I hate it when my students and clients tell me of their sub-par, disposable interfaces and their struggles with intermittent connections, bad converters, driver issues and a lack of headroom. Don’t they know that pro-level performance and durability doesn’t cost a fortune and is worth the extra initial outlay? Case in point, the RME Babyface Pro. For $749, you get no-compromise, bus-powered operation, a solid aluminum chassis, up to 192 kHz capable, two excellent mic preamps (digitally controlled, individual 48V phantom, relay-driven pad, 76 dB of gain) on XLRs, two more line inputs on 1/4-inch XLR outputs, eight channels of ADAT optical in and out, SPDIF optical I/O, direct latency-free monitoring, MIDI I/O, headphone outputs on both 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch, professional audio quality and some of the best control software I’ve ever seen.
