RME were invited down to a Coldplay rehearsal last week (May2011) and had a chat with Miller who is Coldplay’s MIDI and Pro Tools tech, and their Web Content Producer.
Miller explains how the RME Fireface 800, Fireface UFX and the Babyface are used on the tour and in the studio.

now i know why i changed rmojas out of electrical engineering.where does ohm’s law fit into all this? i was reading that impedance is resistance for AC. sounds a bit more complicated then DC because you have to account for phase. that would make guitar signals AC? I’m not saying DI’s suck tone. I’m saying these 2 devices sucked tone. one is an active splitter the other a passive DI. neither is what i’d consider a typical DI. this is a very gear specific comparison not a general statement. and i suppose tone is subjective. some might love the washed out and definition-less tone. most won’t. that’s why i posted the audio. choose for yourself.going back to ohms law I = V/Z (and my failed attempt at electrical engineering). going from high Z (impedance) to low Z would require a drop in voltage or current. So you may be right, and i wrong, about input levels. but i really don’t like to step down from my god podium and later i might send locusts. watch out.i don’t get what you are saying about the nirvana stuff. you aren’t saying he was out of phase right? because i can’t figure out how that would happen. you need 2 signals for phase issues. you’re just saying he liked that tone?
