For us HDSPe MADI FX rev 1 users, is there any hope for room eq in the future or will the card never be able to work with room eq? Wanted to confirm before trying to sell mine and finding a rev 2 card. Thanks.

As previously requested, an option to store Room EQ settings in Snapshots would be a welcome addition, in addition to the ability to store it in Workspaces.

Sure, this thread is related for Fireface 802 FS, HDSPe and MADI FX etc...
Anyhow, I am testing the TM, Version 1.94 beta 1 macOS (2) with my "old" FF802 - A with the (latest) firmware: 20/9/9/12

Currently with the kext driver v.3.31 an Mac.

Sure, not really a bug, but after launching TM, the Popup cames up:

A newer Firmware is available for you Fireface 802 (xyz).
Please check out RME website.
(TotalMix FX is still compatible with currently installed version.)

This is great News! Thanks.
any chance for the original MADIface XT?

Best.

Any chance for the Babyface Pro/FS to support RoomEQ?

Wow! Brand new RME user here and I'm really glad that I went for the FS version of 802 less than a month ago!

Absolutely no chance.

I figured out the mono output for analog 1+2... what about the panning? Haven't noticed a pan knob on any mono channels

Oh... right
I'm just used to seeing pan knobs on mono tracks so it threw me off when it wasn't there

Thanks. Can confirm. No nag popup anymore.

Rev 2.0 is printed on the PCB.

Hey RME Team,

just wanted to shout out with the biggest thank you for your teaming up with Sonarworks and ending a sh*t load of pain.

I bought a Fireface 802 back in 2014 and was happy with this device every second I used it. At some point back in 2019 I introduced Sonarworks Reference ID to my studio. Back then with a 2.0 Setup of ATC SCM 25. Great workflow to set up the calibration when mixing and mastering and only using Sonarworks as virtual sound card. 2022 I extended my studio with a recording room. From this moment on I needed to use an aggregated sound device in OSX to be able to use the Fireface together with Sonarworks as input and output device simultaneously. This caused, depending on the Sonarworks release, more or less issues. But still the benefit for my work was bigger than the hassle.

Last week I heard of the possibility to export the corrective EQ to RME devices. Unfortunatly my FF 802 was too old. I immediately sold it on Ebay for more than 50% of the money spent 10 years ago - which is incredible - and bought a FF 802 FS. I am now running a calibrated and time aligned 2.1 ATC System with NO more glitches, pops or any artefacts and couldnt be happier. The system works a fine as ten years ago with all the benefits that evolved in the meantime.

Thanks so much! Seriously.

What are you talking about?

Don't you think that would be a bit much to ask in terms of the implementation effort? After all, you already get the Room EQ from RME for free. That makes the €89 for a Sonarworks upgrade easy to get over.

The Sonarworks upgrade is just due because they seem to have implemented a lot of additional things, that's the way it is. Not every company is like RME and Sonarworks does not sell Hardware, except the little measurement Mic.

A workaround. Get the demo version, after measuring dial-in a proper wet/dry ratio (because 100% correction doesn't sound natural anymore, for me 50% were ok). Then print it, make notes what needs to be corrected where and you have your room correction. If you want, you can fiddle around with Q-factors, there you have another kind of drawing tool ;-)

If you want to have it "isi pisi" and exported values .. well .. only €89 ...

@ Ramses, never thought of the possibility to use the trial version of Sound ID, simply because i would think that would not make any sense for Sonarworks to allow. After all its a onetime exercise to get the correction-curve and once loaded into my 802 FS there is no more need of SW. Wicked suggestion. I will try.

Not enough DSP resources to run this on the first gen FF802, so it's not possible.

I'm very excited to see the Room EQ feature added to the Fireface! I have a client who I want to upgrade from a Mini DSP that is currently connected to an old RME HDSP in a MacPro. I plan to upgrade him to the Fireface on a new Mac Mini. It should sound fabulous. It should be a big improvement.

And thank you, Matthias, for incorporating time delay into the Room EQ. I saw the demo video and it looks to me like the EQ is still in 0.5 dB steps. Do you think in some update you can give us 0.1 dB steps for very precise room EQ corrections? Thanks.
