You can also launch MIO Console (running natively in Mac OS X), and use it to control the patchbay, mixer,
+DSP, mic pre gains, etc. – just as you would if your audio app was Mac OS X native.
So grab Wavelab or Reaper or Nuendo and have fun!

Routing Tips for Logic
Using Logic I/O plug-ins
Using Logic I/O plug-ins on track objects (normal audio tracks) to route through processing on the MIO is
pretty straight forward.
1. Insert the I/O plug in on the logic channel you want to process in +DSP
Figure 13.23: Inserting the I/O Plug-in
2. Set the I/O plug’s Outputs pop-up to any output other than the pair you are monitoring through. For
example, if your main mix is going out of outputs 1-2, you can set the outputs of the I/O plug to any
output other than 1 and 2 (in the illustration below we use DAW 3/4).
3. In the MIO Mixer, create a channelstrip for DAW 3/4. Assign its POST-insert Direct Out to FW channels
that you aren’t using as an inputs to Logic already; we’ll use FW 11/12.
4. Set the input of the Logic I/O plug to input 11-12 (to match the send that you have selected) and the
+DSP processed signal is now being returned to the Logic Track.
5. Insert your processing (in this example, a +DSP graph) in this channelstrip.
6. You are done!
