How do I use effects such as EQ or reverb on live inputs I'm monitoring with CueMix DSP?

CueMix DSP itself does not provide effects processing, so you have several choices:

• Bus the live signal to your host audio software and apply a plug-in effect.
• Bus the live signal to a hardware reverb or other effects unit that is connected to your 24I/O as a send/return loop. With CueMix DSP, this loop has the same near-zero latency performance as one of today's latest digital mixers. With plug-in effects such as reverb, you can actually combine a little of the dry CueMix signal together with the processed wet signal.

Can I use my original 2408 with the PCI-424 card included with the HD192 core system?

Yes, older legacy MOTU Audiowire interfaces (2408, 2408mkII, 1224, 308, 24i, 1296) are fully compatible with the PCI-424. Even the new Cuemix DSP and synchronization features can be used with legacy interfaces.

Can I buy a HD192 expander to use with my PCI-324 card?

No, the HD192 only works with the latest generation design of the PCI-424.

What is the difference between a core system and an expander?

A core system includes the PCI-424 card and Audiodesk software.

Can I plug my MOTU FireWire audio interface into the PCI-424 card?

No. Like the PCI-324, the PCI-424 is an AudioWire interface only.
