Frequently Asked Questions

The DSP is excellent for basic shaping, but complex plugin chains will still benefit from native processing power – it's a great balance for tracking and initial mixing.
Apogee has optimized the DSP for incredibly low latency, typically imperceptible during tracking, even with multiple effects engaged.
While it’s less common than USB-C or Thunderbolt, D-Sub25 is still widely used in professional studios and offers robust, reliable connectivity.
