AZ Accessible OSC for RME audio interfaces (AOSC)

[azslow3]

That is manageable.

BTW Do you still have X-Touch Compact? Just an idea... if I let AZ Controller work with Behringer instead of Sonar, then Compact can be able control Behringer as Cakewalk. Again, basic staff only, but that is also manageable.

I do not have xtouch compact right now, but if that's something we can look into, I can always get another one.  Pandemic has not been too kind to me.  I lost my TD-50 drum kit as well, but picking back up now.    Sounds like what all I really want is a baisc mixer and not al the overelaborate stuff.  just a way to know where my peaks are and stuff and make adjustments and eq and fx settings and routing as mentioned with aux sends.  If we can get xtouch compact to work as well, that would definitly be great.  I can always get one and hold it for 30 days  and see how it will work.  but it will have to come after I can verify that what we're doing is going to work.

Ok, I will keep that in mind. Preparing AZ Controller for the task does not need any equipment.

Is it possible with xair to save templates?  I thought it was.  So once a band's mix is set, it's easy to recall it.  Example, we get a good mix at a venue, and we play there regularly.  I can save that mix as a template, and recall it when we play there., so any adjustments will be monior.

Behringer app support complete save and recall. How to make that operation accessible I don't know yet.

I have X Air 18 now.  I sent email regarding use of item.  It took longer than anticipated to procure device, but I am trying to figure out how to even use string commands for now to at least mess with the hardware.  Also, I was wondering if it's possible to create web based client possibly that allows for string commands within web page to activate as  functions.  If so, I'd try learning how I can  design something in such a manner.

Hi everyone. hope all is well. question regarding this tool for RME interfaces... What models of RME Interfaces does this support? I'm considering getting an RME setup for my studio, but I'm curious about compatibility.

[azslow3]

It works with TotalMix, which is common for all RME interfaces. So basic functionality works with any device, as long as RME support OSC based controlling of TotalMix. I can only test with Babyface Pro, the only RME interface I have at the moment.

Hello. so sorry for the slow reply. wasn't aware there was a reply.
Wow! that's great to know. Do you think AOSC would work with the RME Madiface XTII and the RME 12 mic?
I know you said it should work with any interface, but just wanna make sure.
I'm planning to use the Madiface XTII has the main unit and my preamps are going to be from the 12 Mic units. Those have physical controls and can also be controlled through a web interface, separate from Total Mix. Of course, accessibility is a question mark for that interface, but I think I'll be fine since there are controls on the units themselves.
My ultimate goal is to replace my current setup which consists of a Presonus setup with 2 mixers totaling 64 channels since I have a full studio setup with drums, percussion, keys, vocals, guitars, etc.
I also have personal monitor mixers for musicians to control their own mix.
Long story short, I'm looking for something different and more stable than Presonus and most importantly, more accessible.
Then I saw what you have done with this accessible software for Windows, which is so cool! 😎
Any plans to put AOSC on the Mac platform?

Here's links to the RME gear I mentioned...

Sorry for the long message.

AOSC is just accessible OSC app. At some point, RME has considered OSC protocol as a way to control TotalMix remotely and I could use that. Please note that RME since then has switch to proprietary protocol and app for the job, that new app is not accessible since it is just TotalMix running on different computer. Also the last is mandatory, I mean the protocol technically doesn't allow running client on the same computer as TotalMix itself and so I couldn't construct a new app which use it.
RME still supports OSC in the form it was back in time, but I don't know there plans for the future. Also bug fixing in that part is definitively not in there priority list, that has prevented me adopting AZ AOSC v2 for RME some years ago, I hit a bug and they have not fixed it in time. I have not checked recently.

How good RME 12 mic can be controlled is a question I can't answer. From the documentation, it is controlled by web app, so theoretically can be accessible. But as you know, in practice web apps are rarely accessible when not checked for that by developers.

I recommend to ask on RWP and other resources if someone has or at least has tried 12mic. Especially if it is difficult return the gear in case you are unhappy.

Another potential problem can be AOSC itself. It was designed and tested with small amount of channels. Also OSC implementation of RME is paged by 8 channels by design. Controlling 64 channels is going to be relatively slow process. I mean the tool is not for live adjusting in RME case.

That is why we have targeted Behringer X32. Its console version is live capable, AOSC is used for audition physical operations and for initial configuration in this case. But the sound is not even close to RME, even in MIDAS version, so that solution is not good for recording.

I guess all that is not the answer you have expected, sorry.
