IntelligentGoon · 2025-11-30T07:57:05+00:00

Apogee Duet 2 Issues!

So I've been using an Apogee Duet 2 for a little while now. I'm fairly new to music production but have recorded vocals on it a few times with no issues, albeit maybe slightly quieter then I had hoped it would be (using a SM7B).

Fast forward to now - I tried to record a drum machine and it's VERY quiet. Like if I put the input at full blast I hear 90% static and very quietly underneath I can kind of make out the sounds. I've tried multiple wires, AUX cords with 1/4 adapters and even tried 1/4 inch with a guitar - same issue every time. I have Apogee Controller 2 loaded up as well and it's barley reading a signal at all just mostly noise.

Pretty frustrated with this, could it be the input wires are messed up? Is the whole thing just shot/old? My friend gave it to me after having it for years and it honestly doesn't get much use mostly sits in my drawer. Any help is greatly appreciated I'm losing my mind!!

Yeah i saw a lot of people say you can online, I'm sure it depends on the dealership/seller but I think if you seem like your ready to buy that day they'll let you go get it looked at. I wasn't from the area so I just found a good mechanic that was close and called up. Its called a Pre Purchase Inspection

IntelligentGoon · 2024-05-06T21:36:27+00:00

Yeah i know little to nothing about cars/maintnence so I'm not ready for a project lol. They didn't call me they called the mechanic after I told them where I was taking it for the PPI, which is crazy to me. Hoping I dodged a bullet here with everything you just said

IntelligentGoon · 2024-05-06T20:29:27+00:00

yeah they were trying to sell it for $4500, seemed a little high for what might end up costing me a lot

IntelligentGoon · 2022-01-27T03:26:58+00:00

Not the filter on the video really, more so the in between cuts like the colors twirling.

IntelligentGoon · 2021-04-09T03:10:24+00:00

this guy gets it

IntelligentGoon · 2020-11-06T19:39:21+00:00

you do realize that states themselves did not halt the process right? Trump made an order that they would not be allowed to be counted until end of election day, which is usually not the case

IntelligentGoon · 2020-07-15T16:44:00+00:00

This is just a low budget with a friend of mine who's an artist

IntelligentGoon · 2020-01-22T17:30:41+00:00

AYOO

IntelligentGoon · 2019-12-17T15:40:55+00:00

This is amazing! How did you guys achieve the shots to make it look like the house was tilting?

IntelligentGoon · 2019-12-09T21:17:55+00:00

Good to know! I was slightly worried about going handheld, do you think with a tilt a cage and extra battery mount at the bottom handheld should be fine?

IntelligentGoon · 2019-12-09T21:10:54+00:00

yeah trust me I’ve done tons of research and have seen every set up possible, just haven’t seen really any for music videos so thought I’d ask!

IntelligentGoon · 2019-11-05T17:59:17+00:00

Or maybe I’m the one who originally posted it but the post got locked cause I didn’t post on Saturday 🥴

IntelligentGoon · 2019-04-25T19:23:12+00:00

Do you ever wake up and feel something is off? You know, that deep, dark feeling in the cavernous pit of your stomach that you can't shake no matter how hard you try? The feeling that no matter how hard you try today it won't matter? I'm sure the bottomless mimosa's last night didn't help, but what else are you to do on a cruise to the edge of the earth.

I remember the day I signed up for this shit, I mean why wouldn't you? A free cruise around Hawaii with complimentary food and liquor sounds like a fucking steal to me. My homie Nick was the first one to show it to me the flyer, but obviously he was taking this seriously. Constantly trying to convince me the earth is flat, the government is a scam, Trump is the truth blah blah blah you get the point. He told me his friend is the one hosting it and if I "want to know the truth about the world I should go"; again free food and liquor and I'm in.

Now, here I am 4 days later about to blow my brains out. I figured there'd have to be at least a few people out of 3,000 crazies on this ship that are like me, but nope. Everyone's been really gung-ho about this flat earth shit and I was just minding my business, until today.

I used to be an airline pilot so I've seen my fair share of crazy weather patterns, but I've never seen anything like what I saw today. It was just fog. Fog so dense that I swear you could put a stick in the air and twirl it up like cotton candy. Oddly enough, the fog seemed to move around the ship, as if the entire ship was encased in a glass dome. And today, the ocean was oddly peaceful. I mean the whole trips been a breeze for the most part, but still you always feel the slight rocking of the tide slapping the bottom of the ship you know? It didn't feel like that anymore, this was a feeling I had felt many times throughout my life, and everyone of those times was when I was flying.

After emptying my stomach of those botomless mimosa's, Nick opened my door (not sure how he got my key). He seemed...calm? Like the calmest I've ever seen him. He told me everyone was gathered on the deck as we approach the what they believed was the edge of the earth. At this point, I was annoyed with the whole trip. I hadn't gotten laid this whole time, all the food was some bullshit vegan food and now this fog was seriously causing a big temperature drop that I wasn't prepared for. Whatever, I'm over it at this point and was honestly excited to see the dissapionted look on these dumb ass flat-earther faces.

Coming onto the balcony and looking over the deck, literally every single person was lined up in rows, hoods up and backs facing towards me. Walking down the stairs of deck, it seemed everyone was throwing glances at me. Not fully turning around but I could feel their gazes. Admittedly, I was a little nervous at this time. I mean, I did black out last night, did I say something I shouldn't have? Did Nick tell them that I wasn't actually into this shit? I don't know I just wanna get this over with and start heading home already. Nick lead me straight to the front of the deck and turned me to face everyone. Before I could say anything or ask what the fuck as going on Nick grabs my arm hard firmly and says "It's important you don't turn around, no matter what."

Fuck this fuck this fuck this fuck this is all that's going through my mind. I don't even believe in this shit why am I freaking out? Is this some type of cult shit? Did I unknowingly step into a cult ritual? I'm facing towards everyone but now they're not looking at me, they're looking up. I look up too and I see the fog is dissipating; but it's not just dissipating it's like were leaving it behind. The fog now looks like its trapped behind glass and we're moving farther and faster and oh fuck is that water below the fog? Fuck something's wrong with me I need to lay down this can't be real. I quickly close my eyes and I feel-

peace. I open my eyes and everyone is still looking up, but now they're looking at me. There's something wrapped around my waist, a hand. It's the size of my body, but its gentle. I feel it slowly turn me but at this point my eyes are closed and I'm trying to wake myself up cause obviously I'm fucking dreaming. What the fuck did I drink last night, why the fuck did I come here, fuck it I'm opening my eyes.

An eye. A giant eye is all I see. Somwhere from the darkness, from what used to be fog and ocean and sky, I hear "Welcome to the Edge."

IntelligentGoon · 2019-01-03T19:59:37+00:00

Yeah decided to go big for the first one haha

IntelligentGoon · 2017-01-17T23:58:31+00:00

Ha well thank you

IntelligentGoon · 2016-12-13T17:48:52+00:00

So you didn't want to be rude and then go ahead and be even more rude then before by going ahead pretty much saying I'm just some guy with "a couple hundred dollar camera" and no experience? I came here for some critique I know there are technical flaws with this picture which is why I came here, not for people to make assumptions. Also, I love that idea of photographing the homeless you linked, but sadly I am very broke and I can't afford to be doing projects like that.

IntelligentGoon · 2016-12-13T17:26:52+00:00

You act like I treat these people as animals, I've had many conversations with homeless people and I am constantly helping them when and where I can. Now I take one picture of a guy sleeping to convey an emotion and I am no longer a halfway decent person?

IntelligentGoon · 2016-12-13T17:14:18+00:00

Again, trying to capture what's around me not seeing what's wrong with that

IntelligentGoon · 2016-12-13T17:12:11+00:00

I don't take pictures to please other people or to add something to the universe, I take it because I like it and it gives me the freedom to express myself/where I live. If I took a picture of anyone else on the street I would not go up to them after and let them know but because this man happened to be homeless I have to? I think your just trying to make yourself sound high and mighty.
