curleysound Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I just purchased an RME Fireface 400 for use with Boom Recorder. I Plan to use it in situations where the 01V96 is not an option, such as driving shots, etc. I know that it's not quite the same as a mixer, with only the one digital knob, but without the availability of a quality battery powered firewire mixer, this seems the next best high quality option. If you've tried putting an 01V96, or even a mackie onyx and a laptop onto one of those process truck trays, you'll know what I'm saying. I will own a coop or sonosax one of these days!!! Has anyone else used the FF400 in the field like this? What can you report? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I think that you will still want some sort of small mixer. Most input controls on interfaces are actually for setting the pre-amp levels, they are not "faders". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curleysound Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I don't know why I didn't think of using my 442 with this setup... Brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Just to let you know... You can use the RME FIreface like a mixer with a midi controler. Also you do not need a computer to use it as a mixer at all. Stand alone mode works fine. My friend has the 400 and it works well. I think that you will still want some sort of small mixer.
