I had heard about the Apogee Duet years ago. It was introduced in , and updated in May of with new software and hardware. I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my gear. I travel while recording sound effects. I wanted a way to master sound effects while on the road. The package had to be robust, and exceptional quality. It also had to be well-designed, and compact, and operated with little fuss.
I had travelled across Europe in for three months with such gear and, believe me, it was awful. Thankfully, technology has evolved. MacBook Pro laptops can handle mastering tasks effortlessly. They are sturdier and lighter. Pro Tools became hardware-independent with version 9.
That expanded the available options for audio interfaces. But which to choose? I had used Apogee gear in the past, and had been impressed by their design sense, and manufacturing quality. And, of course, Apogee is well known for perhaps the most important element of an audio interface: sound quality. The Duet provides phantom power and line level input with 75 dB of gain.
There are four outputs. The input and output connectors save the headphones are arranged with a breakout cable. The Duet itself is operated by a multi-function push-button controller knob. It also has two software-assignable touchpads, and a crisp OLED display. As you can probably tell by the input and output options, as well as the compact size, the Duet 2 was meant for mobile creators.
I think they had session musicians and DJs in mind, but field recordists can take advantage of its size and features. Businesses often become known today through effective marketing. The marketing may be in the form of a regular news. We do not support Related Articles Does Duet work with Windows?

Have you checked the mute settings in the Maestro control panel? You can turn off mute by pressing and holding the dial or in the Maestro program, or just your computer's own mute button.
