RME Fireface UFX III + M-32 Pro AD/DA | Oora’s Hybrid Studio & CV Control Workflow

In this video, Oora (Federico) takes us inside his Berlin studio to demonstrate how he built a complete RME system around the Fireface UFX III, M-32 AD Pro, and M-32 DA Pro. Known for his love of hardware and modular synths, Oora shows how TotalMix FX acts as a virtual patchbay, enabling seamless routing without messy cabling. His hybrid setup combines the Zähl AM1 mixer, outboard gear, and modular instruments into a powerful, future-proof workflow. Highlights include: • Fireface UFX III as the centerpiece of the studio • 32 channels of pristine AD/DA conversion over MADI • Advanced metering and zero-latency monitoring • USB standalone recording — like a modern tape machine • Sending control voltage (CV) from Ableton Live via the M-32 DA Pro’s DC-coupled outputs • Creative CV modulation of mixer faders, EQs, filters, and FX sends • Why Oora trusts RME for long-term reliability and support Whether working in analog or digital, Oora shows how RME bridges the gap for a fluid hybrid studio experience. 🔗 More about RME: https://rme-audio.de Chapters 00:00 - Intro 00:45 - TotalMix for Routing 01:10 - Fireface UFX III Overview 01:48 - M-32 Pro AD/DA 01:59 - Metering 03:03 - Studio Signal Flow (The Joy of Simplicity) 03:29 - Zähl AM1 Channel Count 03:50 - Why DA Conversion is Equally Important as AD 04:23 - Zero Latency MADI Routing 05:27 - Sending CV via the M-32 Pro DA to the Zähl AM1 05:57 - Control Voltage Workflow 07:06 - Zähl AM1 CV Channel in Action 09:57 - Works with Eurorack as Well 11:13 - RME Support & Reliability 11:35 - Outro ⸻
