So I just ditched my MOTU Ultralite MK3 in favor of an Apogee Duet 2… I just installed the drivers and setup was a snap. I already prefer the simplicity and integration over the MOTU.
I was have some clipping issues with the MOTU when record enabling a track in Logic 9. So far, the APOGEE is recording to the track exactly what I put in. Soft limiting sounds good… and now my compressor/limiter in Logic actually works properly.
It’s quite possible that I made some boneheaded error with the MOTU, but even with a factory reset (which helped) it did not eliminate record enabled clipping.
I’ll do a full review after I record a song with this new setup… but as of now I’m digging it. …and the new Variax… totally awesome for digital recording.
