Stereo Tool is treated like any audio source and sink within the DHD Core. Stereo Tool send-and-return can be used like any other I/O.

Audio Flow and Latency​

Stereo Tool introduces, depending on the selected processing, a significant amount of latency. Just as any other external On Air processor does. We recommend to use it only as a bus processor.
