The Babyface has an onboard mixer which makes it possible to hear the guitar all time. It's called TotalMix and described in detail in the manual.

Talkback is active.

1. Go to Options, Reset Mix, and select Total Reset.

2. Install the latest drivers and firmware from our website.

Re: RME Babyface and Reaper issue

i think totalmix has some compatibility issues with W7.I reinstalled drivers and firmware,went to options finally the total reset option was there and voila,things got back to work smile
