Producers: Beyonce, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Pink, Sia, Coldplay
Mark Schulman – Drummer for Pink, Activational Corporate Speaker, Studio Owner on Duet
“I love the different products…the product line is important to different aspects of my studio and live setup. When you’re on the road and you respect the art and you’re with people who inspire you it feels good to be like ‘Wow, no matter where I am I’m able to create!’
When I’m traveling and in my hotel room and want to record an idea after the show, or because I’ve met a musician on the road, using something like the MiC+ and Duet is a game changer.”
Corey Lowery – Seether Guitarist – Symphony I/O MKII owner

“Symphony I/O allows me to convert analog outboard gear back into my digital console at levels that other convertors cannot handle…There is a reason this piece is used worldwide in mastering houses, and there’s an absolute reason I continue to support it by taking it worldwide. There is an unprecedented level of trust I have for this piece and what it allows me to accomplish.”

“I use Apogee products everyday as a songwriter – I need to record ideas quickly and clearly and often need the quality to be good enough to capture a moment as it happens and there is no other product i have used that does that better than Apogee.”
Jaylien Wesley – Artist, Producer, Songwriter

“We recorded Kacy Hill “Experience” on the Apogee MiC – she ended up signing to Kanye West with that one song. Anything I’ve released has been recorded with the MiC…I love Apogee & buying the MiC was probably the best $200 i’ve spent my whole career”

Congratulations to the 58th Annual Grammy Nominees
We would like to congratulate the many Grammy nominees this year, many of whom we are proud to have as part of the Apogee family. A special mention to a few of our Apogee users who have been nominated for the 58th Annual Grammy Awards:
Jason McGerr – Musician
Recent Projects: Death Cab for Cutie
“I cannot tell you how many hours I’ve spent trying to troubleshoot my previous setup, unable to consistently record for months, chasing random problems. This entire new Symphony I/O system, superior sound and inaudible latency blew my mind after building the first session. The transparency and imaging while both monitoring record enabled tracks and playback was brand new to me, almost like I had upgraded my monitors. Clearly these converters are magic, especially for capturing my drums!”
