Freqport FreqInOut Outboard Processor

Love your outboard gear? Want to run audio out of your DAW, through the rack, and back to your DAW? FreqInOut makes it easy -- and solves the latency issues!

The Freqport FreqInOut FO1 is a user-friendly hardware interface with 4 audio inputs and outputs that connects to a computer via USB-C. FreqlnOut allows users to seamlessly integrate outboard audio gear directly into preferred audio software, via its hardware matrix. Simply put, it lets you run outboard gear as plug-ins -- without adding latency!

The FreqInOut is perfect for engineers and producers wanting to use outboard gear with least amount of hassle, removing the complexity of routing and cabling setup, removes inconsistent timing issues when recording, and enables you to process multiple signals simultaneously.

Finally, the interface is expandable and allows you to add four or eight more I/O features a Mid-Side mode, a Hardware Mix for parallel processing, and sports top-tier ESS 32 bit converters with support for up to 192kHz sample rates. FreqInOut turns your outboard equipment into plugins in your DAW!

How does it work?

The FreqInOut couldn't be easier to use. Just plug it in with a single USB cable, install the software, power up, open the interface, and connect your outboard equipment, and get to work! All the complexity in setting up external effect and instruments inside your DAW has been removed.

The built-in hardware Matrix allows you to reconfigure the signal flow through your outboard equipment and does so without adding latency. You can even capture your hardware settings by scanning a QR Code and create a custom skin inside the plug-in. Pretty cool, read more right?

With FreqInOut, you can bring all you real outboard processors, effects and instruments into your mix effortlessly. Whether enabling M/S mode, utilizing Hardware Mix for parallel processing, or fine-tuning your gain staging, the Freqport FreqInOut Fo1 interface lets you do all that and more.

Multiple analog processing circuits allow you to process more than one audio signal at the same time within your workflow, something that is impossible with single-circuit analog processors.. It all adds up to a unit with improved efficiency that will save you time.

Easy DAW Integration

The FreqInOut is easy to integrate to any DAW in your computer. You can even connect 2x FreqInOut boxes for 8 channels. Install the FreqInOut Plug-in, connect your outboard equipment to the FreqInOut hardware, and then simply open the FreqInOut plugin in your Insert, Send or Instrument channels. The hardware will now appear as a plug-in in your DAW, eliminating all the setup hassle, latency, timing issues, and complexity -- enabling you to use your outboard gear directly in any project and setup.

Adding new features to your equipment.

The FreqInOut also contains a hardware mix, making it possible to create a parallel mix of any hardware gear connected, by mixing wet and dry signal paths. You can also enable the M/S mode from the FreqInOut plugin to work in stereo or mono only. Open your camera, take a photo of your connected equipment and the settings, and turn it into the skin in the plugin.

The Matrix

Use the built-in hardware Matrix that allows you to effortlessly reconfigure the signal flow through your outboard equipment, without adding latency. Whether you're crafting new sounds or refining your mix, the FreqInOut gives you unparalleled flexibility and control, letting your creativity flow without technical limitations.
