Summary
This is a cool way of handling multiple interfaces without going through the pain of relaunching Pro Tools or for getting lots of I/O from a number of interfaces. One such scenario may be wanting to track a guitar via the Apollo with effects but using an Apogee Ensemble as you main interface. Or tracking guitars via Eleven Rack and whilst using an Apollo as you main interface.
In some cases the Mac will let you mix the protocol, so in this scenario we’ve got a Thunderbolt and a FireWire interface running as an aggregate device. Unfortunately you can’t do this with Pro Tools | HD interfaces.
