QUOTE Just got a MiniMe and it absolutely blows the 828 out of the water!! 2 phenomenal mic preamps, limiting, compression (you can even tweak the ratios by opening the top of the box!) famous Apogee A-D conversion (+UV22) 96khz operation, and you can even use different sample rates/bit depths SIMULTANEOUSLY (i.e. 96/24 from SPDIF & AES/EBU, and 44.1/16 via USB). For me, the 828 is now an expensive doorstop. Scott Holli answered: QUOTE mini-me sounds very cool fidelity wise, how much do they go for roughly? I could look on the web site but what kind of outs does it have, also what is the driver system? I think I speak for everyone but please let us know how you get on DigitMus , now and as an ongoing concern. Maybe this warrants a new forum! I for one would love to follow it's progress. Holli xxx Teiwaz answered: QUOTE DigitMus, Great to hear a fellow Apogee user talkin' loud! I LOVE my AD-8000...Apogee rule, man! Maybe we should open a new thread on the subject of the extremely exciting Apogee guys and their products... :D And now for the rest... ;-) Bye. |

Thanks rickenbacker, that is a fairly hot tag but worth it I'm sure!
Could someone explain how this would integrate with a DAW setup? For example, I understand that the preamps, or outboard preamps running in at line level would give the apogee edge A/D wise.. but, how about monitoring the mix inside logic? Eg. If I was to put one in my studio tomorrow, I would presumably need to run the spdif or AES outs into something like my 2408 to go analogue D/A to my monitors  Sorry if this sounds dumb, this is new to me! Is there any advantage/disadvantage to an internal bounce inside logic/whatever sequencer compared to the digital outputs presented at the apogee? Presumably one would need similar or superior D/A for monitoring, external bussing etc to appreciate the quality of the apogee gear and work with it to mix? Otherwise I'd just be hearing the D/A of the 2408. Holli xxx PS I think I may be asking if the mini-me is a top little portable interface for tracking only or if it has a place in the studio as well, like a junior AD-8000
