RME Essentials: Babyface Pro FS

[@junosensis]

I own a Multiface since nearly 20y now... never had a issue, still runing great ! But Babyface is on my wishlist for my mobile recording set... cant' wait to have one ... Thanks for your great products guys !

[@abracadabra1550]

Hi guys 😊 Bought a BF PRO FS a short while ago and want to tell you how happy I am with it. Made a world of difference both on recording quality, but most of all the playback options in total mix fx are amazing. Easy to dial in so that i can hear my own vocals loud and clear while recording and it has made a world of difference in the recorded performance! Keep up the good work. Best from Norway 😎 👌

[@JPDC624]

My Pro FS just arrived TODAY, perfect timing! I've had the former model for a year, amazing interface.

[@demon-ll9eg]

can u please share ur setting

[@spiritphingaz_]

The routing capability is amazing; being able to record a dry and EQed signal to different channels in your DAW with same take.

[@tylerwmbass]

RME's commitment to quality extends even to Adrian's hair. Picking up a Babyface Pro FS for mobile stuff w/ my iPad - use the UCX II at home and couldn't be happier.

[@RMEAudio]

Haha, thank you! Adrian

With doing my own research and recommendation from my Sweetwater Rep and this in depth review.. Babyface Pro, just shot up on Top of my List..

Great tutorial! I got the this unit 3 months ago and I'm not looking back!

[@RMEAudio]

Great!

I replaced my Apogee Symphony with the Babyface Pro FS and it is running solidly on Windows 10.

[@RMEAudio]

Great!

[@Fraeg]

good to hear, looking to upgrade and am in a windows environment. The UA and Apogee are looking like non starters for the PC world. So thanks! I am leaning towards RME in a big way

[@danielvelaaranda8490]

Hey! And what about sound? Any differences?

[@chloehananalfayed]

I am buying RME from Sweetwater and it is on the way and can you make video how to use Babyface for Wire-cast / Telestream for Streaming to get started using Babyface from start to finish… Thank You.

[@MrSRellz]

Thanks for the video and the tips. I have a question. I have the MADIface Pro, with a microphone connected to Analog input 1 and I have a sampler connected to line inputs 3/4. If I want to connect a Moog synth to Analog input 2, what would be the best way? Read the manual. TS to XLR cable with pin 3 grounded and input gain to 0 dB. Thanks again

Great video!! The BabyfacePro FS can be used as standalone mixer to record via Mic and preamp and connected to a host interface via ADAT out?

[@davidfabien7220]

I own the original RME ADI-2 which is amazing. Is there a big difference between the ADI-2 and the ADI-2 FS? In other words is it necessary to upgrade? Thanks very much.

[@stephenbutler7047]

Digicheck! Yes please. I notice, in your earlier video on the subject, that the Digicheck launch icon appeared within TotalMix FX. How do you do that (on a PC)? Can it be linked/integrated into TM FX? Thanks.

Thanks for a great video! 👍Question: Can you plug external mic pre's in the unbalanced inputs next to the headphone outs to get a total of 4 recording mics simultanously (without using the adat/spdif)? Best from Norway 😊

[@RMEAudio]

Yes, that is possible. It are also normal line inputs.

Hi, how does this interface perform with cans like sennheiser hd 650? Is there enough power to drive them? I have a scarlett 2i2 and they sound really bad.

[@creatingspacesproducer]

Hey, I read somewhere that you can play 2 soundsources at once on the babyface? I would use Ableton for livesets and play a loop on an audio player on my mac, in case Ableton crashes that i have the loop as backup, how could I do this?

[@RudyNicoletti]

Very nice and useful webinar

[@avanti6058]

I'm thinking of buying a babyface to replace my old FF800 but I still need those extra I/Os. I wonder if I can connect the FF800 as a slave to use those I/O but I can't use the firewire connection anymore, it has to be with adat.

[@RMEAudio]

You have to configure the Fireface 800 as an AD/DA converter. Route analogue inputs to ADAT outputs and ADAT inputs to the analogue outputs. The unit saves its settings. You can use the Fireface 800 with Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.

[@AdamsBrew78]

Just purchased BF PRO FS to use with my new M1 Pro MBP and I’m very curious about optimal USB connection, especially considering the laptop only has two USB-C/Thunderbolt connections, with independent TB controllers. Do I need to have the audio interface plugged directly into laptop for optimal latency/performance, or will it work just as well through a hub, shared by other USB midi controllers and devices? I’m currently using a USB-C to USB-A Hub , where I have 7 USB controllers, including Mouse/KB .. And the other thunderbolt port is directly connected to a TB hard drive. I’m thinking my best bet is to probably get a 4 port thunderbolt hub and just run the USB-A hub and hard drive off of it, and dedicate the Babyface to the other thunderbolt port.

[@creatingspacesproducer]

I always use direct on the interface to have the least kind of interference

[@OfficerGaydept]

The Gaybyface Pro is one of the most essential audio interfaces, ueard?

[@Pissarrio]

Please help me out here! Is it possible to use The RME Babyface pro to this set up: Playdifferently model 1 mixer, 2x tractor D2, 1 Allen&Heath K2, Ableton live and tractor 3 pro? Best regards Anders Nice video BTW!

[@RMEAudio]

Depends on how many channels you want to record/send to the mixer. But generally, yes!

[@Therapyxx]

Hello RME Team, could you please advise me what should I do? Given: Mic via XLR in AN1/2 input and Electric guitar via 6.3mm cable in AN 3/4 Input (instrumental). The problem is that I can use only one Input channel for programms like skype, discord etc. but I want to make some online lessons with my teacher, where I will able to speak AND playing the guitar at the same time. Is it possibe to mix those channels into one i.e. virtual imput channel and select it in any programm on pc? Or the only one option is to connect my mic to AN1 and guitar also via XLR to AN2? (but I've heared that its bad idea)

[@RMEAudio]

You can use the loopback function of TotalMix FX to mix and route your mic and guitar to an input channel. If your work on Mac you have to use a littlt work around, because on Mac there is a problem with streaming software inputs. Please watch our videos about loopback. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYWnpKKsg5mnpsU kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqHXaH-Zr8p0rLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6HMk6ewl5xliKs

Hey guys, the FS “technology” is only in this BabyFace, but l can not find it in the flagship UFX+...? Should l wait for the new model, maybe with the FS, coming soon or... what’s your word on this? I know this virus is holding back so many companies and new products to be released, that’s why I would like to ask before spending $3000 on the flagship UFX+...- thank you.

There is no new version planned for the UFX+ yet.

[@micheletacchi2302]

Hi, I have a question: when plugging into the normal hi-z jack inputs (for example a di guitar or bass), does the signal go through the preamps (same as plugging in the xlrs on the back) ? Thanks! Best regards

[@RMEAudio]

The BF Pro does not have a usual mic preamp. It uses a fully transparent input buffer which has the added bonus of adjusting its gain. Bypassing it would bring zero advantage, the circuit is needed as input buffer anyway. So set it to minimum gain and you can use any external preamp to colour your sound.When a guitar is connected to the instrument input, the Babyface automatically detects it and switches to Hi-Z input.

[@micheletacchi2302]

@@RMEAudio That’s great, so you confirm that the guitar signal goes through the preamp and benefits from its sound quality right? (unless I leave the volume signal to 0)

[@RMEAudio]

@@micheletacchi2302 I edited the previous answer. The guitar (Hi-Z) goes through the AN 3 or AN 4 preamp, even if you set it to zero.

[@micheletacchi2302]

@@RMEAudio Thanks, I don't have an external preamp so I need the signal to be as clean and as good as possible just plugging it directly there.

[@RMEAudio]

@@micheletacchi2302 You don't need a preamp to connect a guitar. You can connect the guitar directly to the instrument input.

You need to do this in your DAW. Set the projekt to 96kHz and import the samples. You should get the question if you want to convert the tha audio files. Ask the manufacturer of your DAW if you have more questions.
