Apogee

Those who recently upgraded to Snow Leopard only to find their Symphony Mobile systems immobilized, as it were, are in for some good news. Apogee has just announced official Snow Leopard compatibility for the Symphony Mobile system. Good talk, Symphony Mobile users, see you out there.  

Playing and recording your guitar using your Mac may be fun in most respects, except for trying to manage playing the guitar with both hands and manipulating the mouse and keyboard all at the same time. With the goal of giving you control over your Mac hands-free, the Apogee Electronics GiO has just hit the computer music scene.  

It appears as if Mac users can still claim to have the coolest musical toys since the advent of DAWs. Following the smaller-is-better trend, Apogee ONE emerges as a pocket-sized interface with big possibilities.  

. . . well, not exactly. Apogee will continue to offer support for soon-to-be-legacy Windows-based products, unlike poor Oedipus who was forgotten. In this way, Apogee will avoid the same fate that befell Oedipus and his family, the details of which I won't go into here. Suffice it to say, the Ancient Greeks had a weird concept of "entertainment."  

We join Apogee at the 125th AES Convention in San Francisco for a look at their new Symphony 64 PCIe card. This card is a boon to the Symphony system, effectively doubling your I/O while allowing some useful networking capabilities.  

If you thought that Apogee's Symphony System already was pretty snazzy, wait 'til you see what they've got in store for the 125th AES Convention. The Symphony 64 PCIe card snazzes it up to maximum levels of snazz.  

Gearwire's Bob DiFazio joins us once again from Skybox Studios' control room. Bob shows us the three different sets of monitors used at Skybox to get different perspectives on the mix in order to get the best mix possible.  

Gearwire's Robert DiFazio takes us through the rack gear at Skybox Studios, the studio he helped outfit. Though Robert likes to keep his outboard gear minimal, he's still narrowed down a very enviable core of hardware.  

We check out studio SSL4 at Record Plant Studios where we see the SSL 9000 J and talk about some of the artists who have recorded at Record Plant over the years. Among them are Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, and recent Grammy Award winners, Slayer.
