I discovered that Logic will only recognise ONE input device, and ONE input device only. The main problem came up when I fired up Logic X. I had to download the latest OS X driver from the Steinberg site, and the device was recognised immediately on my system. Plugging in the Steinberg was a piece of cake. I thought that I might use BOTH on my ageing 2009 17' MacBook Pro. The Apogee Duet has a Firewire interface, whereas the Steinberg has a USB interface. How then would I get 4 inputs? Well, I recently purchased a Steinberg UR22 (once again, a 2 input, 2 output audio interface) for my son. I am using an Apogee Duet, which as its name suggests, is a two input, two output device.

I wanted to try up to 4 different recording inputs! The problem though, was that I only had an audio interface with 2 input channels. Normally when I record guitar, I use two inputs - the inbuilt guitar pickup/preamp, as well as a microphone somewhere near the soundhole.įor THIS particular recording though, I wanted to try something different. In my last blog post, I posted about revisiting the acoustic guitar again, and I posted a song there called 'The Fisherman'.
