General

The HDSPe RayDAT is a 72-channel PCi express sound card for recording, production and mastering applications. A unique feature of this RME PCi card is the fact that S/PDIF and AES/EBU (XLR) are operational simultaneously, thanks to separate hardware and recording/playback devices.

RME's RayDAT has four optical ADAT inputs and outputs, S/PDIF I/O and AES/EBU I/O, providing you with a total of 36 channels of inputs and outputs. The audio interface also features MIDI I/O and includes TotalMix software, a DSP mixer/router with a stunning 2,592 channels.

When it comes to audio quality, AD/DA conversion and latency, the HDSPe RayDAT offers quite the performance. As such, it's ideal for recording, music production and mastering studios.

Top Kaart.
Veel mogelijkheden.
Wel even wennen qua interface.
Moest erg veel zoeken in het begin, door de ietwat indrukwekkende mogelijkheden en niet al te geweldige handleiding.
Maar na wat stoeien kom je er wel uit.
Latency is top. Ik gebruik op dit moment 2x 8 kanaals ADAT en een 2 kanaals ADAT tegelijk. en dat gaat prima.als je meer Audio sporen nodig hebt is dit je kaart.

Ik had dringend meer inputs en outputs nodig in mijn home studio. Deze RME werd mij warm aanbevolen op verschillende fora. Heb er helemaal geen spijt van.
Kreeg de kaart inderdaad binnen de 24uur in de bus. Onmiddellijk in mijn PC gestoken, drivers geïnstalleerd, een paar adat's aangesloten, en violla, 36 inputs in mijn DAW.
Geen pops, perfecte sync en (bijna) geen extra workload voor mijn processor.
Het is ook niet nodig om de RME break-out kabels los te bestellen, want deze zijn inbegrepen.
Toch enkele punten om op te letten:
drivers installeren is net iets anders als in de handleiding beschreven staat, maar het forum van RME staat vol met nuttige tips.
de achterkant van mijn PC heeft nu wel echt veel draden komen en gaan. Toch iets om rekening mee te houden, vind ik.
Maar voor de rest echt super!!!

Geweldige hoeveelheid inputs voor z'n geld. Als ik ooit meer nodig heb, beschik ik wellicht ook over de bijbehorende fondsen ;-) Woensdag rond 17:00u besteld en idd donderdag 11:00u binnen. Meteen geînstalleerd. Nieuwste driver en firmware opgehaald bij RME en deze ook geînstalleerd. Was meteen goed en stabiel. Het settings scherm week af van de handleiding, vrijdag 19:00u even gepost op RME forum, 22:00u een antwoord (!) alsof ze nooit slapen, LOL. Total mix is een hele mooie aanvulling als je monitor mixes in de studio moet optuigen (alles naar alles te routen tot oscillatie aan toe, dus let goed op wat je doet). Het kan wat overweldigend en verwarrend overkomen, totdat je het (eigenlijk heel simpele) concept begrijpt. Kaart beschikt over eigen klok. Als je niet al een hele dure klok hebt, gebruik deze. Hij is erg goed, soepel in gebruik en vergevingsgezind. Mijn specs: AMD X2 3800+, Gigabyte GA-K8NF9-Ultra, nForce4, 2GB RAM, XP SP3, Cubase 6.0.3, Yamaha 01v96, Yamaha i88x. De nF4 chipset had ooit problemen met PCI kaarten. Met een PCIe-kaart, is dat probleem niet meer. Wat mij betreft een absolute aanrader.

RME TotalMix FX 4 All

Most people will be familiar with RME sound cards. Not surprising, as they've been around for about thirteen years now. Usually, older software and hardware becomes dated or obsolete after a while, but RME clearly disagreed with that phenomenon.
