Hey, cool. I have heard of that Gio interface and thought that looked interesting for using the effects within Garageband or Logic. http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/gio.php
I had not heard of Apogee before.
Ahh, what a day!
1. I get an incredible strap delivered. Our own otaypanky (Brookwood Leather) made it, and it's a freakin' beauty. Fantastic! Pics to come.
2. I get an interesting book I have been looking for and I ordered it used a while back and forgot about it.
3. The latest Line 6 Pod Farm 2 and the stomp box packs are installed - it's also incredible what amazing tones are in this stuff. Will make some attempts at video of this ultra-uber-cool software! Sounds kick butt good.
4. I get a new audio interface delivered! I got it off of Kijiji and it wasn't local, so I paypal'd him and he wasn't returning emails immediately, so I got nervous. However, it was delivered today too, and it looks like brand new (although it's a year old). What is it then? It's a quality audio interface for Mac computers, called Apogee Duet.
What a day! It's too warm here to be Xmas, but I'm starting to wonder.I thought I heard Rudolf sneeze.

I plugged in the Apogee Duet last night, and holy cattle - it sounds incredible! I mean, just listening to iTunes, the sound through my speakers were way better than before. Why didn't I get this a long time ago? Slap me!
I haven't recorded with it yet, but I am very eager to... it's also small and firewire-based, and it gets all its power from the computer, so no extra power supply needed. Software controls the input/output sliders, etc - the hardware is very simple as a result - just one big wheel for output volume, and breakout cables for connection. It rox!![]()

I got one more yesterday... a new battery for my laptop! Plus I got the Kirk Fletcher and Wayne Krantz albums - sweet!

Merry Christmas Robert!
I envy you. I've been waiting overly long for a couple of amps (currently stuck in customs) and my first self-designed "Hell Guitars" t-shirt (currently god knows where). Maybe, if today is really Christmas, they'll both arrive today!
Just noticed that you posted yesterday. Guess it's not Christmas afterall. Rats...
Xmas indeed! The amps arrived!
