Since we just posted a deal for Apogee Ensemble, we thought we'd update our research for the Apogee Duet.

Since you can pretty much get the Duet standalone just about anywhere, we decided to see what the most bang for your buck could get you for this great, portable A/D. We found that there are two deals you'd be interested in if you want the Apogee Duet with Apple's Logic Express 8 or Studio 8.



1. If you are looking for a full blown starter system, Guitar Center has an awesome deal on their Apogee Duet Recording Package for $899 + free shipping! This is a biggun'. Here's what you get:

Apogee Duet FireWire Interface
New in Logic Express 8
Audio-Technica AT2041SP Microphone Pack
AT2020 and AT2021 studio condenser microphones
Protective microphone pouches
Pair of Fostex PMO.4 Studio monitors
2 x Musician's Gear MS-220 Tripod mic stands
2 x 20' Musician's Gear Lo-Z Mic cables

2. If you already have a sweet studio set up using your laptops built in microphone and iPod headphones, then you may just need these two deals from Buy Pro Gear which are pretty good once you do the math:

Apogee Duet with Apple Logic Express - $624


Apogee Duet with Apple Logic Studio 8 - $895
