  1. Thanks. I read your reply just now! I'll order an Audient ID14MkII and compare it to the Duet. I can always send it back.
  2. Hi. Thanks for your reply. I'm still using the Duet on a 2011 iMac (with fw) running High Sierra. The last drivers are already 64bit (intel). My idea is to upgrade the soundcard for one with better converters given the advances in technology. But will a new Audient sound better than an old Apogee Duet?! I'll have to buy it and see...
  3. Wow!OK. Thanks a lot. I certainly didn't know that.
  4. Hi Would a modern Audient ID14MKII or SSL 2+ sound much better and have better pre's than an old original Apogee Duet Firewire?! I'll explain: I'm back doing some music and sound after an 8 year break. I'm an old(er) grumpy guy from the days of tape recorders, desks, outboard and ADAT's as a modern thing! Back in 2003 we got some Apogee converters (purple AD16&DA16) and they made all the difference in relation to the standard Digidesign 888's. When the studio closed down (after the digital/mp3, Idols, X-Factor pandemic that still reigns!), I kept a small setup with some not so good soundcards. Cheaper Focusrite, many M-Audio... The stuff I could afford. We always used Logic because ProTools 5 didn't offer the "composing" tools we needed. We had the ESB plug to run PT and TDM on the background! When Apogee released the Duet I bought one as it was a great affordable way to have 2 good sounding preamps and convertors. I still have it and I'm still using it. But... Am I right in thinking that new ok soundcards like the ones mentioned, will have better quality (it's been more than 10 years!) pre's and converters? Or is the Duet alright still? I know there's great new Apogee, rme and UAD stuff, but I don't want to spend that much. Thanks a lot. C
  5. Thanks a lot David. The track solution might be the best one indeed. It saves me from having to find one routed to it. Cool! Thanks again
  6. Hi I start by apologizing for the question, but this is really annoying me! I'm new to Logic Pro X after an 8 year hiatus from music. But I've been using Logic since the emagic days. I'm now using Logic 10.4.0 on High Sierra and an old Apogee Duet FW. What an amazing DAW Logic is. I like having a few plugins (EQ, metering, mono button, etc.) on my output 1-2 (Stereo Out) fader. For that reason, it would be useful to have access and see the fader at all times. But when I'm on the arrange window it disappears when I select a group/bus. If I need to access it again, I need to find a track routed directly to it, or go to the mix window. This is OK, but... Is there a simple way of always seeing the output fader without having both windows open? (Create a mini mix window just with the output?!) Sorry if it's a lame question, but it's really annoying me! Thanks a lot
