Ready for OS X El Capitan

12/2015 Compatibility to Mac OS X 10.11

Due to the big number of incoming questions about compatibility of RME audio interfaces to Apple’s latest Mac OS X 10.11, also known as El Capitan, RME would like to point out that RME drivers work without known issues under 10.11 as well as 10.11.1. Also note that RME did not have to change or modify drivers for El Capitan, which is a statement in itself on RME’s code quality and driver design.

RME FireWire interfaces are also fully supported and continue to work with 10.11 and upcoming OS versions. There has been some confusion generated by Apple no longer supporting their own FireWire Core Audio driver, causing some well-known audio interfaces which relied on this driver to be no longer supported from 10.11. on. RME is not affected by Apple’s decision as RME develops their own drivers for all devices, and FireWire as such is and will stay supported from the operating system in the foreseeable future.

New MADI products

01/24/2013 RME announces five new MADI products at NAMM show

Being an early adopter and pioneer in MADI technology, RME developers have always been dedicated to making the open protocol compatible, stable, and affordable for their customers. Among the first devices that were released for the widely adopted technology were the ADAT and AES3 (in Europe also known as AES/EBU) converters ADI-642, ADI-6432, and ADI-648, as well as the MADI Bridge and MADI Converter, which have gained a reputation of being unmatched in terms of feature set and reliability in over a decade. RME thus made MADI more popular than any other manufacturer.

This year, RME updates the digital MADI converters of their Premium Line, announcing five new products in a striking new design, which are presented at the NAMM show: the new MADI Router, the ADAT Router and ADAT Converter, and the AES3 Router and AES3 Converter.

Fireface UCX

01/24/2013 RME extends Class Compliant mode of Fireface UCX

Now that Apple officially allows multichannel playback (since iOS 6), the latest iPads got more powerful, and more and more apps support more than 8 channels (or at least have announced to do so soon), RME extends the 8 channel CC mode of the UCX to all existing 18 channels by firmware 220/4. The UCX SPDIF and ADAT I/O can now also be used without limitations.

HDSPe MADI FX

09/01/2012 RME HDSPe MADI FX starts shipping.

The new HDSPe MADI FX is now available. The 390-channel PCI express card marks a new milestone in the history of audio interfaces. Such a high performance multi-track system and advanced MADI router has never existed before!

Three MADI I/Os - two optical and one coaxial - one AES/EBU I/O and one analog monitoring output. Plus Word Clock connection and four MIDI I/Os. A third optical MADI I/O is optionally available.

To guarantee RME's unique low latency performance the card introduces a newly developed modular Hammerfall Pro Audio Core. The core processes three times as many channels as before, but actually reduces the system load and enables ultra-low latencies down to 32 samples.

The included high-end digital mixer not only uses the card as powerful MADI router, with separated level settings for each routing. The 192 kHz effects engine also provides numerous latency-free hardware effects like EQs, Compressors, Reverb, and Echo.

State-of-the-art fail safe operation: the new RME PCI express flagship provides 64-channel recording with seamless redundancy. As soon as the current input fails, one of the other two inputs is used. Switching the inputs takes less than a sample.

10/12/2011: RME distributor Audio AG donates 40.000 Euro to Help e.V. for recovery of business owners in Ayukawa after the earthquake disaster in Japan.

Partner for Japan project is JEN.

The money for Audio AG's supported project is for reconstruction of the local business structures in the commercial Avenues in Ayukawa, Ishinomaki City. Business operators will be provided with basics like temporary buildings, necessary equipment and most basic store fixtures to allow them to proceed to smoothly re-start or start the business.

RME releases "Splitter"

09/14/2011: RME releases multi-channel WAV file batch processor software to split UFX recorded files

RME releases a free multi-channel wave file batch processor software that allows to process files generated by the Direct USB Recording (DURec) of the Fireface UFX.

Most digital audio workstations can import multi-channel wav files generated by the UFX directly into their projects. The need for the special RME tool arises from the fact that standard wave files can not be bigger than 2 GB to be fully compatible. With higher track counts and longer recording times DURec therefore uses multiple consecutive files. Importing these into typical DAWs requires the user to adjust and align the content of each file to the previous one.

The RME tool adds an easy way to combine and split multichannel interleaved files from the UFX into single or dual channel files. The content of consecutive files is automatically combined into a single file. In the rare case that these again exceed the 2 GB limit the tool automatically writes RF64 files. The Mac version can also write CAF (Core Audio Format) files.

RME's Multichannel WAV File Batch Processor' can also perform multiple conversions of different recordings. Once all the single tasks are set up the software will process them one after the other automatically, hence 'batch processor'. The software is available for Windows and Mac OS X and can be downloaded and freely used from the RME website.
