Published on 09/29/12 at 06:23I opted for the FF800 first for the number of converters RME board and for the fact that it corresponded exactly to my needs.
I use it for the tracking, mix, and everything that has to do with! It is planted in a Mac Pro 4 x 2.66Ghz, 8GB ram, all under OS 10.6.
I have a preamp / compressor AU 6176, RME convertos for him doing a very good job, nothing to say. Ditto on listening, listen with accurate (I tested on Adams, Yamaha, AKG headphones, Beyer, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser ..) it is in a category of material that the user enter in the world professional with a depth and precision that makes this tool very seriously.
UTILIZATION
The drivers are stable, the soft routing "-fireface mixer" is against confusing!
Protools, I get a huge lag, it is rather boring. I have tried in cubase.
GETTING STARTED
I have not regretted Mac instalation problems, however I tried a PC, the executable will not even launch, so a PC, I do not know ...
Aside from the fact that it is necessary to wash the brain before using the fireface-mixer and sharpen the eyes, it is a tool that can take over quickly if we already have serious notions of computer music, without it I do not see how a nobody can grasp the intricacies of routing in this gas. The manual is clear, but expect a good training day to run the beast.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for more than a year, and it is not obsolete in my config, again, this is a multiple inverter that can operate in stand alone for a ridiculous price, considering the number of channels conversion. Which converts an adi 8 8-channel AD / DA (ie 8 x 8 AD DA) costs € 1,300, the FF800 for the same price offers 10 concurrent AD and 10 AD (via ADAT and S / PDIF suddenly).
Unbeatable value for money, of course, given the conversion quality, stability and reliability of the clock.
I've never had artifacts with this interface, which was not the case presonus or alesis I had before.
Again this choice? Of course yes!
