You install the free Duet app on your Mac (no Windows support yet, though they say that is coming) and buy the iOS app. The screen updates very quickly and most things look and animate well. I thought I'd take some time to give a real review instead of just complain about the cost.ĭuet works as advertised and since it relies on a cable for the connection, it works quite well. When I first bought this, it wasn't working on my system, and when I contacted support, I received an extremely friendly response within hours of emailing them, and they gave me a link for a beta which solved all the problems.Īs far as cost goes, $14.99 is a small price to pay to use a high resolution screen that you already carry with you (or, you could always get a $300 external portable monitor).
The lightening fast refresh of the cable link makes using your iPad to run photoshop pallets or final cut pro libraries is a real time saver. I had all but stopped using my iPad as a second monitor because of the problems at public wifi locations (I do a lot of my business at coffee shops) Now I have a second touch enabled monitor when I am out in the field working. The hard link to your laptop as well offers lightening fast refreshes. This way the iPad is charging while you are using it, and there is NO public wifi to confuse the program. If you've ever tried to use one of the other "wifi" apps which do the same thing in a crowded coffee shop, well you can forget about the iPad being able to find your computer. I see other's listing the lack of bluetooth or wifi compatibility but I think that is this app's strength. And with its awesome specs and performance, it ensures professional results no matter which approach I'm taking." 98 169 dylan ///wp-content/uploads/2016/11/apogee-logo-hdr-2016.This is perhaps the most useful app I've seen in a long time. While the Duet represents true investment in your music making (with a street price of around $650), the ability to easily move the compact, lightweight "brains" of the system around amortizes the cost across three different work environments, letting me get creative literally anytime, anywhere. I'm planning to keep Apogee's breakout box connected and wired up on my desktop studio Mac, while using the "octopus-style" breakout cable for mobile use on both my MacBook Pro, and iPad. What I find most compelling about Duet for iPad and Mac, however, is the utility, and the ability to leverage one investment across multiple use cases. "The device just works, works well and with its intuitive design and diminutive form factor, its not in the way - literally or figuratively.
