This in itself taxes out your laptop and through my experience aggregating multiple devices also taxes your cpu, not giving you good results. I"m telling you Max, a lot of people wouldn't mind you guys producing a different version of the Duet that comprimises the headphone out. Besides most people don't mix with their headphones. So I would love to have a four output version.
Again I think this product is leaving out the performing live musician and it's a shame.

Just my 2 cents.

In theory then, It would probably be cheaper for you to just get a new laptop where that isn't an issue, rather than Apogee make a more expensive product to fit your needs.

I think it looks PERFECT. I don't need one, but I really want one.
