So it's small enough that I can (and have) taken it on the plane for gigs and it can be carried easily in a small padded gig bag! I have a mini itx setup in an Ncase M1 case.

I run my setup inside my gaming computer, although by far the main point of building this PC for me was music performance. That would be an added bonus to get less latency for performing with. I can only go down to 64 samples i/o buffer on either the ASIO4All or the Avid Mbox Mini I usually use. I did not know that internal RME's could go down to 32 samples! That's raging. It sounds like the main differences between our setups is the soundcard. I don't know if that makes much of a difference but. Thank you for testing Dune 2 with Redemption on your setup! Glad to hear that it is working well, and at 32 samples wow. I've overclocked to 5.0ghz on my i7 8700k and the performance is pretty incredible for a range of tasks. Oh man, imagine the odds! That's amazing we have virtually the same builds.

I hope this helps some, feel free to ask any questions you have. I purchased the 4 in expansion as I did not need the additional outs. The RME AIO has 2 add-on cards that expand the analog 2 in/2 out to 6 in/6 out. I will always recommend internal interfaces for best possible latency, but you may have reasons as to why you cannot. The 'Music Computers' section over on Gearslutz would be a good place to get others insite on the external RME interfaces. I think one of the newer ones actually beat the RME PCIe card in latency, cannot remember if it was USB, Thunderbolt or both. The USB RME interfaces are very well spoken of in general. 32 produced many pops and crackles but 64 was rock solid. I was able to run an ASIO buffer length of 64.

My previous interface was an EMU 1212m PCIe card. With that being said, I only have experience with PCI and PCIe audio interfaces as I have always been after the lowest latency possible. Oddly enough this occurred while the reverb tails were playing out as the Valhalla plugins were set to modulate the tails for this test. I did this a few times and only managed to get 2 or 3 very mild ticks (not even bad enough to be called a pop). Basically just holding down as many notes as I could with 2 hands and then moving that around. I went back and repeated the test but this time changed notes several times, each time using 128 voices. The Windows CPU meter hit about 7 percent max. I think it measures the ASIO buffer capacity. Mind you this meter is not the same as the Windows meter. The FL Studio CPU load meter reached 75 percent. My MIDI controller is a black Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer with it's outputs unassigned to any mixer tracks in the DAW.ДЇor the test I held down enough notes to reach 128 active voices.

For reference my DAW software is FL Studio 12.5. In addition I set the ASIO buffer length to 32. I also added one instance each of Valhalla Room reverb, Valhalla Shimmer reverb, Valhalla Uber Mod, Valhalla Vintage Verb and Valhalla Freq Echo on the same mixer track as Dune 2. I just loaded up Dune 2 with the Redemption patch. This is the pci-express version of their Hammerfall DSP. So basically I am now using an RME HDPSe AIO. No overclock yet, still getting everything settled. I just finished putting together an 8700K/32GB memory build in the last few days. Well my friend, we have pretty similar setups and interests. If you have Dune 2, load up some really CPU intensive patches (Redemption from the 'pads' section for example), tune down to 64 samples i/o audio buffer at 44.1khz and you'll see what I'm talking about. Are they possible solutions to my problems?

I am curious if you guys have ever used Babyface Pro or the UC/UCX line from RME. The soundcard appears to be the bottleneck in my quest for crackle & pop-free low latency high quality audio. I have heard good things about RME soundcards. I can't use the internal soundcard for gigs though because there's no analog i/o suitable for live performance, only a headphone jack and some RCA outs. I have found the internal soundcard to have less crackles & pops than my Avid Mbox Mini over USB (gen 3). I must run at 64 i/o, I'm aiming for the lowest latency possible. I still get some crackling when driving Dune 2 and Falcon pretty hard at 64 samples i/o buffer. The most current i7 8700K OC'ed to 5.0ghz and plenty of 3200mhz ram at 32gb are my power parts.

Dune 2, Falcon, and Reaktor plus many FX are used in tandem on my setup. I run a pretty involved music setup with Reaper as a DAW and many high-CPU-intensive synths for live performance.
