Babyface Pro USB Audio Interface

RME makes some of the best audio interfaces and drivers in the industry for low latency and solid performance. I tried one of those Scarlett devices and had to return it after one day due to driver problems. I've now been using the BFP for over two years, and it's never ONCE glitched or done anything other than give me pristine audio quality and perform like a champ even with some heavy productions of more than 60 tracks.

There is not much to say, excellent german engineering very good sound, very flexible and easy to use, Total Mix FX give a real plus to the user. I bought this interface to complement my old Sound Devices USBpre 2 (excellent sound) but the digital part is getting bit dated. Thanks RME

My previous audio interface was RME's Fireface 800 and I was a bit hesitant to try something at the much lower price point of the Babyface Pro. I should not have worried. I use this interface at home and sometimes mobile but not with a full band. The two mic pre's are clean and have lots of headroom. I use the TLM-103's with it. I was already accustomed to the TotalMix software so that wasn't difficult to learn. The reverb, echo, and EQ are ok but not something I use, except when I get stuck with some cheap headphones. It badly needs a stand. I turned a metal bookend over, used some velcro and it works great. The buttons do take a good push to work. I use near field speakers, SPDIF, MIDI, phones, and the USB to sometimes my MAC and other times to one of my PC's. RME hit my needs dead on.

For a small package, this interface delivers good functionality and clean converters and a decent headphone amp. Unless you use the ADAT IO, the connections are limited to 2 MICs and 2 line inputs. But it is very portable and powers from the USB port. The TotalMIX software is very flexible although not well explained. The manual covers everything for the guy who wrote the software, but it's not obvious to someone who is new to the product. If you are a beginner in audio stuff, this will confuse the heck out of you. For example, you will not hear yourself thru the headphones in the default setup. You need to bring up the MIC channel for the headphone out channel in the software. This is very easy to do if you know where everything is and how it works. For beginners who don't need the small/portable size or for a small band, I would recommend something with more knobs and an easier UI, such as the excellent Yamaha MG12XU series, or even the Zoom R16/24 if you need to record separate stems (outputs 8 of them over USB). Depending on your needs for on location stuff etc, Zoom F4 or F8N Multitrack Field Recorder could be a better option. As far as audio quality, Babyface Pro is top notch, very clear sound in and out. Software seemed to run without issues on my Windows 7 system. If you need something good quality to hook up to your laptop, then Babyface Pro delivers. Just be prepared for the software learning curve at the start. This thing even supports remote control!

Best soundcard i have ever had. Pros: The sound, the design, nice carrying case, did i mention the sound ? Cons: trx outputs not locked

The item received, first of all, wasn't even a pro. It was a 2 year old previous model. So it was used, damaged, with screws loose, and no cables to attach it. Returned immediately.

The quality is very good and it gives the latency very low that I have no issue using a bunch of plugins.

I would've given it a higher score but the product came opened and didn't include the USB 2.0 cable like it's supposed to

Além da necessidade, qualidade extrema.

I bought this interface last year but ended up returning it because it intimidated me. This year I needed a new one and I decided to give this one another try. So glad I did! I did need a friend to help me set it up, but I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Perfect, just what I needed. Works like a dream

I like the RME Babyface for its solid construction. I am satisfied with its consistent performance after using it for 3 weeks. I don't have to worry about driver issues, or tripping beats. Mainly I use it to record live using either the 2 preamp microphones or the 2 in line 1/4" inputs.

Excellent product with no issues.
