The red plugins have been around forever, they are very solid and good workhorse plugins
The AIR mode works on anything you put in to the box, including vocals, which is handy I loved my iconnectivity card. So flexible, it would let you plug in to ipads to use as instruments and could plug in a PC and Mac at the same time. Very cool box! I don't remember it sounding quite this good though. It didnt have the "air" button and the preamps were very neutral, but this one does seem to have way more headroom and it's dead quiet. Also you can use both inputs on the front for different tracks! So it's really a 2 channel interface even though it's called the "SOLO".QUOTE (Mertay @ May 19 2020, 02:26 PM) Cool!

Yes for me this seems to be the winner: https://www.rme-audio.de/babyface-pro-fs.html
But another option I guess would be to find a used Apogee Duet and use in conjunction with the one I already got - if the drivers support it. I already do this with an ESI24 U24XL to get some extra inputs. However since the Duet already has some driver issues I am afraid those would just multiply. |

The BABYFACE is a very nice unit. It's got the same quality as it's big brothers in the line with a much smaller form factor. It's so small that it's easily portable. You can take that unit, a camera, laptop, headphones and a guitar and you've got a top notch portable recording studio that's ideal for remote location recording, podcasts, live streams, etc. Good choice!
