Note: there is also a TotalMix for iPad app, which is what you’ll want if you want to use an iPad itself for recording and mixing. TotalMix Remote is simply for network control (of an RME device connected to another computer on the network). Handmade pro audio equipment from Madrid, Spain.

Noting RME’s “relentless focus on driver quality, reliability and product longevity”, reviewer Sam Inglis outlines RME’s continued philosophy of designing long-lasting and ultra-reliable professional audio hardware. Appsys ProAudio is a Swiss design and manufacture company dedicated to creating digital solutions for broadcast, post-production, live and recording studios. The specially developed, internal hi-performance switch mode power supply lets the 802 operate in the range of 100V to 240V AC, thus can be operated all over the world. It is short-circuit proof, has an integrated line-filter, is fully regulated against voltage fluctuations, and suppresses mains interference. Stand Alone Operation with Setup RecallBut when you have just installed the company's driver, you will need to restart the machine, for TotalMix FX to be turned on. It looks harder to use on the inside than it looks on the outside.

Delivery Time –We cannot guarantee delivery time via Royal Mail. Whilst items shipped using Royal Mail First Class usually take 1 - 2 days, please note this is NOT a guaranteed next day delivery service. If this is a problem, please select one of our courier service options. Every component is built to the highest of standards, guaranteeing high-end sonic performance and maximum durability for studio recording, mixing and mastering applications. All of which can even be controlled wirelessly using TotalMix Remote, a free companion app for TotalMix that allows for network-control over any RME interface or sound card.

TotalMix FX, RME’s digital high-end mixer and signal router, driven by two powerful DSPs, with integrated EQ, Dynamics and Reverb/Echo effects at up to 192 kHz, plus a built-in monitoring controller.
TotalMix FX includes a complete effects system: EQ, Reverb, Dynamics & Delay However, the vast majority of TotalMix FX functions are found under the third button, labelled Chan/Mix. On the first press, this brings up a scrolling menu presenting all the global parameters for the selected input channel; settings such as mute, stereo link, polarity, M‑S decoding and so on are accessed here. Initially, I thought important options such as phantom power and line/instrument switching weren’t available from the UCX II’s front panel, because I’d expected to find them among the Mic/Gain settings accessed using the first button. Instead they lurk at the bottom of this menu, and only hove into view when you scroll down. Whilst the UCX II can be fully controlled from both TotalMix FX and the device’s front panel, if you’re in the studio you’ll likely benefit from something more tactile. With a whole host of new features as well as a front panel and user interface redesign that brings the UCX II in line with the UFX series, the UCX II has become RME’s flagship portable USB audio interface.

RME is a German company founded in 1996 by a small group of professional audio engineers and designers.What's even better is that when I opened it up inside and got a free Thomann UK power cable, I was using it instead of the existing power cord, because it has a ground wire. TotalMix Remote mirrors the current state of the host system on the iPad and Windows/Mac computers - the entire mixing state, the complete routing, all FX settings, up to the level meters, and everything in real-time. One of the most noticeable changes in comparison with the original Fireface UCX is the new front panel, which for the UCX II has been updated to reflect that of other next-generation RME devices (such as the Fireface UFX+ and RME 12Mic), and allows full and immediate access to all features of the interface. There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible. I heard immediate serious improvement to overall sound quality going out to my studio's nearfields (previously I had been using my Apogee Rosetta 200 converter as my AD/DA frontend to the old Quad-Capture). And with all the additional I/O the UCX II provides for me, I love now having so many more options now to route to and from my various hardware processors.
