Supertramp co-founder tours with RME audio interfaces<\/h2>\n

Musician and singer-songwriter Roger Hodgson is currently on an American and European tour, with several pieces of RME<\/a> at the heart of his and his band’s touring rigs.<\/p>\n

Co-founder of the English rock band Supertramp, Hodgson is probably best known for composing and singing on many of their most famous tracks including “Dreamer”, “Give a Little Bit”, “Breakfast in America”, “Take the Long Way Home”, “The Logical Song” and “It’s Raining Again”.<\/p>\n

In an article featured on ProSoundWeb.com<\/a>, his FOH engineer Howard Heckers (who has also worked with the likes of Liza Minnelli, James Taylor, Christopher Cross, and Randy Newman) discusses how the RME MADIface USB<\/a> is being used on the tour.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his fondness for RME devices, Heckers also revealed that several other members of the band are using RME interfaces too, with the Fireface UFX<\/a>, Fireface UCX<\/a> and the new Babyface Pro<\/a> all making up part of the band\u2019s equipment list. He was also full of praise for the impressive ongoing support they’ve been receiving.<\/p>\n

“Roger and I both agree this is the best unit available in the industry.”<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reliability is a key factor for touring musicians – there’s little room for error when playing live, and demanding schedules mean that equipment has to work flawlessly night after night. RME audio interfaces are well-known for providing years of reliable, consistent performance – perfect for both the studio and life on the road!<\/p>\n

Heckers says of Hodgson\u2019s choice in using the RME Fireface UFX<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had been using another interface previously, but when we switched over to the Fireface UFX, the sound quality was so much better we couldn\u2019t believe our ears. Roger and I both agree this is the best unit available in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
