Paul has been an avid supporter of Apogee products for years. He has countless videos on his YouTube channel dedicated to the original Duet 2. You can see one of his earlier videos below of how he set up Duet 2 to record his take on Debussy’s “Clair de Lune.”

However, the newest addition to his studio and setup is none other than Apogee’s latest USB microphone, HypeMiC. When Paul realized he could record his piano straight into his computer without the need for an audio interface, yet still retain Apogee’s signature sound quality, he was intrigued.
