Frequently Asked Questions

It works reasonably well, but significant latency can impact audio quality – a stable, moderately fast connection is best for optimal results.
While possible, the limited routing and smaller preamps are best suited for smaller projects or individual instruments – not a full band recording.
The effects are preset programs, offering a range of reverb, chorus, and other basic effects, but they aren’t user-editable.
