There is crossbar router/hardware mixer capability built in with a standard app. i currently run a Fedora (RedHat) Linux system (fc32) with a Focusrite Saffire Pro40. I've used linux for Music for over 10 years. The saddest thing about this is that I came to know RME because of their linux support. Not being able to do that kind of thing would make the UFX+ a downgrade over the FF800. I wrote a simple service that listens to an old midi keyboard to switch instrument input options, phantom power, sets outputs for monitoring and a few other things like that in a few hours.

I wanted to upgrade to an UFX+, but the lack of control of said interface is a show-stopper. I've been using a Fireface 800, which runs perfectly in Debian. And I think they are the best.Д«ut I don't see anything magic in stuffing bits the best way to communicate between an audio interface and a PC CPU.ДЄt most they do something clever to minimize clock jitter between their FPGA and the host CPU.Д«ut there are no secrets in the electronic world: ДЄFAIK, RME doesn't want to disclose the internals of their gear in proprietary modeД«eing en embedded systems designer, I can fully appreciate their work. You see what I mean, it's not so easy, although I also would be very glad to have Linux as alternative.Д«ut then I would still require Cubase and other ppl would require other major DAWs and VSTs. Steam for example only supports Ubuntu and their SteamOS. Linux Distribution of their own to have the control and only need to support one Linux.

When companies have to deal with things like this some companies drew already the decision to build a Thats different from the usual situations, that most people that use Linux us free software. if the customer pays quite a lot for RME hardware. You can't dictate a customer which distribution to take.ДЄt the end it comes back to you. Who is responsible for the quality, if things do not work ? How many package formats should be supported ? All major ones ?ДPKG (Debian), RPM (Redhat), Pacman (ArchLinux), Zypper (OpenSuse), Portage (Gentoo). Which kind of Linux Distribution would be an ideal reference platform ? Rolling release ? If yes: which ? Which Linux Distribution(s) would/could act as a 'reference platform' ?

As I allways relied on rme products, because of their fantastic drivers and rock solid integration, I would love to see RME provide drivers, totalmix and digicheck for linux systems.ДЄs a fan and supporter of open software, I wish RME would consider making the communication protocols between software and hardware open source! In my eyes it's a win-win: RME sells hardware and even more developers would consider RME for their projects if the software would be open.Д®ven if you choose not to release your own software for linux, please make the needed protocols open, so the linux community can take care of it - you can only win by this. The missing link for now is professional hardware support.

I am very tired of being trapped in update cycles (especially avid) and having to setup new systems every once in a while. The pro audio linux community is growing rapidly - as I could see, attending the latest linux audio conference in Berlin. Reaper, Ardour, Bitwig, thousands of plugins. A lot has been done on the DAW side lately.

I mastered about 150 albums in the last 20 years and for several reasons, the time has come for me (and many others in the music production industry) to switch to linux.

I am a mastering engineer, located in Berlin, KГ¶thenerstrasse (Emil-Berliner-Studios, Hansa Studios).
