Anything plug and play and configurable by output? If not, it needs to happen.You are kind of describing what menubus can achieve, but unfortunately it was discontinued. Is there any interface that works like this currently? Haven't used Apollo and the like, but my understanding is basically that they use proprietary plugs. It solves all the problems, and frankly, it's probably not that difficult to program as it just needs to add a very basic plugin stack to the existing output switching software. This is just the logical extension of that expansion. There's already a recent push to include a second monitor output, and in some cases a second headphone output on some of the more recent interfaces. That way, there's no additional switching needed anywhere, no issues running multiple plugs, no difference listening inside the DAW vs desktop, app, or browser audio, and no need to check whether there's active plugs on the MB. Switching should be as simple as choosing another output, and the interface implements the chosen stack and settings that match that output (or a choice of stacks if that output is used for multiple options such as a headphone jack). The way it SHOULD work (and it will eventually once enough people figure this out that it's worth something to hardware developers) is that the INTERFACE should run common format plugins. Switching issues aside, it's problematic that I have can opener on tracks inside Logic, but not on tracks played outside. by accident.īetween SonarWorks running system-wide, Can Opener on the MB, and a hardware monitor switcher with a variety of options, it can get hairy switching between multiple monitors and multiple headphones. Actually, I burned one too the other day.
