| Gosh, looks like despite its lack of 2 headphone outs, I'll have to buy one for my MacbookPro as a remote rec setup
Flecther words:
"(...) It's so scary good we just hope they don't build 8 and 16 channel units of it while we still have Rosetta-800's and AD-16x's and DA-16x's in stock!!!"

About my obsession with the 2 headphone outs:
years ago i wrote a letter to apogee telling them that was the only thing missing in the Mini.Me. I think they got it right with the ensemble (who implemented it), but for some reason, they missed it again with the Duet, the apparent substitute to the MiniMe.
I know you can get an small, active, batt powered headphone amp to drive 2 cans and connect it to the Duet, but that makes the whole thing not only more expensive (that headphone amp costs around $300), but also breaks the elegance and simplicity of the (Apple designed?) Duet.
Was it that difficult to understand it would have made the Duet the perfect professional VO/performer mobile recording system?
Take a look at my avatar: say she is adding overdubs to some pre-recorded tracks, therefore she needs headphones, and me, the engineer, as well. Just a pair of outs, not much to ask. |
