How do I use the low latency mixer in Maestro 2 with Apogee USB interfaces?

With the Apogee Maestro 2 software, you can monitor inputs with almost no latency by using the Hardware Monitoring / Maestro Mixer feature. Here's how to do so for Mac or iPad/iPhone.

For Mac

First, make sure you have setup your input signal:

• Open Apogee Maestro 2. In the ‘Input’ tab, set Analog Level (+4dBu and -10dBv for Line Levels-XLR only, Mic-XLR only, and Inst-1/4" only), then set appropriate gain level(s) for your input (s).

Then, select the Mixer in the outputs:

• For ONE & Duet, in ‘Output’ tab, change source of Main Outs or Headphones to ‘Mixer’.

• For Quartet or Symphony, in the 'Output Routing' tab, Move the X for Line 1/2, or Headphones down next to 'Mixer'

Now you will hear any adjustments made in the Mixer:

• In the ‘Mixer’ tab, adjust the volume level of Input(s) 1 & 2, and Software Return (Outputs 1-2, 3-4 from DAW).

Here's a video showing how you'd use the Mixer with a recording program (DAW):

For iPad/iPhone (ONEv2, Duet for iPad/Mac, Quartet only)
