Both Logic and Ableton solutions provide a simple interface that allows you to select the input and output channels, alongside adjustments for latency.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Logic Pro, the I\/O utility also features a Latency Detection tool, which measures the real-time latency of the recording setup by detecting the delay between output and input signal. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watch both videos below, or read on to learn more about RME Audio Interfaces and TotalMix FX routing software.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; justify-content: center;\">\n<div>\n<h4>RME Audio: Creating &#8220;Analogue Plugins&#8221; in Ableton (video)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RME Audio: Creating Analogue Plugins in Ableton\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j6gyzOjjA88\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">See more videos at <a title=\"Subscribe to the SynthaxTV YouTube channel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=synthaxtv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Synthax TV<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; justify-content: center;\">\n<div>\n<h4>RME Audio: Creating &#8220;Analogue Plugins&#8221; in Logic Pro (video)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RME Audio: Creating Analogue Plugins in Logic Pro\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eUj12XY7a6s\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">See more videos at <a title=\"Subscribe to the SynthaxTV YouTube channel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=synthaxtv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Synthax TV<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TotalMix-FX-RME-Babyface-Pro-FS-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TotalMix-FX-RME-Babyface-Pro-FS-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" alt=\"TotalMix FX - RME Babyface Pro FS - Synthax Audio UK\" width=\"322\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TotalMix-FX-RME-Babyface-Pro-FS-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg 1283w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TotalMix-FX-RME-Babyface-Pro-FS-Synthax-Audio-UK-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TotalMix-FX-RME-Babyface-Pro-FS-Synthax-Audio-UK-768x687.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TotalMix-FX-RME-Babyface-Pro-FS-Synthax-Audio-UK-1024x916.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/><\/a>TotalMix FX<\/h3>\n<p>One of the key features of RME audio interfaces is the inclusion of TotalMix FX, an extremely powerful built-in DSP mixer and accompanying software. With TotalMix FX, it\u2019s possible to route any hardware or software input to any physical output, offering near-limitless mixing possibilities. TotalMix FX works using a built-in FPGA inside RME audio interfaces, taking the processing strain away from your computer.<\/p>\n<p>Totalmix FX also features a full Control Room section, with shortcuts for commonly used functions like Speaker A\/B switching, Dim, Mono, Level Recall and Talkback.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, mixer states and controls, such as 48V phantom power, gain levels and routings can all be saved as \u201csnapshots\u201d, making it easy to recall previous routings at the touch of a button. TotalMix even makes it possible to hide unused channels, so that only the levels you require are visible.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in learning more about TotalMix FX? <a title=\"RME Audio TotalMix FX Turotial Series at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/2018\/12\/06\/rme-video-tutorials-totalmix-fx-for-beginners\/\">RME\u2019s tutorial series<\/a>\u00a0covers everything you need to get started.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RME-Fireface-UCX-II-Portrait-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-36445 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RME-Fireface-UCX-II-Portrait-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" alt=\"RME Fireface UCX II - Portrait - Synthax Audio UK\" width=\"347\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RME-Fireface-UCX-II-Portrait-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RME-Fireface-UCX-II-Portrait-Synthax-Audio-UK-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RME-Fireface-UCX-II-Portrait-Synthax-Audio-UK-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RME-Fireface-UCX-II-Portrait-Synthax-Audio-UK-819x1024.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><\/a>RME Audio Interfaces<\/h3>\n<p>RME have spent over twenty years dedicated to creating devices that are both flexible and powerful. Designed to cover a wide range of scenarios and applications, RME audio interfaces are regularly seen in recording studios, live sound rigs and broadcast audio setups. From the 24-channel <a title=\"RME Babyface Pro FS Product Page at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/rme-babyface-pro-fs\/\">Babyface Pro FS<\/a> and 40-channel <a title=\"RME Fireface UCX II Product Page at Synthax Audio UK\"href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/rme-fireface-ucx-ii\/\">Fireface UCX II<\/a> bringing professional audio to a portable form factor, to the 394-channel <a title=\"RME MADIface XT Product Page at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/rme-madiface-xt\/\">MADIface XT<\/a> that is perfectly suited for high channel count situations, there is an RME audio interface to suit every professional audio recording setup. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alongside their flexibility, RME devices are known for their extensive connectivity. Many of their interfaces fit a large amount of digital and analogue I\/O options into the small footprints. ADAT is a mainstay on their interfaces for easy expansion to a wide range of studio hardware, whilst MADI features on a variety of RME\u2019s recording devices for situations where larger channel counts need to be transferred across long distances. It is also possible to convert between digital formats, adding another layer to the flexibility offered on RME devices.<\/p>\n<p>Many of RME\u2019s interfaces have been designed with portability in mind too. The entirely bus-powered Babyface Pro FS is a truly portable interface, offering phantom power to both of its mic preamps without the need for external power. RME\u2019s latest interface release, the Fireface UCX II can run entirely independently of a computer, including the ability to record directly to a USB hard drive.<\/p>\n<p>The popular Digiface range brings high-channel count recording capabilities to a nearly pocket-sized USB interface for an array of audio formats. The <a title=\"RME Digiface USB Product Page at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/rme-digiface-usb\/\">Digiface USB<\/a> is a bus-powered 66-channel ADAT interface, whilst the popular <a title=\"RME MADIface USB Product Page at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/rme-madiface-usb\/\">MADIface USB<\/a> offers 128 MADI channels (64 input and 64 output) in an incredibly small form factor. Alongside ADAT and MADI, the Digiface range contains interfaces for a selection of audio networking formats. For AVB systems, the <a title=\"RME Digiface AVB Product Page at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/rme-digiface-avb\/\">Digiface AVB<\/a> is a 256-channel USB interface. For those using Audinate\u2019s Dante audio networking protocol, RME\u2019s <a title=\"RME Digiface Dante Product Page at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/rme-digiface-dante\/\">Digiface Dante<\/a> also offers 128 input and 128 output channels. The newest addition to the range is the <a title=\"RME Digiface Ravenna Product Page at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/rme-digiface-ravenna\/\">Digiface Ravenna<\/a>, a collaboration with DirectOut which is based on the Digiface Dante with the addition of AES67 and ST2110-30\/31 support.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alongside their power and flexibility, RME interfaces have long been known for their reliability. Designed in-house by their team of engineers, RME\u2019s drivers are revered for being rock solid, whilst the company\u2019s commitment to updating their drivers has meant that products from as back as 2001 still work perfectly on the latest operating systems.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"RME Audio Interfaces at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/\">Learn more about RME Audio Interfaces<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5-Year-Warranty-Badge-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-21880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5-Year-Warranty-Badge-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" alt=\"5-Year-Warranty-Badge - Synthax Audio UK\" width=\"209\" height=\"203\" \/><\/a>5 Year Warranty<\/h3>\n<p>Over the past 20 years, the word \u2018reliability\u2019 has become synonymous with the RME Audio brand, thanks to both the exceptional build quality and the now industry-renowned, rock-solid drivers.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, we are happy to offer all of our UK customers a complimentary 5 year warranty on all RME products, when purchased either from ourselves, or from one of our authorised UK dealers, and remain the only interface manufacturer to offer this at no extra cost.<\/p>\n<p>To activate your 5 year warranty, simply register your RME device with us within 30 days of purchase via our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme-warranty\">warranty page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure you are buying your device from a UK-based retailer, please check our list of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/dealers\/\">authorised UK dealers<\/a>\u00a0before purchase.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr><footer>\n<div class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"footer-image alignleft\" title=\"RME Audio Logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RME-Logo.png\" alt=\"RME Audio Logo\" width=\"150\" height=\"29\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to know more about any of RME\u2019s audio interfaces, soundcards, AD\/DA Converters or microphone preamps, give us a call on <a>01727 821 870<\/a> to speak to one of our team or to arrange a demo.<br>You can also <a title=\"Get in contact with Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/contact-us\/\">contact us here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<style>\n\n.article-wrapper p {\n  font-size: 120%;\n}\n\n<style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RME product specialist Adrian demonstrates how to incorporate outboard effects like compressors, delays and reverbs into Logic Pro and Ableton.
