I apologize; there are indeed two 20x2 low latency mixers available in the Ensemble, while Metric Halo interfaces offer seven or eight (depending on dsp usage) configurable mixers with anywhere from mono to 7.1 channels. I can't find any info on your mixer latency- could you share that?

When it comes to reverberation and other types of delay based effects, keep in mind that the latency of FireWire is not an issue at all. So you can still use your favorite plug-in or standard Logic effect and add that to the low latency mix.
But this would be a problem for eq or compression, which can be done within the dsp in Metric Halo interfaces along with the rest of our 2d and optional +dsp plug ins.
