Hello....
I will be running Logic Studio on iMac 20" 2.16. Korg keyboard, Kirtzweil Micro Piano, and possibly the Yamaha Drum machine.
Has anyone had experience with Logic Studio and Apogee Duet? The Duet does not have faders... looks like a knob.. Apple says it is designed for Logic...
I am also looking at PreSonus Firebox with Alpha Track USB controller..
Will appreciate your ideas.
Also... What firewire external Hard drive is the Best for audio production on the iMac? (Firewire, 7200, size GB? manufacturer?)
Thanks,
sounds2me

Sorry to intrude (I am a very new member) but I do have a couple of things I can say about Duet:
1) If you have a FW800 disk or anything else on the FW800 port (I have iMac24) Duet may not work very well if connected to the FW400 port - apparently 800 and 400 share the bus ... I found it worked well when I daisy chained it to the FW400 PORT on my FW800 Disk.
2) It seems that Duet or its drivers my have memory leaks - I find that after a couple of hours the Duet's output starts to stutter and give out all kinds of unpleasant noises. Rebooting the computer fixes the problems. I only have 2GB RAM.

Citation (lepetitmartien @ lun 27 oct 2008, 02:52)  Never heard of these memory issues before, you're using the Duet with what software? There' the Due and there's the host… ... This happens even if I use Maestro only (like listening to iTunes). I also use Logic Express 8. The port suggestion came directly from Apogee support.
