Hey glenn happy 10 years on youtube, I've been here since the old bass player videos, and learned A LOT here, thank you so much!!!!!!

I love the Babyface Pro. No knobs to get caught on stuff in your bag. Software is also very good. Not hard to use and lets you save various profiles for different situations.

Thanks for doing this one! Been looking at the RME for the past week or so to maybe buy next year. Glad to see that it's so good.

I´ve been a RME user ever since 2003 when i first had the Babyface and later went to the FF802. I love their stuff! Top notch quality and drivers!

Congrats on 10 years Glenn and nice demo! Cheers!!

RME is great! I recently run into problems with driver support on my old interfaces (Focusrite Saffire pro 40, etc,...) Instead of putting these old but good sounding preamps to the scrapyard, i found the RME Digiface USB with 4 ADAT Ins and Outs which gives old gear another life via Toslink. Madiface is also great! Drivers are incredible and RME offers a long term support!

Used one of these for years for my live performance work. Was asked back quite a few times, as it was so reliable. Definitely recommended

My Focusrite 4i4 has loopback! Thanks for doing what you do Glenn, super helpful!

Wow Glenn, lookin like a fine tuned rock machine! Congrats on the awesome new look.

Finally someone explained the usefulness of loop back!!!! Thank you Glenn!!!

Hi! I'm currently using an RME fireface 400 with my 2011 imac - looking to upgrade my sound. Would you say the babyface pro is going to make a noticeable difference? Also considering apollo twin x, ssl2...

About time companies are finally including "Loopback" functionality. Just in case you and your viewers were not aware. Some Focusrite 3rd Gen interfaces now have Loopback functionality that is available in their Focusrite Control software. Pretty useful in some scenarios.

I keep waiting for Glenn to open a new box and get another mouse with the cord cut off.

My previous interface was a Steinberg UR44 USB 2.0 and it had a loop back feature, also my new interface which is a UAD Apollo twin x has a loop back feature too, you just have to route the stereo outputs to the stereo virtual outputs in the Console software ( easier than it sounds ), but you are right the RME BF is a killer interface, specially latency wise. Cheers!

OMG your shirt! Watching the video again so I can actually pay attention to all the rest... LOVE Robotech.

It's ALL about the software. Of the interfaces I've used the biggest separator has been the control software. This looks pretty good.

Congrats on 10 years on KZread, Glenn!

I am an assistant working in audiological research and our lab uses two babyface pros because of the excellent latency and because the drivers are well maintained. It’s where I learned of it! Also where I picked up on the sennheiser HD650s!

Thanks for a good video. I love the stability of RME products. Just want to chip in regarding loopback function. I know Steinberg has that function on their soundcards. I also do believe Motu delivers loopback functionality. This is really a great feature for those who want to use soundcards for stream. Makes it so much easier.

I have had an FF400 for ten years and it's still rock solid. Amazing product and company!

Love my original Babyface Pro. I have a friend who uses the aintient Fireface 400 and it still gets updated drivers and this AI is 18 years old and discontinued. I have high hopes for my BFP for being future proof. Great ADDA converters, mic pre's just all in all a really sweet, cool audio interface. If I have to upgrade in the next decade it will be again RME.

Still using the original Babyface blue one from years ago. Tempted to upgrade but it works fine so gonna stick with it for now.

I'll receive mine todayyyyy, so exited!

Hello Alejandro. How do you like your baby face? How’s the sound quality? I have the ssl 2 and don’t get me wrong, it’s great...but I believe there’s a reason why this baby face is $900ish for a reason. I’m contemplating on getting it.

@@digitalmarketinghumans Hi! I’m totally loving it, this is a very very solid unit, the amount of volume I can have is astonishing. Sound wise it sounds perfect, the latency is ultra low I had never experienced this (I’ve been using Focusrite for years in the past) I’ll take me some more time to fully have a grasp of TotalMix FX because I was not used to working with an environment like this but it is a solid product definitely, best purchase I’ve done in years. I’m combining this with Sonarworks so I have a safe area to work, it is definitely a great purchase, it also had free Brainwork plugins and some Guitar amp emulators for free.

Interesting interface, I have that pre Sonus digital mixer it was pricey just like The Apollo but I was so happy with the hybrid workflow I have going on now. Monitoring and recording is a breeze.

My babyface is from 2010 or 2011.. what a great interface

Will this enable me to have an “insert”? For tracking and/or processing with an outboard compressor

Great review, thank you.

All of your gear are kick ass....as well as the knife :)

I own the original Babyface - still a solid and very reliable piece of gear. Love it!

I use this exact interface since 2015. Amazing interface

Hi Glenn! I am on a mac with thunderbolt 3 ports. I play and record guitar, and use amp sims and VSTs, so RTL is important to me. I can't decide which to buy: UA appolo Solo TB3 or RME baby pro fs? RME has more inputs, which is also important to me. Thanks!

Here’s a little story for you. I recently bought a FF400 for the purpose of having an interface at home and I have my “big cool Apollo” in the studio. After a shootout between the two I was sold, the RME kicked Apollo’s ass into space. So I’m selling Apollo, keeping the FF400 and looking for a FF800 for the studio. I’ve always been struggling with the Apollo, not being able to stretch my legs with it so to speak. Adios Apollo!

Hi Glen, I’m thinking of buying the Soundcraft Signature MTK 12 to use it as an mixer/interface. Any thoughts on it?

Glad to hear it. Mine just came from shop to me :)

Does it come with the DC power supply? What would you recommend as far as the best PC Laptop for recording and music production? That might be a whole Nother video just thought I would ask thanks Glenn.

Hello Glenn, great channel! New follower and fellow Windsorite looking to buy a RME UFX+ to upgrade my interface and start to expand my home studio. Would you be able to recommend a dealer in Canada? Is it possible to find deals on RME from a dealer (i.e. No Tax, 10% off, etc)? Thank you very much for your input! Keep up the good work!

Can you please compare this to the more affordable interfaces from "high end" brands - the MOTU M4, Audient Evo8, SSL2, etc.?

Thanks for the vid ! I'd like to send the output to a reverb pedal and then record it on my DAW, but not having a loopback effect. I used to do that on the Scarlett Solo but had to desactivate the Direct monitor. So I couldnt hear the sound of the reverb during the recording which is annoying. Is that possible to do it on the RME while listening to the pedal ?

SIr i can hear white noise.. is that white noise from the babyface interface ? 2. is it possible to bypass the babyface preamp to use an external preamp for example my 1073 lb ? or which one would you recommend to use with 1073 lb Sir ?

I was torn between this and the Presonus Quantum 2626 (both at similar price points) when recently shopping for an interface. In the end I went with the Quantum because it's also zero latency and offers 8 inputs and wordclock as well as midi and lightpipe. I guess I chose functionality over portability? In any event... I'm happy with my choice (seems like there's honestly no wrong choice between these 2 options, just feature sets that work better for individual needs) and think the Q2626 is also worth checking out for any home studio.

Excellent vídeo 😎🔥

Ordered a used original babyface. Looking forward to using an audio interface with good preamps!

What do you think of the Evo 4 audio interface? And what do you think about putting an emg 81 into a £200 guitar, Would I get the benefit of it? I have a boss katana 100 mk1

Glen, that's not the original Babyface. That's the second version, and the FS you have is the third. There was one version which looked a bit differently prior to the one you have. Great units all of them!

Hi, I have a Scar 2i2 paired with yamaha's hs8 with the hs8s sub, I'am a beatmaker so what do you think is the best for me the Rme Babyface Pro fs or the Apollo Twin?

What would be an excellent 8 channel adat expansion that is commonly used among pros with the babyface pro fs?

I was initially looking to get the UAD X8 but I’ve heard UAD interfaces have issues with PCs? Is this true? I’m now looking at RME but I would really like to get a UAD but I’m nervous about potential compatibility issues

Super small, nice and smart, great for travels...

stellar video my friend.

Hey, l can’t find a way to re-amp with the BabyFace Pro- after taking the 2 outs for the studio monitors? I’m still thinking:- should l buy this one (but some limitations for I/Os) or should l get the UFX+...- but more $$ (3 times more)- can you help me please? How do u like the BF vs UFX...?

Use the headphone out then straight into whatever you want then into inputs 3 and 4.i do it all the time. You can monitor trough the other headphone output or the mains out.

I have a scar 2i2 gen2, do you think the rme babyface pro fs will improve my monitors sound? btw I have a pair of yamaha hs8 with the hs8s sub

Thanks for the great vid. I'm curious, what are you running the SM7b through here or usually for your videos? Thanks !

hello, where to connect the external preamp? into mic input 1-2 or instrument input 3-4?

How does this sound when you mic a guitar cabinet with amp head distortion, not direct in with an amp simulator plugin?

Glen just want to ask you.. What's the difference between the two Rme interfaces you have? The babyface and the fireface? Which would be better for strictly using with a daw?

I run rack mount pres a lot. Are the 1/4” ins true line level, or is it something where my signal is running through the pres or some other circuitry I wouldn’t want? I’m trying to find a small interface that has true dedicated line level inputs for running outboard gear into.

Has anyone tried the Antelope discrete 4 (latest one) vs the RME Baby Face RS (latest one)? I am contemplating on getting either of these. I don't think I can go wrong with either but it appears people are more swayed one way or another. Haha.

Can you please review the MOTU M4 and Ultralite Mk5 interfaces? I own both and they're very stellar, probably the best out there for the money.

Glenn, I've been using my babyface pro for a few years and I simply LOVE IT. Is the upgrade for the FS worthy or is just a few tweaks???

I think the FS is only for specific situations. If you have the regular pro (I do) and it works fine for your purposes there's no point in getting the FS.

how is it to play guitar through it on usb? i have been looking at getting the uad apollo twin whit thunderbolt 3 does the tb3 have alot less noticeable latency than usb?

Any opinions on this RME and the Antelope 4 input. Both around the same price and Antelope comes with their mic and sw emulations.

Hey there, could someone please link me the video where Glenn pranks us with low volume at the beginning of the video and talks about looking for the problem in the setup and then says to check if the source is good and blast our speakers with the full volume intro? I can't find it, but I want to prank a bassist :c

If I had latency problem with focusrite Scarlett and uad volt because of weak i5 cpu cores, can this rme be a solution?

I'd like to know only one thing, which has the best sound quality converters the Babyface FS or the Audient ID44mkII if you know that is.

It may just be icing on the cake, but that extra power in the FS headphone amp really pays off. My Senn HD600 sound much better on my BF Pro FS than any interface I've tried before. Drives them almost as well as my Schitt Vali 2 headphone amp.

Love the size, just a shame for being on the desk majority of the time, have cables coming out all sides doesn't look that great. U like others where cable inputs are on back. Though good for occasional trips. Wonder how good drivers are for windows?

You’re not the only one hopefully RME fixes this…no wonder why there aren’t so many sales for RME products. It looks super ugly!

RME is great, the only downside are the (older) PCIe Cards, they have issues with noise, depending on the Motherboard and PSU Design. Have to check that on another PC. TotalMix with the ARC is awesome. You can link the Output Levels for Speakers and Headphone, which to me, is essential.

How do i route my guitar/mic to my computer speakers?

Whats the version with more inputs? I need more analog ins

Can audio be ran out via Babyface to external hardware and back in to record stuff like reverb separate of the raw signal? Just discovered this unit, looks awesome!

I think the baby face is awesome. I was using it exclusively for a little bit. I did switch over to the Apollo X4 earning one from spiffs. I have to say, there was a difference in the low end during playback. The DAC On the X4 and especially the rack series with the better clock. Just seemed to be more present in the lows and low kids. I still think my RME sounded great but it’s worth noting. Also, UAD does provide way more features and DSP options but total mix has some cool advantages as well. I think it’s a bit of a trade off and I have been impressed with both. So bottom line, if you are a Mac user, they are both excellent and worth weighing the differences to see which suits your workflow best. Good video. Now I have to decide if I want to go fireface UFX or Apollo x16/x8

Anyone else notice that when plugging a guitar straight into input 3 the gain in totalmix is quite low? -30? is this normal?

RME is the perfect company for me. Hardware is great, software is great. Yeah it looks like a product from the 80's and not as cool/flashy. But damn do they perform.
