nio 2/4 is a USB audio/MIDI interface with 2 inputs and 4 outputs.
4 phono outputs for routing 2 stereo signals to either side of a mixer, and 2 headphone outs to cue-up tracks before sending them to the mix. Nio has a microphone input and a line input for recording guitars (or any external instrument). It also has 2 headphone outputs for monitoring recordings, and further outputs to go to your main monitors.
nio includes 'Direct FX’ which run 'in the audio driver’, so avoiding the latency you experience with plug-ins.
These include:
• reverb, compression, EQ from Focusrite
• multi-FX derived from Novation’s Supernova II synth.
• Guitar FX from Overloud
