Is a *breakout box* necessary?
I just got Logic Pro, and will be using a bunch of Native Instruments Audio Units. I'll also probably be Rewiring Reason into Logic as well. Does using a breakout Box like the Duet 2 help with all this virtual-audio processing and sequencing?
Or is a breakout box mostly used for I/O?
I used to think it helps with the audio processing tasks, removing some of the load off the main processor. But I am not so sure. I feel like the limitation of the DAW setup is entirely processor, ram and disc access speed?
Thanks
