Frequently Asked Questions

The DSP is more about transparent processing and minimizing latency; it’s great for initial shaping but dedicated plugins often offer more granular control.
It’s designed for newer systems; ensure your Mac meets the Ventura (13.6.8) or higher requirement for full functionality, and Windows compatibility is limited.
Yes, it’s a potential hurdle; you'll need a D-Sub to TRS breakout cable, which adds to the overall cost and complexity of your setup.
