Productivity gain: Digital patchbay or another interface?

Lemon Squeezer 🎙️ · 4 hours ago

Hi All

I have an RME UFX III, and for each project, I would like it to be easier to patch in different combinations of external FX and recall that configuration.

I'm sure it depends on many things, but generally speaking, would there be a better productivity gain getting a digital patchbay or another interface?

With the patchbay, I can probably get away without buying another interface; otherwise, I can buy another interface and daisy-chain them with repeated AD/DA conversions.

Thoughts?

TIA

MADI out to couple of these from the UFX? https://www.ferrofish.com/ferrofish-...v=7885444af42e
You'd have 64 channels to hard wire a good selection of outboard using Total Mix to save routings.
Or a digital desk? I used a Behringer Wing to good effect in a project studio. Used MADI out to a few A32's or cheaper still some of the stage boxes that are available. Downside is its 'only' 48k max. But saving 'Scenes' is a piece of cake and the routing is extremely flexible.
