By default, its built-in microphone is the selected input. The One will now appear as the input source in any real instrument (digital audio) track and will also be used, by default, for guitar tracks. Fire up GarageBand and you’ll be asked if you’d like it to use One as an input and output device. To use it with GarageBand, string the included USB cable between the One and a USB port on your Mac. In the case of the One and GarageBand, this is exactly the case. Apogee sells such a clip separately for $20.Īpple and Apogee have a close relationship so Apogee’s gear tends to “just work” out of the box. Regrettably, the box does not contain a microphone clip that fits the One. Attach the breakout cable to the top of the One and jack in a guitar or microphone cable.

Install the software and restart your Mac.

Inside the box you’ll find the One, Quick Start guide, software disc, USB cable, and breakout cable that holds an XLR input and a separate quarter-inch input. Compatible with any Core Audio application (including Apple’s Logic, Logic Express, and GarageBand as well as Ableton Live and ProTools), the One also sports a very decent built-in microphone. And tucked inside is a quality mic preamp. It supports both standard XLR microphones as well as those that require phantom power. And it earns this label because this black ice-cream-sandwich sized interface allows you to connect a variety of audio devices to your Mac via USB as well as XLR- and quarter-inch connectors. Versatility, thy name is One-assuming, in this instance, that versatility is defined as a $249 microphone/USB audio interface made by Apogee.
