Frequently Asked Questions

The noise suppression is decent for mild background hum, but it won’t eliminate loud noises like traffic or pets. It's best suited for moderately quiet rooms.
No, the preamps are low-power and the input count is limited; it’s really designed for solo creators or interviews with a couple of mics.
You'll likely notice a slight latency, especially when using multiple effects simultaneously – it’s not a deal-breaker for podcasting, but not ideal for real-time performance.
