New to OB and trying to get big picture

New to OB and trying to get big picture before narrowing my focus. Thanks for your tolerance.

1] If ports are available on Mac, should the individual Elektron boxes be plugged into the Mac or a USB Hub?

2] If using OB to bring in devices into DAW, is there any reason to have audio outs from Elektron boxes into other Elektron boxes.

Possibly other questions, but still working through the threads.

Peace.

If the ports are available, go for it. No need to buy a Hub.

Which Elektron boxes?

For my part, I am using the Elektron Inputs for non-Elektron devices to ensure a tight sync between OB and non-OB devices.

I’m also using the AR mkII Inputs with my Machinedrum to compress all my Drums with the AR’s Compressor.
