TotalMix DSP mixer with parametric 3-band EQ, highpass, delay, reverb, compressor, expander and auto Level - completely latency-free and storable

No discussion of RME devices would be complete without mentioning TotalMix FX, RME’s software controller for the on-board DSP digital mixer built into every RME interface or sound card.Throughout its 25 year history, RME has been fully committed to a principle of flexibility - the more flexible a product, the more easily it can be adapted to new requirements. For company founder Matthias Carstens, this lies at the heart of RME's success: "The Fireface UCX II makes us proud and enthusiastic as it represents a natural evolution of our product range." Like other RME products before the Fireface 802 combines excellent analog circuit design with latest digital conversion technology. All balanced TRS & XLR I/Os as well as the two phones outputs offer outstanding low noise and distortion values. In best RME tradition and product philosophy converters and preamps don’t produce “sound”, they do not add or remove anything from the source signal, just capture it as it is.

As mentioned above, ADAT I/O is included for expanding the UCX II with other studio hardware such as microphone preamps and AD/DA converters, with MIDI I/O for control of instruments (like synths and drum machines), as well as for sending remote control messages to other hardware. Founded in 1977 in Skanderborg, Denmark, Dynaudio has over 40 years of experience in producing cutting-edge loudspeakers. In terms of product, overall, this device is really great. The product has no scratches on the surface. So beautiful. RME’s latest software, TotalMix Remote, further enhances the functionality of the Fireface. This allows for remote control of the Fireface from multiple devices. This becomes greatly beneficial when using the UCX II in live environments, allowing you to walk around the space and adjust the sound. This is similarly beneficial when you are monitoring in an external control room to the studio space. Alongside Control Room functionality, TotalMix features a range of effects to improve monitoring. A 5-band parametric EQ and Dynamics are available on every channel, whilst Reverb and Delay sends allow for enhanced monitor mixes during recording.Like all RME audio interfaces, the Fireface UCX II features TotalMix FX, the powerful on-board DSP mixer and software. TotalMix gives you the ability to route any hardware or software input to any physical output, creating near limitless possibilities in terms of mixing. Because TotalMix is DSP-based, all the processing takes place within the UCX II. This means the interface offers latency-free monitoring as well as the ability to create complex routings without any performance issues.

Note: there is also a TotalMix for iPad app, which is what you’ll want if you want to use an iPad itself for recording and mixing. TotalMix Remote is simply for network control (of an RME device connected to another computer on the network). Whilst these frequencies are generally considered undesirable for audio - eating into headroom and potentially causing damage to other equipment - one instance where DC-coupling remains desirable is the world of modular synthesizers, where static or slow-moving signals are used for control over various parameters such as pitch note values or LFOs. Every input and output is individually switchable to these common professional studio levels: -10 dBV, +4 dBu, HiGain (equivalent to +2 dBV, +13 dBu and +19 dBu for digital full scale). Both the UC and UCX models brought the addition of RME’s freshly developed USB 2.0 technologies – Firewire was on the way out as the format of choice, although a hint to the product’s beginnings remains in the name (‘Fireface’ was originally a reference to the connection type).Handmade pro audio equipment from Madrid, Spain. Combining eco-friendly materials with premium analogue sound, the Tierra Audio range includes Microphones, Preamps, EQs, Compressors and more, and in a variety of different flavours - from clean and precise, to warm, colourful and full of character. The DSP processors of the Fireface 802 provide you with the complete feature set of a digital mixing console (but with only one effect send): You can create (almost) any number of channel strips and route them to your heart's content, edit the audio material with EQ, compressor, delay, reverb, etc., record or send it to monitor or aux channels, or convert the different digital input protocols to each other or to analog. In addition, all settings can be saved as presets and the unit is even ready to use in stand alone mode without a computer. By integrating open source MIDI control protocols you can remote control the Fireface 802 with any MIDI device or your iPad to use it e.g. live as a mixer or as a control center of your home theater or hifi system. The key point is that all this is done without any additional latency due to the calculation by specialized chips directly in the device.
