Sweetwater Minute - Vol. 145, Apogee Symphony I/O Overview

[@sweetwater]

Good question - in standalone mode, the Symphony I/O routes any modules inputs directly to its outputs. So, you could connect the digital outputs on the Symphony I/O to the digital inputs on your PC's audio interface. However, you would not be able to use the Maestro software on PC, which gives you access to more parameters than the front-panel controls give you. Hope that helps!

are the mic pres the same the duet 2 or better?

This unit has a custom Thunderbridge to consolidate your cables to your computer down to one Thunderbolt cable. Lots of possibility here.

You don't need a card you can use it through USB with incredible speeds but for recording 192K you will need to get the thunder bridge for Thunderbolt connectivity or symphony card. If you plan on recording through this as far as vocals you will need an expansion card that you can buy in the $1995 configuration which will give you 2 channel mic xlr inputs. Its confusing I had to do research.

Very cool indeed!

[@utuber65u]

Yup it does. Thx very much!

Starting from 09:17...the general understanding about the Symphony's 'standalone mode' is that the unit can be utilised as a 'standalone' converter with a PC operating with any other audio recording interface? Could anyone from Sweetwater or Apogee confirm this? I think most of us had the impression that it can't be utilised with a PC even on the standalone mode.

How would you connect the Manley Variable Mu and an analog EQ such as EM-EQ2 to the Apogee Symphony I/O convertors

[@soundkids5667]

Use patchbay

[@benjaminjayko7255]

this may seem nooby but how exactly do you get your mics into the symphony? if say you were using the preamp or 8x8 card

[@GlitchComputer]

Why didn't ya'll talk about thunderbolt and the new cards that are coming out? 2x4 card and anything happening in the future?
