Arturia Audiofuse Software

[Sabel Kantah]

HiI already have the audiofuse studio and I need more ins and outs, previously i was thinking 8pre was the way to go but with the functionality of the 16rig for midi control and using it standalone when I dont want to connect my computer has gotten me interested. I am however wondering if these two will play well together since the Studio only supports 8 extra ins over ADAT - is that at all patchable or will I lose 8 ins on the 16rig if I try using them together? Any input into how these could be used together without losing functionality of either or is that hoping too much?

Thanks!

The question was rather whether or not the AudioFuse Studio and AudioFuse 16Rig will work together with ADAT - AudioFuse Studio info says it only supports 8 extra channels via ADAT and I am not sure if it would even work as an expander if 16Rig was the main interface. 8Pre info says it can work as either an interface or an expander but neither of the other two says so in their info.

since im very unhappy with the arturia audiofuse (terrible build quality, extremly hot, broken knobs etc..)

i consider updating to a Babyface Pro FS ..but i have many questions. hope somebody can help me out with answers:

1) as i am "in the box" musician i only need half of the potential the audiofuse uses, but i need

a prestine audio output. Will the babyface pro FS give me the same clarity and detail on my (Neumann KH120) speaker?

2) biggest problem that keeps me from switching is, that i need a second pair of speakers connected, but the Babyface only

has 2 XLR outputs. Since my second speakers are only a pair of "grotspeakers" (active Avantones) my Idea ist, to connect

the second speakerpair through one of the headphone outputs. will that work?

Also, will the main speaker-output automatically muted, if i plug-in something into the headphone jack, or can i switch the

outputs and customize them with a button?

3) *if* its possible to enable/disable and switch speakeroutput/headphone independently can i pre-match volume-outputlevels, so

that i have a A/B effect, switching headphone-output to speakeroutput?

4) in a tutorial i saw i can customize buttons on the interface (for example, set MONO function on the DIM button etc..) will these

changes be saved on the interface itself, or do i have to run always TotalMix Software in the background as an seperate open

Window

5) is it possible to run the Babyface Pro FS with a Macbook Air M1, plugged into a USB3-Hub with a single USB-Cable? The

Audiofuse will even fail with 2 usb-cords (1 cord + a second supportive usb-cable) i am not able to run it, without external power

supply and it gets hot as hell...

1 No. The sound will be better. The Babyface Pro is a pro gear and comes with top level converters.

2. Yes. The headphone output can do this. No need to customize a button, speaker A / speaker B toggling is already prepared.

And no, the main output will not mute when you plug-in something into the headphone socket, it's not a bedside radio.

3. Yes. Adjust your volumes and make A/B comparison, no problem.

4. No. It is saved in the computer. During the use of the interface Totalmix application must be running, can be running in the background with closed window.

5. Yes. A simple USB-A to USB-C cable will work. The use of a hub should be avoided. Better connect the interface directly in a free USB port of the computer and also it is recommended to use a external power supply to support the power consumption.

thanks fr the answer... sounds good.

but does that mean, if i close in the MacOS Dock the TotalMix App - the interface stops working (loses presets)?

or is it possible to have app invisible and active in the upper Menubar. i guess it will have an autostart routine, when i boot my computer?

The circuit around, PCB and the programming / control of the chip has also impact on the resulting SNR / dynamic range.

You can not only compare technical data of one single component like the DAC chip alone.

This test was flawed. The BF Pro output SNR is 115 dB (rms unweighted), not 109 dB (see also Focusrite notifying them of 10 dB SNR lost on their 6i6). Maybe there was a problem with their bus powering USB while measuring.

Another Question. i studied the manual and it says it also runs on Apple Mac via "Class Compliant" generic driver.

Since i only work in the box and listen to music, i would hate to have those 2 Apps always visible in the Dock and

i wouldnt use TotalMix at all.

- i know for programmable Buttons i need the TotalMix software, but i guess the Basic functions / knobs will also work

in Class Compliant mode, like Volume matching and Switch from Speaker to HF, DIM etc..?
