As and RME Fireface UFX+ that has a Ferrofish Pulse 16 connected by Madi, I love Madi! One atvantage of Madi is that you can have a tracking room across the house! I realize not too many people needs this, but if you do it's great. RME Is my favorite interface company!

I'm on the same track of pulling the trigger on the UFX III form my studio (guitars and keyboards and VSTs oriented mostly)... and let me say that - drum aside - this is the best and clearer overview of the two RME products. Good job Man TNX!!!

This may sound weird, but man it's good to see you making stuff again. I've always really loved your videos as I try and figure out how to do these things. Thanks for this!

*They copied all those features from SAC - SOFTWARE AUDIO CONSOLE!*

It feels like there's RME and everyone else. It really pays off in the long term support and lack of headache which is probably the biggest benefit. Audient is decent at the lower end but if I got serious I'd get at least a babyface.

My questions are: How does RME behave itself on the Mac when you turn on your computer? Does it show up every time? Do you have to plug and unplug the USB? How "needy" is it? How often are you nagged to update it? I don't personally 'need' a new interface, but I would like one that doesn't annoy me. My Antelope unit always nags me to enter my admin password when the computer boots. It also craps out when I load a Logic project that has a different sample rate and I have to reboot it, which is double annoying because it doesn't have a power switch. Putting the computer to sleep and waking up again is always a question of it is going to work again or not. I would like an interface that does its job and leaves me alone.

This is the dream set up... I'm stuck because I love recording and editing vocals, but I'm not to keen on recording myself playing drums. So... I'm pretty sure I'd just rent out a studio for drum recording and just cut vocals in my place. But this set up is beautiful and the video is greatly informative. Thank you

I have the focusrite clarett octo pre and 8pre the thunderbolt varient. I do feel the same when they came out with the usb c one and no longer offer this one. I would prefer the usb c one but then I would have to dish out the money just for literally the connection change. From the new studio change the honest quesiton I have is do you feel you no longer need outboard gear like the ISA one's you were using and just use the RME pre amps now?

Great to have you back! Thank you very much.

I just discovered your channel and am drooling over your studio and its most recent upgrades. It blows my mind, as I have not built a home studio in over 20 years. I recently started digging back into what's out there, and this is awesome beyond measure. Thank you!

As a drummer and producer I worked for years with RME stuff. Rock Solid! BUT, dead, clean, thin and chracterless sounding! I really had a huge problem with that, especially on drums. When using the RME in a full analog environment with a great mixingdesk, thats perfect, because charakter and warmth comes thru the desk. I then changed to focusrite interface and pre amps wich sound full, warm and fat on drums. For me the best change ever. And to be honest; even my international top clients asked me when i send them the first drumrecordings with focusrite stuff, what i did, it sounds so damn huge and fat! Well, that say´s it all. BUT thats only my thing. Maybe someone else like the RMW sound, me not. But i would buy it any time when using it in an analog studio as recorder. For the price, the best stuff you can get!!

Welcome back. Must be great to be back in West Virginia, enjoy your new digs!

No, is electrically instable.

Very informative video. Thank you! 🙏🏽

The drum chuck norris

Good stuff

Thanks for putting this video together 🤙🏻. I’m a drummer, with an RME UFX III setup, as well. However, like you, I knew nothing about MADI so I used the ADAT & ANALOG inputs instead. Maybe, now, I’ll have to pick with the RME 12mic for the MADI expansion!

Great job and good useful information without a lot of nonsense fluff. Keep it up!!

WELCOME BACK

fantasic

very very neat setup and very informative

Great video man! Well thought out and presented well. Long time RME user here. Youre right about Digicheck once you have it you cant go without.

Budget?

Nice Video!

I love the videos you make, it's extremely difficult to explain this stuff on video and you do it very smoothly and keep the info rolling at nice pace. Thanks for your efforts! I've been using using something that kinda does some of this so it all made perfect sense. A friend gave me a Behringer ADA 8200 that I needed to pair with something with an optical input so I found the Tascam 102i (and the 208i)(all also available at Sweetwater). It works, didn't cost me much, but not nearly as slick and sweet as this.

Austin my brother, you’re production both Audio and Visual is second to none, huge appreciation and respect for your creative vision, it’s a joy to watch and listen to!

Thanks. Very detailed. Top! Impressive top range professional drum studio. Some more info about software and plugins would be nice. How do you process your drum tracks? How to make quick sound for video? How to add video and video sound together? What quality do you upload to You Tube (audio & video quality)? How to get the right volume level for You Tube? How do you tune with Tunebot and what pitches do you use? I tune with electronic tuner since 1990 and was within the first users of tunebot. Electronic tuning and also an electronic metronome for me is more consistent than human feel or human ears. Not much demo's of Tunebot by professionals like you. I have top and bottom same (Simon Phillips) and have the diff results the same for all lugs: top and bottom. I use recommended tunings from tunebot calculator to have accepted results. Never complaIns about my tuning. Sometimes use major chords, Have used thirds and quarters also and also used tuning towards shell sound/pitch. Snare top is G for me and that is low medium but snare bottom is difficult for me. Bass drum tuning as recommended in the pdf of Tunebot. I tune to fundamental notes; i don't use the lug pitches ... cannot get that reproducible.

Dream ? Your right, your DREAMING if you think I’m paying over $6,000 for this “ system” MANY MANY choices with as good or better quality at far less expense available. Hard PASS !

Does air-sealing off the furnace area prevent updraft of air for it to work properly?

What made you decide this route over UAD? I'm running x8p's that are in a rack, with a snake running to those. Honestly seems to be the best and most efficient system as far as digital recording goes that I've found.

Quick question! So I'm currently in the process of setting up MADI with this exact setup, just wondering why you chose the Coaxial MADI vs. the Fiberoptical MADI to connect the 12Mic to the UFX III? I've read that Fibreoptic MADI is rated for far longer distances, and is more reliable during long runs along/near power lines. I know ADAT optical is the opposite, and is only rated for like ~15 ft as you said in the video. Any info into your thought process is appreciated. Thanks so much for this video, and congrats on the new setup! I was googling the answer to this question and stumbled across your video, and was suprised to see you posted this 1 whole day ago! Perfect timing! :)

RME are great. I have the MADIface Pro. I agree that RME should incorporate the 12mic functions into Totalmix, they used to do that with the Octomic XTC. All in all, great feature from their products. I use mine at home, I originally got it for touring and I’ve also used my interface for a few small live shows with the remote app so I can mix from anywhere in the room.

What cable labels are you using?!

The detail you go into for your videos is amazing. You're not only a drummer, but a top-notch reviewer. Great videos!

I can play them all except for lvl 3 triplet accent shuffler, lvl 3 paradiddle diddle turnaround, lvl 3 fast five turn around, lvl 3 funky flam flow, lvl 3 flam tap turnaround, levels 2 and 3 of swiss triplet turnaround, and lvl 3 of paradiddle accent displacement. I'll get em though! Thanks for the exercise! Love it!

thank you

NICE!) one notice: you can connect your 12Mic with "MIDI over MADI" to remote control your device without any looong-cable usb connection.

Yes, the RME UFX III is a fantastic interface. I paired it with 8 Warm Audio Preamps (WA412) and some additional Focusrite Clarrett Octo Pre. The Sound is so much more defined and transparent. My main reason for upgrading was that my old console didn't work together with my new Mac Studio M2 Max. Quite an investment but works & sounds amazing. I only use this setup to record drums & stream or recording content. The mixing is done on with a different system. And for this system I recently got the UCX II. Works great as well.

Great video! Great explanations And please use a deesser on your vocal chain, the esses really hits you specially on longer video as such haha

RME is the best for drummers ! I have the UFX 2 with an Audient ASP800 and WARM AUDIO WA412 !! It's so cool to have this quality and the FX in real time to play through musics!

How many stereo mixes can you have in ufx3?

I had to upgrade from my Saffire pro 40 for the same reason. I got the Motu 8pre ES however my audient asp800 was giving me problems so I got an old RME Octomic-D…it sounds incredible and the customer service is top notch!

You may have sold me on RME. Apollo user currently, but this is interesting.

I have a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 which they stopped updating several years ago, rendering an otherwise perfectly serviceable device completely useless. What a scumbag move. I will never buy another Focusrite product. Maybe the RME is for me!

btw, RME should sponsor this channel. This is the best RME product video on the whole YT.

Thanks !!!!

Had every other interface on the market. RME is the strongest of them all. Hands down!

most drummers can't afford this "dream" and can get similar results from much less cash..

In terms of support and drivers, I use a MadiFace witch is now 16 years in my possession. It works with a pci Express card using a Sonnett card adapter to TB2. Now on Mac OS Sonoma it still works perfectly using a TB2 to TB3 adapter. 6 months ago there was a driver update for my old madi device !

MAN BEST MOVE RME I used the first UFX with two ASP880 PREs
