Recent Projects: Vision Of Sound

“For nearly ten years, Apogee has helped me to realize my musical ideas. I could not imagine my studio today without my AD/DA-16X or Big Ben. Apogee’s close cooperation with Apple has allowed me to forget about technical problems and concentrate on my music only. I spend a lot of time away from the studio on the road, and at my concerts and festivals, on stage with my arsenal, I use lots of effects for my bass guitar. Additionally, I use electronic keyboard bass. Recently, I got my hands on a wonderful device – the Apogee GiO. Since this device seems great for guitar, I thought why not use it for bass and keyboards? The quality of preamp and converters are so high that it allowed me to get a quality bass sound directly from the output. Using Apple’s MainStage, I can now use my studio favorite hi-end plugins for processing bass guitar on stage and at the same time use a keyboard bass with my favorite virtual synths. Today I would be proud to acquire two more names to go with my GiO — BiO and KiO.”
