Topic: Babyface Pro Half/Full Duplex streaming
If USB 2.0 itself is half-duplex, do any of the RME USB units (particularly either the BF Pro or the UC) have trouble streaming audio FROM the computer, while simultaneously having audio played/monitored into the PC with external gear?
Example: Have audio playing from DAW or internet, while simultaneously playing a synth connected to the RME's analog inputs?
I've only used Firewire in the past, so forgive my ignorance. With Firewire, there was always a constant "loop" I guess, of audio streaming in both directions. So I was always able to have hardware synth audio playing into the PC AND audio from the internet, itunes, etc. playing at the same time, even without a DAW open.
I really would love to own the BF Pro if it's able to work in that same manner, but I just don't know. Even with all the reading I've done & so many opposing answers I've received.
I appreciate any knowledge you can share RME! thanks!
