Hi gous. I have a Mac Pro tower, so I'm stuck with Firewire. I have an Apollo 16 Firewire (love it!) that replaced my old Echo Audiofire 12. I do a lot of CV control of my modular synth from my DAW sending CV over the interface. I'd like to free up the outputs of my Apollo and create an aggregate device using the Audiofire for the CV output duties.
Is there a hit in CPU performance on larger track count projects by not using a dedicated single interface? Also wondering if using two firewire devices affects the bandwidth of the firewire bus. I have been working on much larger projects lately (100+ tracks) and so this is becoming a concern. Obviously at the end of the day I should just try it but wondering if anyone has already been down this path.
