Value For Money : Excellent
- What characteristics have motivated your choice?

What motivated my choice is the sound quality of Apogee primarily to talk in general after hearing a lot of positive feedback and more Audiofanzine. Apart from the failure to take MIDI (not important to me), it has everything you need about me

- For what purpose?

Home studio

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?

Imac alu 24 inch Intel Core Duo 4GB RAM + 2 + 660 External HDD

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...

Am I plug the microphone directly on the card is I go through my six JOEMEEK q

UTILIZATION

- The installation is done it without problems?

Simpler you die

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

Huh??

- The general configuration is easy?

The fingers in the nose

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

Not even

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?

Yes

- Are they often updated?

Uh I do not check

- What software do you use most often?

Maestro + Logic 8

- What you get lag?

No latency = total integration with logic

- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...

Up to 52 tracks easily

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

2 days

- What is so special that you like most and least?

+ Small size of the product
+ Sound
+ Handling
+ Full integration with Logic

- The cables that I was looking a little fragile (it will be seen over time)

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

I also have an M-Audio Firewire 410 that I use for 5 years and has never dropped (except an update that has caused her to crash often and I'm creating the kernel panics) but otherwise is also robust.
To compare, I must say that in general the sound is more "precise" and better defined. Some sounds in securities that I listen to manisfestent last! So I rediscovered my CD collection to iTunes. I love Apple for cons I have never adhered to its iTunes and Apogee me somewhat reconciled. So is that the Apogee Duet is good for cheap! Caution M-Audio is good too but hey must admit the quality of Apogee products.

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Excellent. Policy of opening prices to enable people who do not necessarily result from budget to hit the "pro" without bleeding to death.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Not because I would buy the Apogee ENSEMBLE!
