Apogee Electronics just announced Duet 2 – the successor to their very popular Duet audio interface.
The original Duet has almost become a staple with Macbook owners that want mobility with their recording rig.
Not only is it popular with those that want to record on the run, but it’s also popular with the budget minded home recording crowd.
In basic terms, an audio interface makes it possible for you to get sound into and out of your computer.
That’s it – that’s the sole purpose of an audio interface. It is your bridge between the analog and digital world.
An audio interface allows you to hook up microphones and other direct level devices such as guitars, keyboards and what not to your computer.
Focusrite recently announced the VRM Box at winter NAMM 2011. VRM stands for Virtual Reference Monitoring and this little box allows you to mix on headphones no matter where you are.
It’s been a time long honored tradition that you DO NOT MIX ON HEADPHONES! Well, I suppose rules are meant to broken, aren’t they?
Alright, engineers still mix on headphones, but usually just to check things out after mixing on reference monitors in a proper acoustically treated room.
Apogee recently announced GiO – a USB Guitar Interface and Controller for the Mac. Do we really need another guitar interface and controller? I don’t know, but Apogee thinks we do.
This is kind of a surprise addition to Apogee’s product line up, at least for me it is. I did not see anything like this coming from them.
Though, it does have some nice things that could be very useful such as having transport controls for your Apple DAW at your feet. This would help a lot of musicians that are recording by themselves. Kind of like me.
