just ordered the RME from Zzounds (used your link 😉). Should be delivered on Friday. I'll be using it just for listening to music and playing PC games.

Thank you very much for the support!!! And I love these A7Vs also. I'm REALLY tempted to order a pair of A8Hs to test and compare. You're going to love the RME. I just made a video about me changing my mind and switching full time to the BabyFace Pro Fs. Be patient with the mix software. It's a bit tricky to learn but when you see what you can do with it, you will probably never look at another interface brand. lol

Yeah Apollo sounds great. Had no issues with the Thunderbolt version on Mac, Very stable.

@jenyahp2828 19 күн бұрын

One of the biggest advantages is definitely the ADAT connectivity. UAD has only a IN. If you are willing to expand your I/Os then you’re shot out of luck. I’ve been on a Apollo for the last 3 years and I love it but the ADAT connectivity does suck a lot.

Hi - thanks for the review. I am tempted by the apollo. I am also a windows user without thunderbolt. However, I wondered if the thunderbolt version would work with a thunderbolt hub, such as the caldigit ts4. Any idea?

@joshuabutlermusic 6 ай бұрын

I’ve heard different outcomes with Thunderbolt hubs. I can’t verify myself for the Apollo but I’ve never had good luck with similar interfaces and a hub. Your mileage may very.

Great video. I had the silver face apollo on windows and had a few weird issues with no sound needing power cycling and also hated the fact I had to change my Ableton main outs to 5/6 so the apollo console would speak to it properly. Sounds like they have not given TLC to windows even with the X?

Yeah, I switched back to the RME after I posted this video I may have a rebuttal video coming out in the next couple of weeks. I want to be sure first. But the RME has been flawless so-far.

I’ve been using Apollo interfaces for a number of years. I’m interested in trying RME because of what I’m hearing about the sound , but the software look’s about 15 years old. They should consider a complete overhaul/update of their design. It sounds like it’s not intuitive, and it just doesn’t look very inviting.

@digitalmarketinghumans 2 ай бұрын

I have both. You can't go wrong with either or. I can say this, it's a bit semantics but when it comes down to actual play back and sound quality, the RME sounds a BIT slightly better but with that being said, Apollo Twin X is still amazing, and the DSP plugins are amazing, although may be bit pricey but well worth some of them. Again, both are REALLY good!

Can I use multiple monitors 2pairs (4monitors) with the RME audio interface? And mirror output 1-2 to 3-4

@Styrant 13 күн бұрын

I run 2 pairs of speakers but i have one running on the SPDIF on the left side digitally, u can do pretty much any routing setup u want to do w their totalmix mixer, u can make various complex setups n save them as snapshots to jump between. maybe u can look into a monitor management box like a big knob passive if u can only do XLR.

Returned my Apollo x4 for the RME Babyface Pro FS. Easier to use for live gigs and you don’t have to use external power. Also, I don’t need all the bloat that comes with UAD.

instant sell my UAD Apollo X4 after getting RME Babyface Pro FS. If you are invested in Apollo software and plan to travel on the road, and you can't bring the interface with you (bulky, heavy, extra power cable) then expect your project to fail miserably. I have since steer away from UAD plugins as much as possible, except if using it via UADx version then yea. Babyface Pro sound quality is just very clean, warm, high clarity, and simple to use with just a usb cable, Plus nowadays the CPU processing power is so great (using M1 max) the whole DSP chip is just a tech debt right now in my workfllows.

The satelite is a good option for DSP, but needs power.

No contest here. RME all the way especially since UADx plugins run natively and make the DSP redundant when using Apple silicon computers

That’s when mixing but not when tracking. Uad plugins can be tracked through low latency and it’s a far better experience than RME. I have both and I stopped using the RME except when I travel.

Apollo mixer is like kindergarden level compared to totalmix. Totalmix just in higher ligue. When you understand it's basics by watching 1-2 youtube videos, there is no way back)
