Hi, Yes and that is where I usually go to look for items then see if I can find a newer model then the one they are showing off in the store. I usually give them a call before I go and look at an item and get the person's name I am talking with so when I get there I can speak with them and they can show me the items. How accessible is the focus right 18 I 20 as an audio interface and Pro tools? Nick Gawronski On Thu, 19 Nov 2015, Vaughn Brown wrote:

Do you have a Guitar Center in town? And, give them a call before you
go, see if they have what you are looking for on the shelf.

Hi, Yes I do try to locate and feel the stuff but usually the store
managers tell me the only place I can find the items is on line which does
not help me very much.  For things like Avid products or any other
interfaces or control surfaces how could I locate a store in my area that
physically has the device that I could go and feel at the store?  Nick

Nick,


Have you thought about going to the nearest music store to you that
carries recording gear? I physically check out the gear before buying it
on
the spot or going home and finding a deal. Kindly,
Vaughn

Hi, I am totally blind so yes the touch screen would be useless for me.
 Do any control surfaces exist that have the 8 moving controls like the
 Digi 003 and the transport controls basically what I am looking for is
a control surface that has the same features as the Digi 003 but is
newer does anything like this exist and is it accessible as from what
you described the artist mix looks like something I might be able to use
but before I buy something I want to make sure I know what I am getting?

Hello Nick,



The Avid Artist Control surface has only 4 motorised faders and a
useless large touchscreen,if you are totally blind that is. It does
have a data wheel, don’t know exactly if this has full jog/shuttle
functionality. The Avid Artist Mix has 8 motorised faders and some
other knobs of course. If you need the jog/shuttle functionality, you
can get the Avid Artist Transport module as well, it also has a numpad
on board. They all connect through ethernet and can be clicked
together.

Hi, In reading about different interfaces it looks like the focus
right 18
I 20 and the artist Avid control surface might be what I am
interested in getting.  Should I know anything about these two
devices before getting them as I don't want to lose anything I
already had in the Digi 003 as far
as moving controls and fade and flip goes.  I also would like the
same amount of inputs and outputs of course more is always better
but not less. I am looking into getting another setup as I want to
do this when I can
still use my Digi 003 when instead I would be forced to upgrade to
something else so anything about these two different devices would
be great to know?  Nick Gawronski On Wed, November 18, 2015 6:30 pm,

Was just looking at some apogee stuff on their site a day or
two ago. With iOS the duet and quartet require ac power as it
also charges the iOS device as well so you don’t run out of
juice while working.

The duet will work on USB power but probably only with a
laptop. When
using it with an iOS device, yes, I think you might have to
use the supplied AC adapter.

Hi,




And most Apogee interfaces will also work with iOS devices,
if you are into that. I think the Duet cannot be used on
batteries unfortunately, but the One can.

Hi Brian,




Well, The Maestro software launches automatically as soon
as a Duet (or any other Apogee interface) is detected.
There are
5
tabs that can be accessed in three ways: via the Window
menu in the menu bar, checking one of the checkboxes
(which are
really like tabs) within the main window or by using
Command-one through
5. The tabs are: Input, Output, Device settings, Mixer and
 System
Setup. The Input and Output tabs feature controls like
setting the nominal level between +4 dBu or -10 dBv, mic
or line sources, etc. The devices tab lets' you set the
function of the two soft keys for things like resetting
meters or muting channels. There are several choices. The
Mixer is used for
internal routing for low-latency monitoring in certain
situations. I've never found any need to use the internal
 mixer although there are several controls that are
visible and can be easily accessed. The System Setup is
for sample rate, peak hold settings and a couple of
general settings that are usually set within the dAW.
These controls would be if you
were using it in some kind of stand-alone mode.

That's pretty much it. It's extremely simple and most
stuff is really set in the host application. I've used the
Duet to
capture some live performances where I didn't want to use
a portable recorder and wanted to record directly into Pro
Tools
with a laptop. The built-in preamps on the Duet are super
quiet and clean. It's perhaps the most basic of
interfaces while still maintaining high quality at a
decent price for that level of quality.

Hope that helps,




Slau

Hi Slau,
First of all, thanks for the quick response.  I am
thinking about buying the apogee duet.  Can you
elaborate on how to use the bistro software with
voiceover?  Is it pretty straightforward to use, or do
you have to do a lot of fiddling around with voiceover.
I heard that this software
was accessible, but if you wouldn’t mind explaining
how to use it a bit that would really help me in my
decision. Thanks Slau,
Brian

Hi Brian,




After having used Digidesign/Avid interfaces, I
switched to Apogee. All Apogee interfaces, from the
Duet up to the
Symphony, use the same software for control and that
is the Maestro software. Just about the only thing
that's not accessible (as far as I can tell) is the
main volume but there's a giant physical knob right on
the front of every Apogee interface so it's not an
issue. The controls in Maestro could probably be
labelled a little better but it's pretty easy to
figure out what's going on within the various tabs.
Frankly, once you set it, you pretty much
forget it. I've used the Symphony as well as the Duet
and I'm sure that
any other apogee interface is equally accessible with
two exceptions: The Pro Tools Duet and the Pro Tools
Quartet.
Don't buy either of those units because they use their
 own proprietary software. Any of the normal
Apogee-branded
interfaces work fabulously.

HTH,




Slau

Hello all,
Just want to find out what people are using as far
as audio interfaces with protools, in particular,
audio interfaces with accessible mix control
software.  What interfaces have accessible mix
control software with voiceover?  I am very curious
to see what people are using.  Thanks, Brian
