I guess you don't use PT because the remote, I believe, will only work with the TB version? And do you set the different output volumes to the 2 stereo monitors & the 1 headphone via the front panel?
I think I'm ready to go with the Apogee. Was deliberating between it, the Crane Song Quantum, & the Dangerous.
The Crane Song, realistically, is available 6 months - the earliest - from when one orders it & it only has 2 outs, as opposed to the Apogee's 6. So, I'd need a monitor controller.
The Dangerous Converts come in either AD or DA & the 2 units end up costing way more than even the Quantum.

The little apogee remote works great for adjusting volume on the Symphony, changing speakers, switching from speakers to headphones, monoing speakers etc. My Symphony is not in easy arms reach so I rarely touch the front panel, but the remote is always at my finger tips.  |

I have a huge Apogee 16X thunderbridge setup and I want to upgrade to the new Symphony mkII 16x16/2x6se cards. Just waiting for prices to go down to pick up a good deal on the used market.

Hi Mike, Thanks for all your info! Are you using the Thunderbolt version of the Symphony & not the Pro Tools version? If so, would it be because you're running Native or because you're going in via AES? And is there an "advantage" going TB instead of PT even if one has PT HD (or HDX)? Ariel

Ariel, I am using Pro Tools native so my Symphony is the Thunderbolt version. I think if I had PT HD or HDX I would have the Pro Tools card installed in my Symphony, but for my needs Pro Tools native is getting the job done. I have no problem running a low buffer of 32-64 in Pro Tools 2019.5 when tracking so latency has not been an issue unless I am going back to overdub something and have a bunch plugins active. I also don't use a lot of virtual instruments and if I do I usually bounce them to audio once I am happy with the midi track. All and all I've been very happy with the Symphony and Pro Tools setup. |

Courious, anybody compare the latency of the SE and regular MK II cards? Hey im new to this site and i currently have the regular 16 by16 card and was wondering if you have any samples of how it sounds im looking to get the 2by6 SE also thanks |
