Frequently Asked Questions
The AI is decent for general room noise, but it's not a substitute for serious noise reduction processing; it's more of a quick fix.
While technically possible, the limited I/O and automatic processing make it less ideal than a dedicated audio interface for music production.
Like most USB-C ports, it's reversible, so you don't have to worry about plugging it in the wrong way.
