For the amount of money they charge, they should come to your house to fix it

​@@johnsuggs7828theyre stuff generally doesnt break. By support, he means that they write drivers for legacy products in perpetuity. Theyre are people usine 25 year old rme boxes. As far as price, It's actually a good value. You can pay more for less.

@@johnsuggs7828exactly 😂

Audient iD24 has entered the chat. No THD!!! One of the most accurate A-D converters for less that £285. It has ADAG out and In, world clock, line inputs and an excellent software in the computer to set anything up any way you want.

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

id like to do this - can I please ask which rme do you use for the mixbus? I own the Aid-pro 2 FS R Black Edition and it's awesome for my headphones but wonder whether the UCX II is better for the mixbus and monitoring. :) RME!!!

I use a ADI-2 DAC as a monitor controller connected w/a spdif cable to the apollo. Everything is clocked to my ADI-2 PRO, which I use for mixbus w/adat and everything runs through the apollo.

Had a similar experience when I went to 2 studios, one with an Apollo and the other with an RME. My mind was blown by the sound in the RME studio.

@@TachyonTheImmortal Thanks :)

I want to sell my Motu m4 for your RME. It has midi too. I gotta have midi.

Wow

RME is great, but this comment is just misleading. RME is known for being very neutral and transparent. There is no secret "bass and mids", especially if the A/D D/A nulls after 10 loop generations... It adds precisely *no* change in frequency response.

💪🏾

🔥

Does this interface have any problem with Mac . Can I just connect and play, or is this thing a hassle to recognize like a motu series.

@@Dispatcher813 google it. I don't use mac myself however, I can't see Mac being left out support wise as a lot of studios do run with mac OS.

@@Dispatcher813 I don't have a Mac myself but I'd be surprised if you'd have any problems, I used to have a MOTU and, while I didn't have trouble with it being recognised by my PC, I did have a load of other issues with it; not had a single issue since switching to RME.

@@Dispatcher813Nah it’s great on Mac and PC. It’s smooth

Can you get the Twin Black-lion mod or modified with better converters and preamps

❓❓

@@puresoulg I've heard about those mods but never tried them.

It’s dope so far

Dope!!!

True!

When you do that, which converters are you using with that setup? The Apollo or the UCX II?

@@algodley6099 I believe you’re using the A to D of the Apollo.

@@algodley6099 The signal comes in through the Apollo (mic/line/inst inputs) and is converted to digital within the Apollo. You can then choose to add UAD Plugins as you see fit on each of the inputs. Then route those channels out of the Apollo via ADAT Out (which is digital), which is then received by the UCX II.

​@algodley6099 that's what I was thinking. In that set up (the UAD being the master and the RME being slave), wouldn't you be tracking into the AD converters with the RME, and then listening back on the Apollo DA converters on playback anyways? And be losing out the better RME D-to-A conversion, where the difference would be most noticeable? Seems like it would defeat the purpose, because the AD conversion of the Apollo is more than sufficient for a clean input recording signal. It's the outgoing DA from the RME where you're going to notice the biggest difference. But honestly, none of it doesn't makes THAT much of a difference anyways, EXCEPT in the quality of the headphone output of the RME. In reality the outgoing DA makes no difference in the final mix because what comes out of the DAW just is what it is. Interfaces have come such a long way that Scarlett solo has more than enough pre-amp and conversion quality to record a pro level production....and no consumers are out there listening back on a RME interface lol. The end consumer will NEVER notice that last 5% of a difference in Audio quality that a pro level interface brings. Stop worrying about that last 4 or 5% in conversion quality....and start recording good music lol. Remember people...a lot of our favorite albums were recorded on equipment far inferior to what we can buy now for just a couple hundred dollars and set up in our bedrooms!

I also own the Black edition ADI Pro 2 FS R BE. Do you think for mixbus and monitoring the UCXII would sound better than the Adi Pro 2 FS R BE? I am trying to work out my setup.

@@chris-rb7bm ionno...🤔 I never heard the other device. As I stated, I've only heard the RME through headphones, which is why I bought it. If I was mixing through a pair of monitors, I'd probably wouldn't own the ADI-2 Pro FS. The converters on the Lyra are A1, just not coming from the headphone amp.

@chris-rb7bm If I had to guess, I'd think the ADI-2 pro would sound better since it's a dedicated unit. The only reason I'd see you wanting the UCX II would be for the preamps if you plan on recording.

@@coldskoolbeatz thanks for the advise. :) I will use my black edition BE then :))

Please tell me if ucx ii will work via usb I have an amd computer and there is no thunderbolt input. Thank you in advance!

I’ve been awakened 🤣🔥💪🏾

I can agree!

The RME ARC USB controller adds a lot of the functionality (and more) based on your second point. The macro actions you can program within TotalMix when paired with the ARC are pretty extensive, and if you’re not using the Durec port for recording, then it plugs straight into the interface. Look into it. There’s also the option of Total Mix Remote for iOS which is a touchscreen remote control app for all Total Mix capable devices (turning your interface into a pseudo digital mixer).

​​@@miltonfostersound I saw your good intention on your comment, but for me is a bit pointless pay extra $200,00 for a device when you already paid 1700. In my vision I only keep RME because it's very solid in terms of quality in all aspects (Round Trip Latency, Drivers, converters, etc). But in terms of ease use, they lack the items that I mentioned in my comment before. I think they should release an interface for home studio, same internal quality, less I/Os and more functions/buttons straight on the interface, like audient id24, and for the totalmix, they really should do a revision it's to much complicated, specially for home studio producers.

I’ve heard… I got the 8 and X6 rack mount units. They are definitely solid, but for this to be $1600 and to sound this good is amazing🔥

@@BoloDaProducer No doubt 💯

Bro are you forreal? I have the UR824 and I was just thinking about upgrading to the RME.

@@RespectMyFreshTV No joke. I produce and record different genres. The actual artist I worked with picked out the UR824 in a blind test that i did. Personally, I didn't hear a difference in the recodings or the mix. As I mentioned, I can definitely hear the difference with the SSL 12. It's a differnece that i personaly like. Does that mean everyome else will like it? All comes down to personal preference. Sweet water will let you return the gear within 30 days i believe, if you're not satisfied with it. Give the RME a shot. Don't take my word for it. Just don't want anyone spending money where they don't need to. Are you not liking your 824 or just want to switch it up? Mine was a little outdated, that's all. Sometimes don't believe the hype. Try it for yourself. Good luck.

@aquadiamondsekreto5280 I like the UR824 because of the stability I have. I'm looking to get better conversion, so that's where RME came in, plus I know they are rock solid on stability. I may have to test drive it and find out

Well arent you cool where should I send you your cookie?

Hey… I didn’t know…lol. Glad someone told me.. now I’m sold on it! 🤣💪🏾

Until the new model is so much better … every freakin year. Then you do an x vs y 10 years later and realise nothing has really changed,

I have a similar setup where I'm using the Lyra 1for recording, and the RME ADR-2 Pro FS for mixing/mastering.

The babyface is good for road use., and to me, It has always been better than the Apogee Duet.

I got the old thunderbolt 2 one sitting on the shelf. I might check it out. 💪🏾

Yes I accidentally set it on manual during first part of video. Didnt notice until halfway through. But I got it right later in video 💪🏾

Having depth makes your mixing job much easier

I know Right

Get the ucx bro, you won't regret it

I had the Babyface and switched to the UCX, the Dynamics section in TotalMix and the DURec function are definitely worth it, I do live sessions and record them from the interface, no DAW. And meetings everyday for which gate and compression are key. I would definitely add the ARC USB thought, I is an essential add on.

I had Apollo too. From 2014-2023. Once I got RME it was no comparison. Hands down the RME was light years ahead in sound quality n clarity (at least to my ears (20yrs exp)). I’m not going back to Apollo.

Fa sho!

​@@BoloDaProduceryeah bro get that Arc controller. That thing is like gold and a must have.

Is there a notable difference between Babyface(old) and BFP FS in terms of D to A and headphone amp quality?

@@princegeorgemusic the Babyface pro FS, is superior to the Babyface pro, and the original Babyface, and almost every aspect. With that being said, if all I had was an original blue Babyface, I’m sure I could do whatever I needed to do. But yes, I did notice a greater degree of detail, switching to the Babyface pro FS from the Babyface Pro.

@@Crysco.mp3 Thank you. Thinking of upgrading to FS frm babyface silver

They have a line called the “Pulse Case” they have plenty of sizes and it should fit well.

I actually have both and personally RME is better but not by a lot
