    I am working on a laptop computer and I thought the usb cu would be more suited than 400
    THE PRICE OF NINE IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE RME 400

    Pro connections and manufacturing, the aluminum rack is very good.

    UTILIZATION

    Mac and PC drivers very good, latency OK.

    GETTING STARTED

    Problem-free installation, it works with all software programs (cubase, protools, sonar), the only problem is when you want to switch from mac to pc, you need to look very deeply in the documentation since this card has different drivers.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Very good soundcard, but it's very expensive compared to similar products, it lacks an input limiter, Roland has less expensive and better performing units, like Motu.

    No real MIDI control

    My opinion does not affect the others: the Fireface UC is a great sound card.
    BUT
    It can not be controlled by a MIDI sequencer (DAW) via the same interface Totalmix.
    Let me explain:
    The easiest way to automate the mix in a sequencer way is to assign the MIDI in and out ports to the control surface on one side and the other DAW.
    In a MIDI track DAW, it is possible to record and play back the movements of various buttons and faders on the control surface. Quite simply, without having to program anything. Thereby simply and accurately apply the changes effects, volume, pan, etc.. musical work.
    Yamaha 01V96 does this work perfectly.

    Yamaha 01V96 does this work perfectly.

    However, assigning the MIDI input / output of the Fireface in the DAW, and arming recording, Totalmix does not send MIDI messages: MIDI track remains empty, and the meter of incoming MIDI message remains empty.
    I tried all sorts of configurations, with or without MIDI cables: impossible to pass MIDI messages between Totalmix and DAW.
    RME has come to recognize this lack: Totalmix does not send MIDI data.
    And they do not intend to implement this function.

    Conclusion: RME cards whatsoever are not controllable by MIDI sequencer (DAW).

    UTILIZATION

    RME whatever cards are not controllable by MIDI sequencer (DAW).

    I has a Firewire card before this one, but the preamp and converts the Fireface are much better

    I regret is that I had to take a thought to have a reverb delay chorus and onboard ... well no .. not on this model must Fireface USB FX ... grrrr not cool at all this I got me smoking because the drivers will do well believe you all to download.
