A first of its kind product, The FreqlnOut FO1 offers a simple, all-in-one solution that removes the complexities of connecting outboard audio gear. The FreqlnOut is a user-friendly hardware interface with 4 audio inputs and 4 audio outputs. It connects to a computer via USB-C. It allows users to seamlessly integrate outboard audio gear with all the setup directly in their audio software. Perfect for engineers and producers wanting to use outboard gear with least amount of hassle. "Traditionally, integrating outboard audio gear requires complex settings, cabling and latency setup and have inconsistent timing issues when recording. That requires a high level of technical skill and often lacking enough physical inputs and outputs in the sound-card". This takes time and is frustrating. It creates a major obstacle for anyone obtaining and using outboard audio gear.
The FreqInOut couldn't be easier to use. Just plug it in with a single USB cable, install the software, power up, open the interface, and connect your outboard equipment. All the complexity in setting up external effects and instruments inside your DAW have been removed. FreqInOut effectively turns your outboard hardware into DAW plug-ins.
FreqInOut includes a multi-instance powerhouse VST, AU, and AAX plug-in. The ultra low jitter audio synchronization between host and hardware ensures bit-perfect audio, while the internal, professional-grade ESS 32-bit audio converters running up to 192 kHz provide transparent audio translation. The FreqInOut Plugin also contains a hardware MIX making it possible to create a parallel MIX of any hardware gear connected mixing Wet/Dry signal paths; you also get Mid/Side functionality as well.
You can even scan its QR code from the Plugin, opening your camera so you can take a photo of your connected equipment, turning it into the skin of the plugin :)
With FreqInOut, you can bring all your real outboard processors, effects and instruments into your mix effortlessly, saving time on complex setups while adding new features like MIX for parallel processing, M/S mode, and Analog Matrix for your signal flow routing. The multiple analog processing circuits allow more than one audio signal to be processed at the same time within your digital workflow; something that is impossible with single-circuit analog processors.
