Correct ­ it works like that, but it¹s just for Logic at this moment.

This just in from Stefan Gretscher;

That¹s 8 mono busses, actually ­ 4 stereo pairs. It¹s incredibly powerful,
IMO. My setup is usually just one pair for outputting the main tracks and
instruments to TDM, 2 pairs to act as reverb sends to the TDM reverbs, thus
unburdening the native side from it¹s most cpu intensive task, and one pair
for utility, incase I wanted to use a TDM only plug-in on a particular group
of tracks.

p.s. I¹ve also got Reason happening via ReWire. It¹s all getting kind of out
of hand in a most wonderful way...
