DSP fx… anyone else notice this?

[normonster]

I use a Steinberg UR22C and Steinberg’s dsp fx.

Seeing as I sit here with my DAW laptop off while I work all day I decided to route my audio, etc in such a way that I can use it to play/amp myself without the laptop.

Amazingly, I have noticed that whatever dsp fx setting I last had going on the laptop somehow gets loaded onto the interface and remains audible when used without the laptop.

Anyone else notice this?

It would be a great feature if you could switch it off from the UR.

Obviously, the FX are not housed as software in the computer, but remain hardcoded into the interface.

Is that true? The computer program is just to control software that lives on the actual interface?

News to me!

Audio interfaces have had built-in DSP since the days of the Turtle Beach Multisound in the early 1990s. Not all of them, of course, but a significant number have DSP in the interface.

Very cool. You’d think by now there’d be an option to turn it off from the interface.
