Hi! Depicting vinyl turntable as a line audio source is misleading (it needs phono-corrected preamps)
Anyway great video

[DP-dtov]

You produce some of the most useful and informative videos about recording and recording gear that I have ever seen. I really appreciate the work you put into these videos. Thank you!!!!

Hi Audio University.I will have to watch this a few times.Thanks for all your expert tutorials.

It truly hurts my soul that 90% of this video was about ADAT and MADI.
Audio over IP should have superseded them years ago, but because all the major companies have decided to build their own proprietary silos we’re left with an un-cohesive mess…
Dante is amazing, but it’s absurdly expensive, and impossible to build your own devices that implement it…

Been waiting for a video like this for quite a while

I expand my interface capabilities through using a mixer with it - works great

[mattwhite]

Thank you for giving us the bottom line up front! You started the video by telling us exactly what the conclusion of your video is: you can likely expand your existing audio interface without buying a big ass interface. I’m interested in that, so I stayed.

Nice Video! Well explained. I currectly use RME MADI FX Rev2 + 2x Ferrofish A32Pro for a total of 48ch @ 192KHz😃👍

My best trick for getting value for money is to buy used firewire interfaces, like liquid 56, and just buy a pci card for a few dollars. I don't know how they compare to new interfaces when it comes to latency and bitrate, but you get more inputs than you'll ever use for the same price as a new 2 input focusrite interface.. And you can buy a octopre for the same low amount of cash, and double your inputs.. I had to get rid of mine, as I was spending more time with cables and adat related stuff, and less time making music. Also, I will never need 16 (or was it 32?) inputs for anything

Hi, special thanks for the idea with the digiface usb as a switching device. Did you set up three different snapshots on the digiface totalmix and get from there into the Fireface? If you want to do some short practise content - stuff like this would be great!

[liseeistrupschrder]

Thank`s for a great tutorial. What Kind of DAW do you have yourselfe?

[ITSYABOYDONTE]

I to use a UCX II and I have the Cranborn 500adat using up my adat ports. So I was curious how I could expand my I/O. Ive been wondering if I could use a Digiface to do so and you just confirmed it. Id be curious to see how you use it as a switcher. Other ideas I had was asking Cranborn if two 500adats could be chained together and Ive also been looking at arturias new expanders but the conversion in those wouldn't be as high as the Cranborn or the RME. I also have my UCX connected to an ADI 2 Pro fs r through AES and the Adat ports on it are free but I don't think I can use them for anything in this situation, I wish that it was integrated to work with totalmix, that would solve a lot but in the mean time ill keep exploring my options. Thank you for the content and information.

Hi and, Thanks for all great videos, I recently bought a RME babyface Pro FS as the beginings of my home studio. Now I'm looking to expand it with an adat preamp for more I.O. I can't afford the RME Octa Mic II, but I can afford the Clarett Octopre +. Is there really a $1, 200 differance quality? And is the steady clock that importent if the babyface is the master?

[Time-Trvlr]

Is Latency a measurable issue when interfacing so many IO channels.

[Rezonxte]

Hey, I am new to music stuff. Does the MIDI keyboard, Example: (Arturia Minilab 3) works better with an Audio interface? (Arturia Minifuse 1) I am planning to buy these but I am not sure if I need an Audio interface to record the tracks and post it to YT or something else.

[btsndcts]

I have been using adat to expand my interface for more line inputs and it amazes me how it work still.
If anyone who works in the industry make a pure adat interface so we can split the signal between an audio interface and an extension audio input so we can just keep adding more.

How get audio to practice mix and master on it what's website

Love From India Can you Explain on ethernet cables shielded unshielded differences between where to use why to use In Live Sound.
Thank you

if you ever wondered if rme is any good... it is

Awesome video! What's a good interface for live streaming? I feel like my Focusrite starts to show red (peaking) to soon, so i'm scared to push it that high.
