I don't think that generally speaking RME products work better with old-Jack vs. Pipewire doing the Jack thing too.

The RME Digi was a discontinued model in 2006 when I bought it. I might be the only person around still using it in Europe. Haha.

The more recent RME HDSP cards (PCIe) are also old already.

The Fireface 400 (Firewire, not PCIe) seems to work well with Pipewire directl.

The modern RME interfaces with USB class compliant mode should work well with Pipewire. (TotalMix however cannot be used in most of them, except for the UFX II which is supported by Oscmix.)

Apparently, the #RME #Digiface #Dante recently got a firmware update allowing for an USB class compliant mode and operation with #Linux.

I just found this out. This is great news. Don't have the time to test the Digiface Dante with Linux at the moment… it was a bad investment anyways.

🧵 … but anyways, always make sure to have #Ardour with you for some multitrack recording… via #Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS), this time… Dante Controller took almost 50% of the CPU of this old #MacBookPro 2017. Due to some unforeseeable changes I had to switch DVS to 32 channel mode in order to record 19 channels.

I'd feel much safer with my #RME #Digiface Dante setup running with a #MacMiniM1 (and Ardour), but budget-wise not even a MacBook Pro 2017 is properly paid on this gig.
