The RME Babyface Pro FS is a professional USB audio interface. The device is fully configurable in software, giving you complete control over all audio inputs and outputs.



==Specifications==

==Installation==
The RME drivers and TotalMix software are installed on all our lab computers as part of the [[System Image]].

==Configuration==
We recommend using the TotalMix software to configure your device, instead of using the controls on the device itself. This way, you can save and load your settings, giving you consistent results for all your experiments.

Ask the TSG for help configuring your device.

⚠️ '''NEVER''' turn on 48V (Phantom Power) on any input channel unless you are sure you're using a compatible [[microphone]].



==Usage==
# Open Totalmix FX from the start menu or the tray icon.
# Load your Workspace (File -> Load Workspace)
# Load your Snapshots (File -> Load Snapshot)
# Select your snapshot; Check channel configuration
# When using (a) microphone(s) to record participants; adjust the gain on the input channel to compliment their speaking volume.

⚠️Input gain is set by the Gain knob; '''NOT''' by the input fader (slider). The fader only controls how much of the input gets routed to the output (e.g. speakers or headphones).

New page

For data security reasons, we generally advise against using the built-in recording options in Microsoft Teams (or similar software) when wishing to record e.g. an online interview with research participants.
Instead, you could record the session locally, with [[OBS Studio]].

⚠️ '''ALWAYS''' check with your institute's data security guidelines/steward/officer if recording is allowed.<br/>
⚠️ '''ALWAYS''' get explicit consent from all people involved in the call before recording.<br/>

==Configuration==

===Scene Setup===

# Set up a new scene with Desktop Capture (see [[OBS Studio#Configuration]]).

===Audio Settings===
# Goto File -> Settings
# Goto the Audio page (sidebar).
# Set "Desktop Audio" to "Default".
# Set "Mic/Auxiliary Audio" to your microphone.
# Click "Apply"; Close Settings menu.
# Check audio levels in the Audio Mixer by playing some music on your computer and speaking into the microphone.

Desktop Audio (what you hear) is used to record everyone else in the call.<br/>
Your microphone is used to record your voice, as this is otherwise not included.

====Notes====
* You may need to turn off Exclusive mode in your microphone settings, as it needs to be accessed by both Teams and OBS at the same time:
*# In Windows 10/11: Open Start Menu and type "control panel" -> Open Control Panel.
*# Select View By: Small Icons.
*# Click "Sound".
*# Go to "Recording" tab.
*# Select your microphone and click "Properties".
*# Select Advanced tab.
*# Uncheck "Allow applications to make exclusive control of this device".
*# Click "Apply" and close all settings windows.
* Ideally, set your desktop volume to 100%. Otherwise, the desktop audio will be very quiet in the recording. We recommend using an external headphone volume controller to adjust your headphone volume. </br> Most [[Audio Interface]]s have independent volume control for main output and headphones.
* Optionally, you can configure your track routing to record desktop audio and your microphone on different tracks. See [[OBS Studio/Recording Multiple Audio Sources#Track Routing]] for example.

==Recording==
# Click "Start Recording" to start recording when you're ready.
# Click "Stop Recording" to stop recording.

The recorded video file can be found in the folder you selected before. You can open said folder via File -> Show Recordings.

⚠️ '''ALWAYS''' let people know when the recording has started and ended.

 FFmpeg needs to be run from the command line, but you can create batch scripts to automate the process for multiple files. There is also a plugin for Python (https://pypi.org/project/ffmpeg-python/), but it is fairly limited so we recommend using subprocess instead (see example below).

 If you wish to capture motion with a Qualisys system, please contact the TSG. They will assist you in determining which system is best suited for your needs and, when available, will set it up for you in one of our research labs.
 A training session with [[Erik van den Berge]] is required before you can use the system.
 ===LSL===
 Data from QTM can be streamed in real-time, as well as in playback-mode, via LSL using the [https://github.com/qualisys/qualisys_lsl_app Qualisys LSL App]. Only labeled markers (3D) and rigid bodies (6DOF) can be streamed over LSL.
