[LAU] RME Babyface Pro questions

Hi, all. I'm considering replacing my M-Audio Delta 1010 an Mackie Big Knob monitor controller with an RME Babyface Pro so that I have preamps available at my desktop without breaking out my big mixer, and hardware volume control for my monitors. I know a few folks here have the Babyface Pro (Hi, Fons and Brent!) and I'm curious as to whether you're all still happy with it. I've been reading that in the class-compliant mode, which is required for Linux use), that various features are not enabled. My biggest concern is about phantom power, as I'd seen a mention that PP is only settable from the TotalMix software, which is a no-op in CC mode. I'm also interested in any "gotchas" or anecdotes about living with this unit under Linux. Thanks! -- ====================================================================== Joe Hartley - UNIX/network Consultant - jh(a)brainiac.com Without deviation from the norm, "progress" is not possible. - FZappa
