I am the proud owner of a RME Fireface UFX. I can't think of ever using anything else, it is that good. Of course I add other stuff to it for extra inputs, like the Tascam US 20X20, 16X08, and the ART MPII via AES, but the UFX remains the centerpiece of my operation.
I operate in a commercial capacity recording full bands with full drum sets, amplifiers, keys, etc... I have plenty of inputs, can send individualized headphone mixes with zero latency to all the musicians using the TotalMix software. I have used all 30 inputs simultaneously without a hiccup.
I love this gear and would immediately replace it if I lost this one for whatever reason. Although if that happened I might go for the UFX Plus next. Bottom line is that I highly recommend the RME line of products. I love them and will never look back.
