[RWP] Links to run Reaper from BCF2000 control surface

[Brian Casey]

Chris, ssory I only just remembered this message -- the list has been busy 
on top of my usual inbox traffic.

I have the RME UFX, which has a dSP chip to handle moniter routing, which 
basically runs at 1 milli second latency or something, but it also has 
another dsp chip for FX for those moniter mixes, but of course that's not 
accessible. It works with both USB and firewire, it has two midi ins/outs, 
and can opporate in stand alone mode controled either by rotery incoders on 
the front (not so good for me) but also by the BCF 2000 via the midi port. 
It also has a USB connection on the front, so you can record each channel of 
digital audio running through it on to a hard drive.

Technically, the thing could never touch a computer and give loads of 
functionality as a kind of digital mixer/basic hard disk recorder.

It has 4 onboard pre's with the usual line/di combo, 8 further ins, two 
separate headphones outs, and a further 8 analogue outs, with two ADAT 
connections and two channels of AES/EBU, or S/PDIF, I can never remember 
which...the xlr looking thing. Obviously there are plenty of options for 
clocking too.

I only really pulled the triggar on it as I got it from the States (I live 
in Ireland) on Ebay for real cheap as I managed to avoid import tax, but 
ever since I've been liking it more and more. I was going to go for a medium 
format mixer and some kind of combination, but as it turns out, being 
portable is the way I'm happier.

RME are quite responsive to user requests, and I did request some shortcut 
functionality for their mixer software, and they recently added asignable 
short cuts, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to address the problems I 
mentioned when requesting the functionality. They update drivers every three 
months it seems, and continue to do so for products they brought  out ten 
years ago, which is impressive to me.

That said, if it was stable, I would use anything to get audio in and out of 
my computer really! lol

Brian.
