The bought standalone model can work with a number of channels in Wave Hyperlink and/or in any program that accepts VSTs or AU plugins, each for stay functions and post-production, as I’ll element forward. For a restricted time, this standalone Voice Focus as a standalone VST/AU is accessible «free» (i.e. included) if buying Elgato’s new Wave Mic Arm MK.2 immediately from Elgato.
