Frequently Asked Questions
Apogee FX is designed for exceptionally low latency and tight integration with the Duet's hardware, often outperforming standard plugins in tracking scenarios.
While durable, Gorilla Glass isn't scratch-proof; a screen protector is recommended for users concerned about maintaining pristine condition.
You'll need a high-quality USB-C to USB-A adapter, but performance may be slightly impacted compared to a direct USB-C connection.
