Re: rme fireface ufx nothing sounds decent

Possibly wrong setup of routing for Main Out?
Can you provide a screenshot pf the submix for your main monitoring output?

If anything fails I would try to reset the mix using Options -> Reset Mix -> ...
Check also the manual for these reset functions.

meybe  , have reset ttal mix meny times  but it still same result

Re: rme fireface ufx nothing sounds decent

The UFX is an excellent interface with a decent sound. If it sounds bad I assume something is wrong.
It would be helpful to see the submix as nobody can see, what exactly has been configured.

Furthermore, it is not clear what application and what driver you are using.
Whether you use an ASIO driver or a windows sound driver.

Your description of your setup is very incomplete, as there are many things that could be the reason for this.
Maybe also in the DAW, if you changed the phase of one channel in a stereo setup and what not.

Re: rme fireface ufx nothing sounds decent

May you drag n drop an MP3 or wave file (Pop/Rock finished Song)  into Fruity Loops as reference track to check out the stereo field ?

Totalmix in your photos shows exactly the same signal as in the Fruity Loops master out.
The interface seems to work fine.

One hihat, a little bit set to the right side.
Thats not enough for testing.

And also there is Digicheck the free RME software you should use to watch the signal, the Goniometer will show you the stereofield of your signal.

Then I also recommend to test the headphone.
Without adapter at mobilephone or Radio or whatever, just to ensure the headphone itself sounds fine.
Sometimes cheap adapters can shortcut stereo into mono...

Re: rme fireface ufx nothing sounds decent

This is how the stereofield looks like with the Vectorscope (goniometer) of the Digicheck :

All fine the track is stereo and the instruments are panned well.

Are you listening over headphones or speakers (or both)?

And do you listen to Soundcloud over the UFX too?

Re: rme fireface ufx nothing sounds decent

Make a Loopback of the FL-track and record this into a new track in FL straight away.
Then invert the phase of the new track and listen the silence ( null-test).
If there is audible material then something is wrong and you have a measured result.
These online players and streaming services have different settings to volume and therefor one is a bit louder than the other.
No worry

So if the track sounds better (or at least different) from Soundcloud over the same hardware, it simply can’t be a fault there. If there would be an issue in Totalmix or on the UFX itself, it would sound bad regardless of the playback software. Maybe you have accidentally activated something in the DAW (main) output (phase flip on one channel, a plugin or what do I know…)

Re: rme fireface ufx nothing sounds decent

waedi i  recorded  a track then made an copy of it  then inverted the phase one the one copy and i couldt hear eanything does this mean there is nothing wrong

Re: rme fireface ufx nothing sounds decent

oli77sch    im using fl studio  my main output is  asio fireface usb  and   headphones 11/12  u cant flip eny channel

Re: rme fireface ufx nothing sounds decent

Hi!

headphones 11/12  u cant flip eny channel

Use TotalMix for this flip, phase e.t.c

Re: rme fireface ufx nothing sounds decent

S+E Hansson he ment on fl studio on the daw  when i flip phase on  total mix i can hear the playback it just gets closer

No. You should not make a copy of it.
You should have the original song there from beginning, play this and record it thru the interface with Loopback into a new track in FL.
Then flip the phase of the new track.
Then let play both tracks simultan.
It should become silent.

But for a true test of the analog converters of the interface you have to go a step further and do a cable Loopback on the interface with two cables from analog output into analog input and record those inputs with FL.
Then do the phase flip.
This is a measurement method.
You started this by saying the interface sound is flat, nothing is decent.
This is what you say, but it is not enough.
We want to measure it.

This will not work without moving the recorded file to the correct, sample-aligned position.
