Hi,

I've heard a lot of good things about RME and atm I've narrowed down my search to replace my Delta 1010LT with either a Babyface or a UC.

Obviously low noisefloor/high sound quality is extremely important but I am told that both the UC and Baby are pretty much identical in this regard?

I use Cubase and I'll mainly be using the interface to record guitars and vocals, I've no need to record drums for the forseeable future (I have a Roland TD-8 kit for triggering which is decent enough)

I would ideally like to record 3 tracks simultaneously (which would allow me to double mic my J-200 and record its pickup or record an acoustic, singer and electric guitar, for example), I take it that this is a given for the UC but not the Babyface? I would happily make do with 2, and use the surplus funds towards getting a better mic than I otherwise would, if the Babyface allowed me this capability in the future. Is that possible? or would I forever be stuck with only being able to record 2 tracks at a time?

I'm also open to mic suggestions. If I was to get a babyface I could spend about £450 on a mic. If I got a UC I'd be able to spend around £200

Thanks
