dropout), Normal (medium latency, medium change of audio dropout), and
DAW (lower latency, more chance of audio dropout).

or if the plug-in controls the PCM96 Surround without streaming audio.

sions.

I/O, the cascaded options will be unavailable. The increased channel count
of the FireWire connection lets you use up to four simple mono or two sim-
ple stereo virtual machines at the same time. There are no cascade configura-
tions available although effects can still be cascaded in the DAW. FireWire
streaming is supported only up to OS X 10.6.
