RME ADI-2 Series Remote Software Tutorial (Mac/Windows)

[@rodpinfold8824]

Years later It just gets better, thanks RME, the company that cares and just keeps giving.😊😊😊😊😊

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Yeah so many new features have been added to the ADI-2s since they originally came out - this one is the best of the bunch!

[@pkd.81]

ADI-2 Remote v2.0 just dropped. Thanks for this video, useful and done very well.

[@RJasonKlein]

Really helpful overview and walkthrough - RME is a pretty remarkable company.

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Glad you found it useful! It's great to be able to get more hands-on with the powerful features of the ADI-2!

[@SimonP2]

I'm a new ADI-2 owner and loving the Remote interface but I learned a few new things from your video so thanks. I need EQ and was concerned that setting it up with the buttons would take forever but the Remote program makes it so easy. This is a wonderful device, both software and hardware are first class and it sounds amazing, my end-game for sure.

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Thanks for commenting and glad you found the video helpful. I agree that EQing via the front panel is a bit fiddly - this software controller is an absolute game changer!

[@johntaylor3448]

Love that app - EQing my various headphones is so much easier. Thank you RME!

[@gam3955]

Thanks, great introduction. Beautiful and useful device. Love it

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

It's a serious gamechanger for ADI-2 users!

[@thomaskirst9095]

Very helpful - Thanks Synthax! Eager to run through the setup today. So happy with my ADI-2 DAC purchase....

[@hernancarrizo158]

Spectacular software, adds a lot of value to an already beautifull device!

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

We think so too! Thanks for watching!

[@mrood799]

this app has changed the way I use my device, I use it way more often now, and its so much easier than the actual buttons on the device which at times gets very confusing.

[@BenKrisfield]

I just got the UCX 2. Been thinking about the DAC fs as a good addition for critical listening.

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Yep you got it, combining the two gives you the best of both worlds - RME Babyface or Fireface for general recording and mixing, ADI-2 for 'hyperreal / microscopic' analysis 👍

[@BenKrisfield]

@@SynthaxAudioUK Cool, thanks. Using Adam Audio monitors. RME + AA make a great pair. Totally recommend to anyone.

[@Alexander-zs5rj]

Nice Work RME 👏🏻

[@ixoye56]

Superb software, thank you RME 👍

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

Great software. I wonder if in a later update RME could add hotkey support for volume controls, mute & dim. I have a digital volume controller that I use w/ Roon - DSP vol and would love to be able to have volume control direct to the dac.

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

Very Nice, RME! However, could we please get some sort of mic package for analyzing Room Modes to adjust automatically within RME custom made device/software?

[@meshplates]

Look at the miniDSP SHD model which had exactly what you're looking for plus dirac.

[@anacap007]

I think to make this piece of software complete is to allow driver and firmware updates directly from this remote.

[@luca_rr4660]

Can a too loud 13kHz-15kHz frequency of speakers be corrected with the EQ? I see the last knob only goes to 6500Hz? Thank you. Great video! Edit: Another question, is audio send to the balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA simultaneously? Just wondering because it would be easy to connect the speakers to the XLR and a subwoofer to the RCA. Thanks.

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Hi, all of the 5 main EQ bands (labelled 1 to 5) can go from 20 Hz - 20 kHz. The two other bands (bass and treble) are shelf EQs and meant more for instant bass or treble boosts, like on old hifi amps where you have the "Loudness" button (which essentially would scoop the mids). For your second question it depends which you mean as there is slight differences between the three current models - on the ADI-2 DAC FS yes the analogue outs are mirrored (with the unbalanced RCA 6dB lower than the balanced XLR outs). On the ADI-2 Pro FS R and ADI-2/4 Pro SE models, I believe these outputs have independent level controls.

[@todoya123]

Hello, I just bought an Adi-2/4 Pro Se, and there is a problem that has been bothering me. I cannot connect the Adi-2 remote to my Adi-2/4 Pro Se via USB. I am using an iMac Pro (2017) computer. Digicheck NG and the audio device input and output can recognize the Di-2/4 Pro Se device, but the Adi-2 remote keeps showing disconnected. The iPad is also unrecognizable. How can I connect and use it correctly? I have been looking for relevant information for a long time, but there is no tutorial on how to connect. I hope to get a detailed instruction video or text operation guide. Thank you very much!

[@stephencosta6814]

Wow simple fantastic

[@elijahmant2855]

Hi. I can't get this ADI Remote to work. I get an message, Saying : Make sure I have the latest firmware and drivers. Which I have. Also, in my DAW. It all works fine, but To adjust the Sample Rate is not possible. It is Greyed out. in the computer. Also greyed out on the ADI-2 unit? One more thing. Digicheck doesn't work either?

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Hi there, which device from the ADI-2 series are you using?

[@elijahmant2855]

Hi. Not sure what you mean? I am using the ADI-2 Pro fsr Black Edition on it's own. Lets say as the Audio Interface. If this is what you mean.@@SynthaxAudioUK

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Just wanted to check you had a device that the remote works with (the ADI-2 has been around for a long time and some of the older versions aren't compatible) - yours is all fine. Sounds like a problem that might need looking into a bit more than we can offer via a KZbin comment though. If you're based in the UK, feel free to send us a support request and one of our team will try and help: www.synthax.co.uk/support

[@elijahmant2855]

Ok. Thanks for replying and showing interest an concern.@@SynthaxAudioUK

[@wendellgayheart9228]

Why will this not work with my older iPad…would a newer iPad work for me

[@punkish7]

I am unable to find a download for the software you are using. All I find is firmware, or a pay store link that is for iPad only. What am I missing here? Thanks

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Here's some direct links to the software: Mac: www.rme-audio.de/downloads/adi2remote_mac.zip Windows: www.rme-audio.de/downloads/adi2remote_win.zip

[@punkish7]

@@SynthaxAudioUK thank you! What a great piece of software! So much nicer for creating and naming EQ profiles.

[@Sonic-Rusty]

I find the website for downloaidng the software very confusing with how it's setup.

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Hi there, hope you found the correct link! If not, you can find them here: Mac OS: www.rme-audio.de/downloads/adi2remote_mac.zip WIndows: www.rme-audio.de/downloads/adi2remote_win.zip

[@Sonic-Rusty]

​@@SynthaxAudioUK I did, THANK YOU! I was confused by the "Product or Software" drop down boxes. I LOVE the software - it's a game changer!

[@hallowedsound]

Is the remote compatible with the ADI-2 Anniversary Edition?

[@AshishPatel-yq4xc]

Mine does Not connect. The app runs, Adi2-dac-fs plays music over USB but the remote App does not connect. I have the latest firmware. What is wrong ?

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Hi maybe check you have the MIDI control set to on, see the top of p4 under the Connection heading: rme-audio.de/downloads/adi2remote_e.pdf#page=4

[@martinpaling1989]

Great app. It is a pity that USB output has to be activated manually because it is not triggered using the AUTO setting.

[@dazeja]

I'm assuming you have to have your USB connected to your computer for all of this to work. since my ADi-2 isn't my main interface I don't use the USB connection, when I do it screws up all my configurations with my interface and converters.

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Hi, yes you need the USB connection to for the remote control to work (send/receive control data), however you should be able to use it fine with another interface or sound card (provided your interface has an SPDIF, ADAT or AES-3 output). Just run the ADI-2 DAC with your interface via TOSLINK (or SPDIF coaxial, or AES-3), with the ADI-2 connected via USB just for the software control. Then select your interface as your sound card as normal, and route audio out to the ADI-2 via the digital connection you've chosen to use. We have a video on hooking up the ADI-2 with an interface here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKqym6GMbryegck

[@S7V7N_SEAS]

I run into this same issue. I have an ADI-2 pro FS r black edition and my UFX iii and usually have to disconnect the usb but I’m going to give it a shot and see if I can get everything working. I have the ARC USB remote and it would be great if I could control both devices with just the ARC. Maybe in the future they could add it as a firmware update. Thanks 🙏 again for this video

[@dazeja]

@@S7V7N_SEAS he was right, i finally got mine to work. make sure your ADI-2 pro is in AD/DA mode sometimes if you connect the USB it will go into USB mode. if it's not your main interface ( your case and mine) you do not want the basic mode to be in USB. Also AUTO mode can cause some problems also depending on what is connected to the ADI. As for the ARC, it won't control the ADI-2 because the adi -2 is not support by TotalMIX. I'm not sure why they did this but it isn't.

[@S7V7N_SEAS]

@@dazeja I appreciate the reply. I'll give it a try once I setup my studio again. I'm in the process of moving. Thanks

[@mrood799]

hi, is there any tutorial on things like, need a certain firmware, well I dont know what my firmware is on my ADI-2 DAC fs, so that needed, then there somthing on about flashing the DAC then installing the actual remote software so I can control the DAC from my PC, but I can find any tutorials on how to do this, regards

[@SynthaxAudioUK]

Hi sure, RME have a video on that here; How to update the ADI-2 DAC Firmware kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKWoeWtpp8iEbrM

[@horstsauer9089]

Look into the manual for this ADI-2 Remote software, it explains requirements and process. Link above.
