Hi,
I'm looking for an affordable way to upgrade my home-studio.
Currently I'm working with: Cubase, W7, Motu 8pre.
I'm quite satisfied with the Motu, for recording 8 tracks (or more via ADAT/behringer) simultaniously on location
with my macbook.
However, for recording -for example- Vocals at home (PC) I would like to have more clearity and definition.
First I thought of buying something like a ISA ONE to get the job done (via adat to my MOTU).
But after a lot of thinking... would the RME HDSP 9632 Hammerfall DSP be a better idea for the time (first things first) and money?
I expect to have better monitoring, and some reverb while singing could be a blessing for some
of my vocalists. (BTW, are the fx also accessable in mixing and mixdown, as DSP-card?)
I see the RME HDSP 9632 Hammerfall DSP is quite affordable for around 350,- on sale.
Or... is the babyface an even better solution? Is it a next step in developments at RME, or
is soundquality the same on both items? Don't need portability here, as it's for my homestudio.

I hear there's a "rocksolid clock" onboard the Digiface Firewire units... how's that with the RME HDSP 9632 Hammerfall DSP?
Same? I don't quite understand, as I always use internal clock... Would it be better to use -for example- the HDSP 9632 clock?
Or is there no difference, as long as you use only 1 card?

Or... would it be a whole other ballgame to get rid of my motu, forget the HDSP 9632, and save up to buy the Digiface?
I have the impression (as long as one wants to record only 1 or 2 tracks) there's no difference in sound between the digiface
and the HDSP 9632 DSP...

I hope someone out there could help me out
Thanks in advance! Charley
