I just picked one up. Very nice. However, I noticed that adjusting volume at lower levels uses larger increments than at higher levels. It's....bizarre. Can this be adjusted?
Got a tip for us?

I have an Apogee Duet. While I don't have an answer to your question, I will however say that they have very good customer service and have always helped me promptly. Suggest you contact them.
Don't the Apogee interfaces use the Mac's system volume interface? If that's the case, hold Option-Shift while adjusting the volume.
They do have good service, and I did reach out. Apogee uses a logarithmic stepwise increase to the interface. When using the Mac keyboard controls, the increase in decibels will be greater at lower level increases, than when you are at higher volume levels. There is no way to change this, and to do finer, or even increments, you must use the knob.
Sorry had to revive the thread - if you didn't find the solution - here is what you need to do:
Turn off any speakers attached that the Duet is using.
Unplug the Duet USB - then Hold the Knob down and
plug the Duet back in. Wait about 15 seconds or until the
A clears. That is a hard reset on the Duet. Usually fixes
problems like yours.
Thanks. I actually spoke at length with Apogee, and the larger incremental jumps at low volumes (versus higher volumes), when using Apple keyboard controls, is by design. There is no way to adjust that in Maestro.
As a workaround, make fine adjustments to the audio source (iTunes, Ableton, Live, etc.) instead of using the volume knob.
