RME software support and hardware reliability is incredible. I own an original Fireface 800 from 15 years ago and it still works with my new M1 Mac.

You definitely should do a tutorial of total mix, regardless of if your audience needs it or not. The world needs it.😉

I’ve been using the RME Fireface 800 for 12 years, but still dread making changes in TotalMix. So YES to a tutorial!

RME UFX III is the best investment I have ever made in my studio. I'm running Sequoia on a purpose build PC with Windows 11 and it is rock solid and sounds amazing.

+1 on RME. I have a 12 year old UCX, used it with a Windows laptop, now with an M1 Mac, still supported, still super solid. TotalMix is great to have.

what people don't realise about RME that no other manufacturer does is they use FPGA chips. Reprogrammable, so regardless of what happens to the usb standard, or computer OS, they can adapt with a firmware update. this is why they last decades, no other manufacturer has this control, they are beholden to the 3rd party usb controllers and other hardware in their products they have no control over.
its just the icing on the cake that their converters are pretty good too.

Yes we totally need good total mix tutorial

For what it's worth - I really like the idea of answering a question per video especially in longer form. As an engineer who's always learning, 30 second answers hidden in the middle of 15 minute Q A videos makes me feel like I'm not really getting the answer I'm looking for... Also sometimes annoyed in trying to find them. You rock dude

I've been using RME interfaces since 2004. And while everyone was complaining about bad latency and crashes with other interfaces, I've been enjoying rock solid performance all these years.

RME since 5 years, not a single moment of issues, absolutely solid

[MaciejCzub]

I have been using RME equipment for more than a decade and everything works absolutely perfectly. The best audio equipment I know. A course on Totalmix is a great idea. If you somehow manage to solve the latency problem in the Reaper then be sure to do an episode on that topic.

Went with rme because of their rock solid hardware and driver reputation, and so happy they have bought the M-1620 out. Huge price tag but 0 regrets!

PS total mix is confusing, but only because it can do anything

Hello!
I own the BabyFace Pro FS released in 2019, there are regular updates, without me encountering any particular problems by the way, it is excellent, the sound quality especially of the headphone amps are the same as on the ADI-2 Pro, it is easily transportable, resistant. RME listens to users to improve their products and they are serious, it's important not to buy "a new problem to solve" but rather something reliable, we need it in terms of musical creations.
I take this opportunity to give a nod to the Olympics taking place in France and my broken English!
best !

RME are amazing. Your setup is insane brother. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Long time user and big time RME fan boy. If youre struggling with Total Mix i highly recommend Barry John’s tutorial videos over at his channel.

Also i dig this type of video. Great job.

[delorusclaiborne]

I also have had rme for 3-4yrs now and reliability for me is such peace of mind 🍻

[daftdj]

I also quit MOTU for the exact same reasons as you and I also went for the HDSPe MADI FX but with Ferrofish converters. I've to say I've very glad I went this way thanks to you ! 🤩

[Frankie_G_]

Another yes please for a total mix tutorial, thanks.

[MSByfield]

YES mate! I think your style of delivery would make a fantastic TM video. Even experienced users can benefit from a proper deep dive into TM.

Bought the ADI-2 Pro FS R because of your video from 2 years ago. Coming from the Motu 828es it mad a HUGE difference. It opened up my speakers and i heard every sound much clearer with great detail and placement in the room... fantastic and worth every cent. But that box gets really really hot

[zackorr]

+1 for Totalmix tutorial. I don't love the "Snake oil" style videos.... but I like the more mello vibe of this format.
