Please go through these steps to ensure that everything is set up properly:
Setting up ONE’s inputs:
Internal Mic
To use ONE’s built-in internal mic, launch ‘Apogee Maestro’ from your Applications folder, go to the ‘Input’ tab and click on the ‘Analog Level’ drop-down menu for Input 1 and set it for ‘Int Mic’.
Gradually bring the input level in Maestro up until you get a good level from your input source. Make sure the meter isn’t going into the red.
External Mics
Connect your Mic using only an XLR cable (no 1/4″ adapters or cables) to the XLR input 1 of ONE’s breakout cable.
Launch ‘Apogee Maestro’ from your Applications folder, go to the ‘Input’ tab and click on the ‘Analog Level’ drop-down menu for Input 1 and set it to ‘Ext Mic’.
If you’re using a condenser mic that requires phantom power, choose ‘Ext Mic 48v’.
Gradually bring the input level in Maestro up until you get a good level from your input source. Make sure the meter isn’t going into the red.
Guitars, Basses, Keyboards, Hi-Z Mics that have 1/4″ cables, such as harmonica mics:
Connect your Instrument using only a 1/4″ instrument cable to the 1/4″ input 2 of ONE’s breakout cable.
Launch ‘Apogee Maestro’ from your Applications folder, go to the ‘Input’ tab.
Gradually bring the input level in Maestro up until you get a good level from your input source. Make sure the meter isn’t going into the red.
Setting up ONE’s outputs:
Using ONE with DAW or audio playback software:
– Launch ‘Apogee Maestro’ from your Applications folder, go to the ‘Output’ tab and set the output to ‘Out 1-2’ (the drop-down menus under the software output knob)
– Confirm that the mute button isn’t engaged in Maestro’s output tab.
Using ONE without any software- input directly to output:
– Launch ‘Apogee Maestro’ from your Applications folder, go to the ‘Output’ tab and set the output to ‘Mixer’ (the drop-down menus under the software output knob)
– Confirm that the mute button isn’t engaged in Maestro’s output tab.
