Editor Paul Vnuk Jr. reviews the Fireface UFX III from RME. Check out the print review in the June 2023 issue of RECORDING Magazine. recordingmag.c... Learn more about the UFX III at: www.rme-usa.co...
I got my ufx3 paired with UA 4-710d, and a bunch of external preamps, mainly using all of it to track drums. With the 4-710, through Adat, together with 12 inputs of the UFX I am able to run a total of 20 channels.
@@latentsea I did not use durec. Conversion on the other hand is awesome. The unit itself has both modern and analog vibe... the more analog outboard stuff I introduce the more mixes become hybrid sounding digital/analog type of deal.
I´m a RME user for decades and always use the biggest stuff so i know them. Like always the recordings are clean as hell with a touch of totally boringnes, means no character no nothing. That´s why i send all the signals via analog gear into the RME as i am not a huge fan of using plugins to re-create character and sound. But RMEs are rock solid, never break down and great support. That´s what count´s in a pro. environment. Set it and forget it.
@@hosoiarchives4858For Bonham, yes. If you regularly use the analogue channels for something permanently, I would recommend taking an extra I/O for drums. Connect it via ADAT or MADI.
@@hosoiarchives4858 yes. but youll want to have either external mic pres into the line inputs on the back, or to pick up an ADAT expander (like the ada8200 from behringer, octopre from Focusrite, or something else). You may find only 4 preamps may not be enough depending on what you're going for.
@@levraichris3321 No, it’s called UFX III if you care to read the video title and yes it does replace the UFX + and not the UFX II. It has nothing to do with the name. Even RME say so themselves.
Excellent review. Much appreciate it. Would love your opinion. I own an Apollo X8 and now going through the “bug’ of even considering swapping out my X8 for the RME reviewed here. Would appreciate any opinions and advice.❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
There are no mistakes, only happy accidents. If you want something else then sell what you have and get it. However, none of the units in mind are shit in any way.
Those two devices are very different beasts. The x4 has very nice expansion features with the ADAT I/O, but this UFX III is RME's top of the line box and you can pretty much connect anything either analog or digital to it. Their software TotalMix is also more comprehensive, but it's also way more complicated and time consuming to learn. RME has some of the best converters and everything is extremely pro, but if the x4 covers what you'd be doing, then there's nothing wrong with that.
Hello! I bought this card, but I noticed if I shake it a little, or turn my feet on my head, so that the sound sounds there, as if the shaker is not loud! This is fine? what could it be?
