I upgraded to RME gear about 6 months.. I make this post as a happy customer. Other composers who are considering the purchase of any other soundcard, i trust you may see the error of your intent.
I have been the owner of numerous models and makes of other soundcards over the last decade, and now with RME gear, it is the first time i see? and hear audio working... exactly as it should. I can hear a clarity that i have never heard before. For the first time in digital domain, i love what i hear.
I can set the lowest buffer setting and there are no pops and crackles. Who ever programmed these asio drivers is without doubt, brilliant!!!
THe Digicheck application is simply excellent and is what allows me to accurately see? the audio. I can easily see what is going on in all frequencies. The Totalmix application, although it can be a bit daunting at first with so many channels (for a MADI card) is similarly, the most powerful mixing and routing program.
I feel that i have the perfect system for my needs and have recommended many other local audio people to purchase only RME products.
Although i still have no idea what the acronym stands for, RME has been the catalyst for me to obtain a great sound. With this great RME sound, my music is now heard around the world on discovery channel.
My musical goals and dreams have begun to be realised, and RME is an integral part of it.
Roon.
