i suggest to expand my hardware. Suggestions reach from simple I/O solutions as hammerfall or soundscape and additional mixer such as Roland VM 3100 to cards as the dsp factory or pulsar. After studying the different Variations I found out for myself, that the factory features would fit my needs best, so it offers a mixer and 2 effects and the option to upgrade to more hardware I/O Since LAG 4.0 I started to love the emagic plugins. Emagic has done pretty good work. Is it possible to use the factory parallel to the plugins. Is it possible to make rootings like audio to plugin to factory to plugin and out etc. Thank you for answering questions Michael
