Hello, I have been comparing M-Audio's interfaces to Apogee's.
I've used an Apogee Duet for a few years now, Good interface overall, But I just recently noticed that some of M-Audio's interfaces seem to be a lot nicer for quite a bit less money..
Here's a list of things that the M-Audio (in my opinion) does better than the Apogee Duet. (I'm talking specifically about the Fast Track Pro)
So, I am wondering if I should possibly pack up my Apogee Duet and sell it on here or take it and trade it for a M-Audio unit at Guitar Center?
If anyone knows of a better M-Audio unit or they can prove me incorrect about my opinions about the Duet, I'd really love to hear your answers.
The only thing I've heard about the Duet beating M-Audio is that it delivers a cleaner and an exact recording of what you are playing, While the M-Audio 'doesn't sound as good.'
I heard that information from Butch Walker on Apogee's website.

- No Breakout Cable (This is a big plus for me, I highly dislike the breakout cable, It makes my desk a mess and seems flimsy)
- TRS *balenced* outputs, (Another very nice plus, I use KRK Rokit5's so I'm running a 1/4in cable from a unbalenced output into a balenced 1/4in input
- USB, While I do already have FireWire, USB is really nice for compatibility with other machines
- Two headphone jacks
- More control (knobs for level control)
