What is your vision of music technology in the future?

[mystdeisanto]

Impressive! RME has all the solution for modern audio production, EXCEPT AVB-AES converter! C'mon RME, you don't want to waste that incredible ADI-2 Pro (or any mastering converter) in AVB environment.

[MurchyMurch]

Awesome news. I've been waiting for more vendors to get into AVB for audio distribution.

[djsykez]

AVB is a impressive / seemless audio transport, As Network audio user myself (dante)iv been waiting for the jump to the wider audio makert for a while, its nice to the see RME aim their sites at music production / studio environments markets, good luck with the roll out guys, who knows maybe those walks to and from the control room to the booth might become longer. long live Cat6

When I finally move into a proper studio it will all be RME for sure! I'm starting with a babyface at the end of the year cause (fingers crossed) I'll be on the road by then

[Unix_Based]

I love your Interfaces and equipment. So easy to work with and run rocksolid. I'm planning to buy one of your smaller interfaces for personal use on my iMac.

[abhisheksrivastava]

Hey RME, No more any ADI Pro FS convertor shootout videos ? 😟

That's most requested one since u compared Hedd and Lavry Gold against it..

Come on, please release some more videos on shootouts. Its been months..

[samuelszabo]

Has the AVB Tool been discontinued? can't seem to find any way to purchase it:/

[TheSeth]

I've been planning to build a new setup from scratch with a Fireface UFX+ at the heart of it but I love the flexibility of AVB and it is clearly the future. I see in the video that you're combining these by using both a UFX+ and an M1610 Pro. Isn't that kind of redundant since they have a lot of overlapping I/O? It's basically a very expensive AVB-to-MADI converter when used like that, unless you really need all of the I/O on both boxes. Or am I missing something? I'm also unclear on how the preamps and other components compare between these AVB devices (e.g. AVB Tool and 12mic) compared to the UFX+, Micstasy, and some of your other devices. If my goal is best possible sound quality, should I go with the setup in the video or wait for higher end AVB devices? Is there a Fireface AVB in the works? The website would really benefit a lot from more thoroughly explained distinctions between the product lines and maybe a wizard for choosing what you need, since there are a lot of products to look at individually.

I don’t need outputs on my sources. What I need ADC only with clock control so I can build a star network in my space but I have lot of analog gear that is mostly outputs as they are about 100 channels of audio outs from the keyboards. Some inputs are nice for the analog FX but that is like one box 16 in and out. My problem is it seems the manufactures make us pay for things we don’t need like all those extra outputs that I don’t need. Are there any input only setups?

[romichjordan]

is it ok to put 3 devices in rack without any of air vent spaces? thanks

[eduardlerner]

Did I get this right? You connect the Digiface AVB via USB to the iMac and then the M-1610 Pro to the Digiface AVB. Then you connected the M-1610 Pro Via Ethernet to the AVB Switch...? - Which Switch did you use? I have heard that you cannot use Standard Ethernet Switches but need specific ones... Thank you very much !

[megyalilaballad]

Marc: how did you connect that Elysia Qube to the 12Mic at 2:30 when there are no XLR/ line outputs…?

I want to incorporate outboard analogue gear into my signal chain to edit the parameters on the fly through my DAW, instead of burning onto the original recorded track, but the 12Mic has no analogue output sends nor returns.

How can I do this?

[samye]

do i have to use a digiface avb to utilize the m1610 pro and avb tool together？ I dont always need to use total mix，and at the moment its difficult to get a digiface network interface（both dante and avb is low on stock.）

[ashishmalaviya]

Hello could you help me understand why I am not able to use RME DIGIFACE AVB with VENUE S6L for recording/playback purpose and why I am being forced to purchase mac 💻 system to the same?

[petehatch]

Hi, what’s the name of that beautiful studio desk shown in the thumbnail and intro? Thank you!

[seanrichards]

This feels 4 years too late to be of much use. I tried to get AVB to be cross platform ages ago and zero companies were fully compliant with the platform and everyone refused to build systems that were able to work with each other. Even if you are truly compliant, AVB is now outdated and outmaneuvered by other protocols simply because it was slow to develop. Where were you 4 years ago when I needed you??

[Falcowe]

What network switch are you using in this setup? I know there are a few lists out there for 802.11ba switches (correct me if I have the wrong standard for AVB) but they feel a bit out of date. And in researching the AVB products from RME they seem awesome but I’m concerned about expanding since it’s not clear what defines a compatible switch. Do switches need to specifically support AVB (and/or 802.11ba) or will any switch work if it has definable QoS? Looking forward to the day when I buy an AVB RME unit! Just waiting to actually have a need for it.

[Bobby_Uterus]

how is this different than a Midas M32c and stage boxes?

[micbutterfield]

Are you going to develop a USB audio interface with AVB? Going from the 12-Mic to the M-1610 to the Fireface UFX+ is over complicated and costly in comparison to the Focusrite Rednet or Motu AVB.
