Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

Hi, I hope you're well.  I'm using a Babyface Pro FS with a Focusrite Octopre Dynamic over ADAT sending audio into Reaper 6.75 in a 96kHz project on Windows 11.  Reaper is only receiving audio on ADAT 1-2 but not 3-4.  TMFX is getting signal so the Octopre is working.  I contacted Focusrite support and the person said they believe it's not an Octopre issue.  I've also posted a thread on the reaper forum but, only being a few hours, no one has yet responded.  Please help, thanks.

I just tried at 48kHz and inputs 3+4 and 7+8 are dead in reaper; the remaining ones pass signal.  What are the chances it's the optical cable?

It looks like you may have Loopback activated on the corresponding output channel, that blocks the physical input and sends the output mix to the driver instead. Try turning that off on the output channel you named SKH-LBK.

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

Edit: Solution in post 1157.

I just checked the latest Windows driver, 1.227. Unfortunately, ASIO does not work with all the apps I'm using for live VST instruments playback, including the standalone versions of Kontakt 7, Cantabile for Ivory II grand pianos, Garritan CFX Concert Grand, and UVI Workstation. I can use the ASIO output of Foobar2000 to play music, but that's it. If returning to driver version 1.2.24, I need to install it with the Babyface Pro FS plugged in to my laptop for it to truly downgrade. Now the problem is solved, but not sure if in the future I can use the new drivers.

I wonder, what caused this really big change in ASIO? Unfortunately, some apps (like the specific version of Cantabile and the Garritan CFX Concert Grand) are old, and I do not know where to contact support. If RME's ASIO driver implementation changed so much that these apps failed to detect the existence of such a driver, that would be very terrible.

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

Update: the main problem I found was that I didn't plug in the device when I updated the driver. Now that the driver was updated, all ASIO programs work as expected. I'm now on driver version 1.227.

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

Hi Guys,

I just installed 1.227 on the main website and updated firmware to 203 however I noticed that Totalmix FX did not automatically update. It is still on 1.79 and not 1.80. I found a 1.80 Beta 3 version however as soon as I restart my Windows 11 machine, it relaunches 1.79. Shouldn't the official 1.227 driver include Totalmix 1.80?

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

Nevermind, I see here in this thread that 1.79 is the correct version of Total Mix and that 1.80 is only in beta right now. I was able to go to startup, find the file location of totalmix and replace it with the beta version. Now windows 11 boots up with the beta version.

I have a problem with my babyface pro fs. first of all, when I turn on 48v, I always hear a low-frequency noise, secondly, I have two laptops, I plug the card from one to the other. the microphone channel is closed everywhere. but if suddenly, I have not turned off 48v in the total mix , then when i turn on the card begins a terrible feedback, almost burned out the monitors. i repeat, the microphone channel is closed!

Hi! Seems you are on 192kHz, right? ADAT has
8 audio channels @44.1/48
4 audio channels @88.2/96 (SMUX)
2 audio channels @176.4/192 (SMUX/4)
Beside that, what do you want to do further with your audio? Also @44.1/48 you would have the channels splitted over different kinds of hardware outputs, XLR main outs, stereo headphones, ADAT.

As far I can see it's normal behaviour in Audio-Midi-Setup showing all the channels but having slider knobs only for the analog outputs and the ADAT/SPDIF 1/2 (I have a Babyface pro too). But how is it on your system in TotalMix? Are there all the eight ADAT outputs available?

Yes. All 8 ADAT outputs are available. Audio-MIDI-Setup for 7.1.4 Atmos Surround works for all 12 channels. I can play the test noise to all 12 channels separately. I want to use the BF Pro FS software outputs like this software is used in the video:

Doesn't work on my Mac as well. Playing back an Atmos 7.1.4 track out of Apple Music gives me only signals on five channels (Analog 1-2, 3, AS 1-2). I don't know why. In Audio-Midi-Setup I can set the speaker configuration to Atmos 7.1.4 and it shows how the channels are distributed to the Babyface, so far all ok.

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

I don't have Babyface pro yet.
I want to find out from the owners:
1. is it possible to connect monitors with AES input to its digital output (directly, without using additional converters, that is, using just a cable with the appropriate desoldering)?
2. is it possible using routing in totalmix to direct all sounds from windows and from DAW to this digital output, duplicating this entire audio stream to the main output. the goal is to get a complete copy of the audio stream to monitors with a digital input and to a second pair of monitors connected from the analog output of the sound card.

1. no, beside the analog outputs, the Babyface pro has only an optical (Toslink) output which can be set either to ADAT or to SPDIF protocols. There is neither an AES/EBU XLR out nor a coaxial SPDIF (which on some other RME units is available, and also is compatible to AES).
2. yes, the routing could be easily done. TotalMix allows separate and independent mixes for every single output (or of course stereo pairs).

Why don’t you want to add an optical SPDIF to XLR AES/EBU converter box?
Do the monitor speakers only have AES inputs, no SPDIF?

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

I already have such an optical SPDIF to XLR AES/EBU, and I use it with my current MOTU UL mbk3 sound card. but I want to switch to RME! And by making this transition, I want to get not only maximum stability, minimum latency, unlimited routing option, but also this notorious AES, which is present in some rme models, which is in principle rare and almost unique for universal sound cards.

At least with the two optical<>coax SPDIF converters I have (a cheap Lindy and an old Fostex), there is neither a stability loss nor a audio quality loss. Also absolutely no added latency.

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

For anyone who might run into similar problems.

My Babyface Pro started glitching out like once every 10mins after installing Driverkit 408. Didnt have anything to do with load or such, actually mostly happened when watching videos with VLC.

Going back to the driver version 3.28B fixed it completely.  Never had problems with any other RME drivers before.

Really sad that old drivers arent available anywhere as i can see? If it wasnt for that alternative 3.28B version there wouldve been no way for me to downgrade. Isnt it normal to have older driver versions availbale somewhere for cases like this?

Thanks



Running:
BabyFace Pro
Firmware v203
Driver 4.0.8

Apple M1 Pro
Macos 13.3.1 (a)


Edit: A place where glitching was especially easy to see was switching to 32KHz samplerate. It was glitching constantly. With 3.28B even 32khz works fine.

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

3.28B is not an 'older' driver and presented together with driver 4.08 in the Download section if you look for Babyface drivers.

Even when there is no way to detect automatically if something is connected there is some sort of solution. Unfortunately this is not a direct option to toggle only between Main and Phones, _but_ there is an option you can set to toggle between Main and Speaker B. So as a workaround -- when you do not use speaker B, but only phones -- you can assign the phones output to speaker B and then set the option (somewhere in the USB/Arc settings -- I am not at a system with TM now --  so just out of my head...)

@RME: it would indeed be great when you could add the option to toggle between Main and Phones as well :-)

Punchipum you may consider buying an ARC USB then you can save the Babyface buttons and use the ARC.

Hi, I'm noticing an interesting glitch with TMFX. If you listen to a mono recording, like the one I'll post below, with 'MS Proc.' on Software Playback 3/4 into Phones 1 and move the Software Playback 3/4 fader up and down, it creates signal in the side (right) channel for Phones 1.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=j3-Mv … ture=share

Please listen to that or perhaps any mono track, set software 3/4 on Windows 11, 96kHz, to MS Proc., move software 3/4 fader, observe signal in side (right) channel of Phones 1.

Kind of a weird one but it was messing with me thinking these recordings from 1938 had stereo effects. Thanks.

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

Hello!

@Hexspa
No, not a glitch! It 's doing what it 's supposed to do! smile

M/S Processing, stands for Mid/Side Processing, not for Mono/Stereo Processing.
So Mid, is the information in the middle of the stereo field and Side, well, on the sides of the stereo field.
It is a special recording technique which is very well explained in the manual! smile

No, I know that. I know what mid side is and I know how it works (more or less). The issue here is not that mid is on the left and side is on the right. It's that, when playing back a mono source, moving the fader in TMFX *creates* side *noise*. The fader is creating signal where there is none in the source. That is distortion and the TMFX faders should not add anything to the signal. If it was a cheap analog mixer, I'd understand but a digital mixer should not add noise when moving the fader.

It seems like there are solutions but if you don't want to implement them, and I'm sure you have reasons, then that's that. Here's a link that talks about zipper noise and proposes a few solutions just in case anyone is interested.

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

Zipper noise is already suppressed in TM FX, otherwise the effect would be much stronger. But as we have processing limits there is no 100% reduction possible.

Re: The official Babyface Pro Thread

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here knows whether the NT-RME-2 power supply can help me break the ground loop I have going through my Babyface USB-C cable into my speakers. It's probably due to the EVGA 2060 Super GPU, based on the sound and user reports I found online. Either way, I know there's a report on this forum about iFi devices being dangerous to work with. I've done what I can in terms of finding power outlets in my room which contribute to noise least but I can't totally eliminate it this way. The sound only disappears when I disconnect the XLR from the speaker or the Babyface from the PC. Please let me know or whether you know of any other solutions besides power transformer isolation devices. Thanks.
