Coldplay and RME Fireface 800, Fireface UFX and Babyface

We were lucky enough to be invited down to a Coldplay rehearsal last week (May 2011) where we had a chat with Miller who is Coldplay's MIDI and Pro Tools tech, and their Web Content Producer.

Miller explains in the film how the RME Fireface 800, Fireface UFX and the Babyface are used on the tour and in the studio.

What is MADI?

MADI is the perfect solution for the transmission of multiple audio channels. The technical problems that are found with standard multicore cables are well-known: cable loss, stray pick-up, aging, weight, cumbersome handling, costly etc.

MADI is different using only a thin cable to transmit up to 64 audio channels and over a distance of up to 2000 meters!
