I hope that Bitwig Connect 4/12 will be a big, phat success and that they will introduce something like a Bitwig Connect 32/32 in either 19" or desktop form factor for me to eventually replace my beloved RME Fireface UFX in a couple of years. #linuxaudio #bitwig #usb #classcompliant #rme #audiointerface #cv #midi

I'd really like to know what is the exact difference between current #AllenHeath preamps and AD converts such as those in the #AllenHeathCQ or #AllenHeathSQ series… and standard #RME gear such as the old and new #Fireface series.

Why? Because the CQ12t is a lot more convenient to use for me than my old Fireface 400. Yet the Fireface's two mic inputs seem to be the best preamps I own.

Ich verkabele mein Einraumstudio teilweise neu, dazu lautstark #Faithless.

Erstaunlich ist auch immer wieder #MIDI. Alle Musik-Geräte können hier zumindest rudimentär miteinander sprechen. Auch die, die 1984 auf den Markt kamen sprechen mit dem aktuellen Linux-PC.

Mischpulte? Was weiß ich als Profi über Mischpulte? Was sage ich Ratsuchenden immer zu Mischpulten?

Richtig: Ein Mischpult kann eigentlich nie groß genug sein.

4 hochwertige Mic-Inputs (#RME Preamp/Wandler) sind noch frei. 22 weitere Kanäle sind voll auf dem #Yamaha #01V96i. Noch 6 weitere Kanäle sind Returns aus dem Rechner. Die vier internen Effektmaschinen haben 4 weitere Stereokanäle in Beschlag.

Any #fedihelp on this very old #RME #Digi9652 #Soundcard with #Linux?

I'm trying to get the SPDIF input to work.

So the RME card is clock master, distributing clock via Word Clock. It is hooked up via 3x ADAT I/O + Word Clock to a #Yamaha #01v96i.

Now I connected the SPDIF output of the 01V96i via a proper cable directly to the SPDIF input of the RME card (on its breakout cable). In theory, SPDIF signal should now appear on channels 25 and 26. But nothing ever happens. (Input channels 1-24 work without any issue via ADAT.)

Any ideas?

Perhaps @PaulDavisTheFirst remembers something about this very old card, is there something peculiar?

I notice the PSDIF sample rate sliders in #alsamixer which I can't move.

/proc/asound/R15/rme9652 see https://pastebin.com/1DywMFDd – says “IEC958 sample rate: undetermined”?

Or is my card broken even? I checked the output of the console with a Behringer SRC2496, it delivers correctly.

People get ready, there's a recording that's a-coming…

… this is gonna run #Harrison #Mixbus in a minute.

(The music nerds spending their Sunday.)

Maybe a RME Digiface USB would be an option to use for rehearsal room recordings so that I can keep the Babyface at home. It is supported now since kernel 6.12: https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?id=40531

It also offers the possibility to connect up to 4 8-channel ADAT units. That should be more than enough IO for a 5-piece band.

@nielso @patricklang I use a #rme #fireface UFX with an ADI-8 DS MkIII connected via #adat and can use 18 input channels with #pipewire. I have heard that other people have problems with RME on #linux, but for me it works like a charm.

Blissful moments working on the computer in the #studio, listening to my favorite tracks of 2024 through my #linuxaudio #workstation via the still amazing #rme #fireface UFX converter, my #lakepeople G100 #headphoneamp and ATH-R70x #headphones from #audiotechnica.
