But this also shows an issue: switching produces a loud crackling sound when you plug in/out the Duet 3. Good news is that Duet 3 works on all my platforms and it is super easy to switch between my computers.

I wanted a product that I could use on my 3 computers: Apple Mini M1, Apple MacBook Pro, Windows 10 desktop. It's a shame, because the audio quality is great, but it's just not worth the aggravation. It's been a poor user experience overall, and I'm sad to say I'll be selling the unit. My impression is that the Duet 3 is not completely stable, and suffers from minimalist design taken too far.

I keep all the software/firmware up to date (running M1 Pro MacBook on OS Monterey), but I still have to regularly unplug it/plug it back in because it disconnects or stops running the sound if I leave my computer for too long. This was an issue at times with the Duet 2, but it's even worse with the Duet 3. The second big strike against the Duet 3 is the buggy firmware. I might as well have bought a bunch of good preamps, it would be the same user experience. So because of these issues, I really need to keep the Apogee Control 2 software open on my desktop permanently, and I control all my levels and functions from here (I almost never touch the interface). There are basically no controls on the Duet 3 besides gain/level adjustment. These were really handy, and I used then all the time on the Duet 2. There are no numbers, and things can get confusing and irritating pretty quickly.Īlso disappointing is Apogees silly decision to remove the assignable function buttons from the interface (for mute, dim, mono etc). There's a single left and right meter for either mic/instr input level (which combine for stereo playback). This has proved very fiddly and annoying, especially when setting mic/inst levels. The Duet 3 uses a small purple LED dot to indicate whether you're controlling speaker, headphones, or input 1/2. However, after several months of using the Duet 3, I must admit defeat.I hate this audio interface.Īlthough the Duet 2's design was minimal, at least it had proper visual feedback on the unit (you always knew what the knob was controlling). I previously owned the original Duet and Duet 2, and really loved using them. Check on the Apogee website for details.When I upgraded my MacBook earlier this year, I had my heart set on the Duet 3. The software will be available in November 2017. All the same functionality currently available to Mac and iOS users will be available to Windows 10 users and the same interface can be used on either Mac, PC or iOS.
