I was instantly impressed by the quality of sound compared to the mbox, remixed almost every track I had previously done. Had it for a few weeks and haven't had time to setup a proper booth but the few recordings I did make in an open room sounded much clearer or cleaner than the MBox. Build quality is similar to that of the mbox very rugged metal construction, but the babyface is much sleeker and appealing to the eyes with a simpler design. Service at zZounds was incredible and the main reason I am now a loyal customer( that and their price match guarantee! )
Sound
Great, fell in love with how well all the dynamics came together and how clearly you can hear all the nuances in the different frequencies.
Features
TotalMix FX has kept me quite happy after the learning curve of it all, I am quite content and always happy to open up the studio for work.
Ease of Use
The Babyface itself is pretty much clean cut as far as in and outs are concerned but the TotalMix FX definitely requires some time to get used to.
Quality
Overall seems very well built(should be given the price tag!). No issues or concerns as of yet!
Value
I think the price reflects the quality of parts and the extra features as well as the added support and peace of mind that comes with purchasing an RME product.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with RME but I guess that's a good thing, their drivers truly are stable and much more reliable than others I have come across.
The Wow Factor
The Babyface was truly an upgrade compared to my previous interface. I have a few pros who advised me to get the digi 002/003 but I feel that the converters in this interface are an incredible leap forward as compared to those devices.
