General information

Freqport plugins are real-time hardware based plugins and real-time rendering needs to be used in your DAW project when bouncing or recording (not off-line bounce).

The Freqport system runs separately to the main audio I/O used in your DAW. Use a Core Audio or ASIO driver as your DAW main audio interface
and ensure your project plays in real-time without audio dropouts or cpu overloads before using Freqport products

1. Make sure that Freqport products are NOT selected as audio device
2. Disable Freqport products in your MIDI settings
3. AnalogHUB.app  must have access to the microphone in the system settings (MAC) 
4. Always close all open projects/sessions before opening a new project - some DAW's may not release hardware instances for new projects unless currently loaded projects are closed first.
5. It's recommended to disable all Plug-in Nap features
