Apogee Quartet for Mac
By
|
Apogee introduces Quartet for the Mac. We’re big fans of Apogee, having the Ensemble in our own studio. This will be a great addition for anyone looking for a small powerful audio interface for the home studio or for on the road. At $1295, it’s priced reasonably as well.
Quartet works with any Core Audio-compatible application including Logic, Pro Tools 9 and 10, Final Cut, and Ableton Live.
