Frequently Asked Questions
DEEP allows plugin integration directly into channels, offering flexibility, but requires understanding of plugin management and potentially increases CPU load.
While SLink is robust, a larger system might benefit from Dante for increased bandwidth and redundancy, although SLink provides a cost-effective alternative.
SQ-Drive records stereo mixes to USB, offering a convenient option, but lacks the multi-track capabilities of a dedicated DAW recording system.
