![]() UA Apollos? They'll have a long way to go before becoming AARM compatible in my opinion. The Quartet and Symphony Desktop are class compliant and have all their controls accessible by the panel on the interface itself so they should work 100% on any of the devices listed above. The Duet should work on the new AARM Macs right away, but because of the Maestro software, you won't be able to turn on phantom power etc, you'll have to do that on another computer first, then connect it. This is likely why Apogee has stuck with it as it is more likely to work on Intel Macs, AARM Macs, iPads, iPad Pros, iPhones. The good news about the Apogee USB 2.0 devices is they'll work on the new AARM Macs. Keep in mind, the new Apogee Symphony Desktop is USB 2.0 over a physical USB C connector, so really USB 2.0 is still used. Thunderbolt might allow you to have less latency though. USB 2.0 might seem dated, but you really don't need a lot of bandwidth for 2 in, 4 out streams of audio. You probably won't notice much if any difference in sound quality anyway unless you have really high end gear. As before, don't get the cheapest ones that are just plain garbage. Don't worry so much about them when you're first starting. working down the signal chain - as long as you don't completely cheap out in one area (like using AirPods to mix). ![]() However when starting I'd spend most your money on a microphone, then a mixer/audio interface etc. The Rodecaster (Pro) is a great device if you have the cash. If you go to the product website and it has a driver or a configuration app, then you need to check. ![]() The exception would be their field recorders (for that purpose).Īnything "class-compliant" should work with the Mac. I've never been a fan of Zoom products with respect to sound quality. Believe it or not, quite a few of them on the market today are still only doing 16 bit. Make sure that the mixer does 24 bit recording. A USB mixer will be good for live streaming, otherwise you're better to get something like the Focusrite Scarlett as mentioned.
