Questions & Answers for Apogee ONE USB Microphone and Music Interface

ONE has Apogee Conversion built in, and it also has an Apogee Mic Pre.
You can't really beat that at this price range.
Their website has samples and videos recorded with the built in mic.

Output is stereo via a standard 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone jack (aka "stereo mini-jack"). This can be connected to a pair of headphones or powered speakers. You could use a Y-cable (or similar adapter) to connect two outputs, but the "ONE" will still see it as a single audio output.

The "ONE" supports three audio inputs, but you can use only one at any given time.

-built-in mic

-external mic via the XLR jack on the breakout cable (the "ONE" includes an excellent pre-amp, and provides phantom power if required by the mic)

-guitar or other instrument or other "line in" audio input via the 1/4" (6.3mm) female Hi-Z TRS jack on the breakout cable

You can choose the audio input both through the Maestro software, and with the silver control knob on the device itself.

Although I don't disagree with the previous answer to this question, someone (not me) made this device work with an iPAD. Check this out on Youtube under

Sure
Some people use the audio track from the camera to match up the wave form of the audio track recorded in garage band. Then when you lay out the video track; delete the camera auto track and keep the matched up garage band audio track.
I have seen devices running at different speeds on low end devices that don't use a n internal clock; so you might need to stretch the the audio track a little.

You can't. It's a single input device, hence the name. I'm using mine in preference to my two input firewire 410 because of the ease of use and the quality of the sound I'm hearing in my recordings. In other words, no drawback for me

No. ONE has a built in mic pre. Just turn up the gain accordingly and you'll be set.

Yes, the MPC 1000 has a USB slave output port on it. Read through your Akai user guide, or just look at the MPC, and you'll see a USB port. All you need is a regular USB cable (The MPC connects to Macs and PCs).

The One is a fantastic piece of gear. The breakout cable is not. The first one I had was dead on the mic-side right out of the box. Apogee customer service was great, and overnighted a functioning replacement to me. That one lasted about a year, and has now died. I am hopeful that they will help me yet again.

I believe that it will be ok.

You run into problems when you send balanced to unbalanced.
Not the case in your situation.

You're sending unbalanced to balanced.

Hope this helps.
