I'm using the A32pro along with my RME UFX3. Both great units, and the A32pro is super simple to integrate. Great video!

Hi Greg, I'm considering this setup as well but wondering how the conversion quality compares between RME and A32. Which conversion do you prefer first?

@GregWatkins_official 5 ай бұрын

@@tomrogers2790 I’m not an expert on conversion, lol. I chose the UFX3 as my main interface because of the Madi and ADAT flexibility, as well as the reputable AD/DA conversion. I then chose the A32pro for the compatibility to the RME (both are owned by same company). So the A32 handles the conversion for all external I/O. I takes a while to grasp or understand RME’s Total Mix software, but once yo do…it’s awesome. Plus with this setup, there’s no need for external patchbays, since Total Mix handles both the RME and Ferrofish routing. Hope this was helpful.

@@tomrogers2790 I have the same exact setup I am using a RME UFX III and a new black face Ferrofish A32pro that I took nearly 10 + months deciding to buy or not. So far I am very happy. I did consider the Antelope Galaxy series but I read many reviews that were very negative on the company and I wanted something very solid so I went with the RME UFX III and the Ferrofish A32pro. I may not be correct about the Antelope but I had to come to some conclusion and the Antelope reviews I read were not good. RME has a record for being rock solid according to what I researched.

XLRs go to stage boxes, 1/4 go to DI boxes then stage boxes. This is standard for commercial studios using outboard preamps / equipment with patch bays.

are you familiar with dante? What are your thoughts on that? when ill start a studio, i'll probably get a pure dante interface with 128 or 256 dante IO, skip the patchbay and just go with dante converters (or dante cards in case of something like the neve 1073opx). If i'd have multiple rooms, i'd only have to connect them via ethernet cables - plus doing live stuff would be viable

What dual keyboard stand is that @ 0:10 ? Also, does the ADAT add any latency beyond what the Galaxy interface has?

Will the latency be the same at 32 channel input recording? I mean that's the real test. And to be able to provide latency free headphone signals.

Yep no latency issues, automatic delay compensation on hardware inserts and direct monitoring via galaxy.

@gtk_NO 5 ай бұрын

@@itsstudiotime What would the benefits/differences be with connecting the Galaxy via a HDX card vs Thunderbolt? Wouldn't the usage of the Ferrofish channels as Pro Tools hardware inserts have a different sample delay because of MADI and perhaps a different internal sample delay on the Ferrofish compared to the Galaxy channels? Is the compensation for both the internal Galaxy channels and the Ferrofish added channels handled transparently in the background or differ with or without the use of a HDX card? I wonder about the same thing if you add any ADAT expander to any interface, how does the main interface know the specific internal sample delay any random ADAT expander has?

@braxal6983 5 ай бұрын

I am curious why you need to hook up the BNC cable? When I hook up my Ferrofish A32pro using the Madi cable to the RME UFX III it syncs up no problem.

@braxal6983 5 ай бұрын

Ok, I think I found the answer to why Andrew is using the BNC cable because the Antelope does not provide the clocking information in the Madi cable the RME UFX III does so RME interfaces with Madi do not need the BNC cable where as the Antelope does. You can use a BNC cable to with the RME but it is not needed for Madi.

Andrew! Curious as to how you’re routing those remote computer setups from the drum room to the control room. You mentioned Ethernet, but is there a software aspect/anything additional involved to get it setup? I’ve never heard of a mouse/keyboard with anything other than USB ports (which I know can be limited in terms of how long those cables can run). Thanks!

A32 pro👍. One correction for you. The A32 is not an audio interface. It cannot be used standalone. It requires an interface such as your galaxy or a device such as the rme madface usb.
