🔥RME Babyface Pro FS

Babyface for More than ten years here. Never an issue. Rock solid 🤘

I sold my Apollo (got the same amount I paid for - thanks to inflation), sold all my UA plug-ins, re-purchased them all for way less from the original developers, and bought an RME Babyface Pro FS. It's been amazing! Not only did I end up making a profit but I can now work anytime, anywhere with or without an internet connection or dongle or an AC power outlet. ps, the amount of hate I've gotten from Apollo fans for sharing this info has been hilarious. Welcome to the RME world... and all it's freedoms that come with it!

Another happy BabyFace Pro FS user. The driver and forum support is simply unparalleled with other companies I've dealt with. Loved this thing as soon as the TotalMix software "clicked". Here's one tip that clicked for me: start at the bottom right of the mixer interface where it says "Phones" and "Main". This is your pivot point between two completely different mixers. Click back and forth between the two and see how the entire rest of the interface changes to reflect the 2 completely different mixers - one for the phones, and one for the speakers. This simple realization ended hours of frustration trying to figure out why settings weren't doing what I expected them to do. You're welcome! ;-)

Studio One & OBS user here 👋🏾
Just received my Babyface after being a long time apollo twin owner. Im excited for this journey. Thank you for this video!

Once you understand total Mix, you don't want to live without it anymore. That is the magic of RME -driver/software.

Sold my Apogee Symphony mkI years ago have and switch over to the RME. Happy Babyface pro FS and UFX III user here with a Arc Remote.

Thanks for the video. I was hoping that the new USB Apollo for windows would have fixed those issues, but thanks for showing us that that's not the case. I'll probably go with RME. The software just seems confusing.

[Dracomies]

Agree 100%. I literally had the exact same experience. The first was that TotalMix made no sense. And if I had to be honest it still doesn't make sense. But I was able to copy a dashboard from someone and it works. The second thing is that I discovered that all Apollo Twins I bought just weren't compatible with Windows and we have a lot of other people who have issues. If you're a Mac user, Apollo Twins are great. But for Windows, tons of problems. But in the end I found that the audio quality was excellent on the RME so I've had no reason to go for the Twin.

Love RME drivers, getting super low latency on both PC and macs with them, and yes it's a bit pricey but IMO, it's worth it.

[floppydisk]

This is the exact think I tell people when I recommend RME. You just won’t have to deal with driver or compatibility issues

[olleyollet]

Hmm. I wonder if RME or UA will do anything big at NAMM. I have heard incredible things about the preamps in the focusrite rednet x2p as well. It looks like sweetwater and UA are trying to liquidate those apollos too with the microphone included in the mounted apollos.

I don't understand why people find the totalmix mixer so hard to use.
I can explain it in a couple of sentences.
First upper line is hardware input,
Middle line is playback (software audio)
Bottom line is hardware output.


Touch one of the bottom line output faders, it will turn to grey. Now, any fader that is open on the first and secound lines is sent to that output.
That's it :)

Which interface are you using to record this video? Is it just me or does the audio start to get a bit fuzzy/static in the last 20 seconds? Around the 4:14 mark?

[MrAbrantes]

Yes, I've had RME for 5 years and it's very good, but the mixer isn't intuitive at all.

[iamkauzii]

Do you HAVE to use totalmix though? I just need it for my DAW and use my monitors.

[muhammadsarmadhussain]

Are you recording your voice for this video with Babyface Pro FS?

[realbosstakea]

What do you thinks better for vocals? Gonna use mainly autotune and basic stuff but I do want to experiement, doesnt apollo have livetime/realtime effects as you record? or does babyface do that aswell?

[losabour]
