Earlier Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) took one of two approaches to audio signal processing: The use of dedicated hardware DSPs (such as in TDM systems), or the native processing capabilities of the computer CPU.

Logic Pro enables you to use both your TDM system DSPs and the computer’s native CPU processing resources. The link between the DSP world of your TDM system, and your computer’s native CPU processing resources is ESB TDM.
