Honest interface question.

I suspected that’s what you meant, but was confused as I thought we were talking about one RME interface as opposed to two running in tandem.

BTW, it would be an either or for me. Either the UFX+ with my converters and monitor controller or the Digiface with the same converters and monitor controller plus some 8ch I/O expansion.

Thanks for the clarification. Thought I’d totally missed something as it’s been a little while since I used Totalmix.

It’s just annoying that I can’t easily share my audio with my zoom clients. I read some crazy way of getting it to work on a site a while ago but there’s just too many steps involved. That’s probably one of the more important reasons I was looking to dump the 192. There really are a lot of choices for interfaces out there. I’d like a rack mounted interface with all connections in the back and won’t cost an arm and a leg. Unfortunately the Presonus inputs looks like they are in the front.

Avid Omni HD PCIe user here. After testing BC Connector and Source Nexus to bridge Pro Tools to the outside world, I've switched to Cubase 9.5 for Zoom sessions. BC Connector works but adds some latency and more software to configure. In Cubase I've created a very simple mixer with a few plugins for voice and stream processing - this integrates well with Loopback, Audio Hijack and Zoom directly.

Hi Darryl, For generally small sessions not needing MADI, do you see any advantages to USB3/TB2 versus USB2 still being used in UFX II and UCX II? Buying a USB2 interface in 2022 gives me pause, despite consensus that RME USB2 drivers are still better and faster than some TB3 alternatives. One recent thread advised skipping UFX II and going UFX+ for a few hundred more. The UCX II is currently on my short list.
