RME Audio Hammerfall DSP HDSP 9632

I can't say that I've been much more pleased with any piece of gear I have ever bought. It does exactly what they say it will. It sounds great, and is incredibly stable. In fact, this audio card alone is a major reason why I am going to stay with the PC platform for a while longer.

Price paid

$900

UTILIZATION

No hassles.

GETTING STARTED

I've used it with it's pcmica host card at gigs. I use it at home in the studio. It made of metal. I fly with it all the time. Customer service is awesome even though they are all the way over in Germany. I tend to get a response via email in less than 6 hours. Oh, and their techs know what is up.

OVERALL OPINION

I like it so much I'm probably going to get an digiface to turn my laptop into a reaktor beast. I trust the reliability of this card as much as the audio outs on my hardware synths. It's just solid.

This is a first view, I have the card for 2 days!

Unlike the plug tecnique and news (I did, the card possde
converters 192 KHz. It has very intrt, but it says!

I bought it because it complte silent rev: noon numrique, analog headphone output. But also because I trust RME for the quality and the updating of drivers (which are many: GSIF, even, ASIO2, linux, mac etc ...). In addition to the external conexion, there are internal connections to daughterboards and numriques devices, which can make the map vritable the center of the studio (with the options, no microphones to record 10 basis points at the same time eg a battery).

my config: Pentium 3 1GHz, 384 MB ram, abit VH6 cm-2 with VIA chipset (!), DD IBM GXP 75, win XP.

note:
it has no drivers for Win 98
it possde 2 bios, so a rat does not prevent the flash card to work!
I bought the option in / out symtrique. It rated 45 euros (!), But is INTERESTED:
cool edit brings me a noise level of-96dB and -71 with optional cable with the standard.
which proves that disturbs many PC audio and should therefore invest in this option, as symtrique, cancels the noise. To buy it!

UTILIZATION

Install in 2 minutes flat
no incompatibility for now
the config is easy in the sense that it was the sound right away.
APRS, there must be some options for connatre advances, all fawn,
only serve that those who know
TotalMix software comes with and can do everything: for example
to a between the output of their choice, even see several. Trs flexible!

single bp at home: the TotalMix mute buttons do not work all the time ...
but it may be my fault, the software as quite complicated.

on the other hand, there is a measurement software at RME: DIGICheck. You can see prcisment particular phase, levels, etc ... hardware and while I think.

the manual is not a (one page), but everything is on the CD. Rigolotte thing: the CD is burned!
a can be scary, but apparently RME puts its money into its products more than in the packaging.

GETTING STARTED

For now everything works perfectly with cubase sx and CoolEdit Pro 2.
with my small computer and a single session trs, latency
minimum (1.5ms) produces no clicks!
I test (for now) only with a Stereo track and read a VSTi in real time.

TotalMix of the knobs are "soft": no cracking when they are falling or rising. like a real table!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 days
I Think I Love ... sound and simplicity (everything works for now.) MIDI is handy too.
regarding the sound, I cost a CD by the sound card and the same CD on a CD player Luxman (old but not bad I think) things that are not intended to stand with the EMR. DEFINITIONS more so. Trs good point!
I did do the same blind test that I know nothing mre and it prfr RME!

I had the 96 / 8 Pad RME before, so I do not hsit to buy the 9632!

qualitprix excellent report.
I Reposte a new notice if I have a problem!



Following qqes mails reus, I Reposte qqes symtrique lines on the option:

option allows for input and output symtriques, of the same
a better connection for the headset cable.
Break Out Cable is a (set of son that plugs
thanks to the sound card such a big catch DB25) DIFFERENT from that
supplied as standard.
plain this BOcable option allows for a connection on symtrique
all:
digital and analog.

if a / symtrique means nothing to you (I do not know the state of your
knowledge) is a fawn to carry the audio signal.
Basically, in symtrique the interference, are rejected, so the cable
can be longer. It's better for us to avoid the missions
Electrostatic PC can be found in the sound!

This option is sold everywhere I think.
In-gear www.musicians
(Which made me wait a month between order and delivery - I know is not right to dnoncer)
The option costs 46 euros

Before I had a DIGI 001 but hey, the G 5 and OSX arrived ....
I tried on a G5 Dual 2 GB without Pro Problem
I have a G4 1.5 Bipro
Compatibility: Gnial
I use it with an Alesis AI 3 and Logic
In analog out if
8-track ADAT in out or SPDIF
In SPDIF out numrique
In out noon
Doc and G5 compatible, multi-client

UTILIZATION

Plug it, it puts the drivers and roll ....
The manual is well done, but good PC for the instruction which peurt need are ...
(9 is the manual for mac)

GETTING STARTED

Multi-client drivers
Stable and well attended
very low latency ...
I never recorded more than 6 tracks simultaneously, but I do not see why I could not do more ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have this card from one month
Tip Top is like for the AI3,
10 tracks in 24-bit ES 1000 Euros ....
And sound ........
And then the box is a toy rather think a sound card ....
