    Thanks for the video! Couple of things. Firstly, what’s the DSP % on the Twin running at with all the plugins running, I’m surprised a Twin could do that. Secondly, I would favour turning low latency monitoring and input monitoring off when recording when all the plugins are in the Apollo. You only need low latency switched on in the DAW if using any plugins on the computer at the time of recording. So, input monitoring off, not low latency monitoring on, in that case. Thanks again.
