[QUOTE="Nathan DePaulo, post: 50538, member: 509"] Re: PreSonus 1818VSL Audiobox Computer control question I spent some time on the presonus forum to answer this very question for myself, it appears that all the DSP is dependant on the PC. If you disconnect your computer your audio will cease. I found this disappointing, but the folks at Presonus seemed proud of this fact, since it kept cost down and since "an i5 or i7 processor has way more processing ability than audio device DSP" (paraphrase). They did also say that the latency was between 3-5 ms from analog in to analog out (sampling rate dependent). Not any details what system produced these results, but that's better than any firewire recording device I own. Also they mentioned there are 18 channels of DSP control in the software, so presumable (I'm inferring here) if you add 8 more channels via ADAT you can use those just like the on board mic inputs. I'm on the verge of getting this for similar application to what you described, so if you pull the trigger before I do please post your results. I'll do the same! [/QUOTE]
