In this video from NAMM 2018 Pro Tools Expert Technical Editor James Ivey talks to Brad from Apogee about the new DualPath Effects Rack plug-in system for Element and Ensemble Apogee Interfaces.

DualPath Effects Rack

Apogee has a preview their all-new DualPath FX Rack software at their booth at the NAMM Show 2018. Designed specifically for Apogee Ensemble Thunderbolt and Element Series audio interfaces, DualPath FX rack provides dynamics and EQ plugin processing that runs both natively in your DAW and on hardware-based DSP in your Apogee interface. With the ability to launch both plugin types from your DAW and link them for parallel operation, DualPath FX plugins make complicated low latency workflows easy. No more switching back and forth between different apps or transferring plugin settings to maintain a consistent sound. The DualPath FX Rack is compatible with all major DAWs including Logic, Pro Tools Ableton Live and Cubase.

When you don’t have an Ensemble or Element Series connected, DualPath FX Rack plugins can continue to run natively on your computer, no hardware audio interface is required, you can seamlessly move your sessions between people, places and workstations.

DualPath FX Rack will be available in the Spring of 2018 as part of a free software update for any Ensemble Thunderbolt or Element Series users and will be included as a free download with all Ensemble and Element purchases.
