A4+AR Overbridge with USB-Midi and Audio Outputs?

Hi there,

when starting the Overbridge VSTs there is a disclaimer that states:

  • do not sequence or sync the device directly with extrenal MIDI
  • do not take audio directly from your audio interface to your DAW

and I wonder: why?

I love the plugins for their easy access to parameters, presets, and the possibility for automation without having to look up CC or NRPN numbers.

But I don’t really want a lot of audio traffic going on over USB and the additional latency hassle that comes with it. Also I want to have multiple tracks in my DAW, one for each instrument, and not pack everything in one track.

I know I can solve this with a bit of extra MIDI routing and just ignoring the USB audio, I’m just curious WHY Overbridge tells me I shouldn’t use it the way I wanted to.

Someone has an idea?
