Regardless, the Universal Audio Arrow is the most portable audio interface with onboard DSP/Unison preamps. If that’s going to be a problem for you, then you can either consider another Universal Audio interface OR you can skip to the section on Universal Audio Satellites. Shockingly, you could probably host 2-3 plugins at the most without overloading the processor. The next question is, how many plugins do you use at once? That’s because most of us record one track at one time. The truth is most musicians/music producers would be more than satisfied with the Arrow. However, it really depends on what you’ll be using it for. The one complaint I always hear about the Arrow is its limited DSP.

The question you need to ask yourself is if that’ll be a problem.

If you’re wondering why the Universal Audio Arrow is priced so much lower than all their other audio interfaces… It’s because it only includes ONE single-core DSP processor.
