if your RME fireface is a analog converter, then it may or may not be able to be calibrated. What do you need it calibrated to?


I use the Fireface 800 AD/DA with Logic 7.1.1 I have always noticed a signal in the RME Mixer about 8 DB hotter than the levels showing in Logic. This includes the waveform drawn for visual refernce. I always assumed this was just another problem with Logics metering( no intersample readings and inaccurate). If i could calibrate both mixers Logics and the Fireface so the meters read the same that would be fantastic.
