ReviewsAn incredible sound
by Aaron Fry from USA
This unit is nothing but amazing! I went from focusrite to the apogee duet and was blown away by the difference, never did I think converters could sound so different. Then I really wanted to take adv... read more [+]antage of multiple track analog summing and incorporated the Dangerous 2 BUS and so obviously was going to stick with a high quality name like Apogee. I am truly amazed how this system sounds now. For years I've been trying to get that "professional sound" and beginning to think only the major studios can achieve it on the Neve and SSL boards that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.....WRONG! Get some great converters like this one, there's a reason they cost a lot, they are superior quality! I am amazed that anyone that has posted thinks this thing sounds just okay. Of course you need the rest of your gear to be at the same level as well so be sure to have some quality monitors and maybe another preamp. It links up to Logic 9 as if they were meant to be!! close [-]

The first time I called in, a what seemed like 50-year old guy picked up with a warm and chilled voice in two rings. He helped me so quickly, and didn't care about the bull s**t aesthetics. They're online chat is great, their updates are easier than anything I've ever worked with. Their products, have been around for many years, and they've kept their quality and their character.
