Sounds good and looks good
I wanted a product that I could use on my 3 computers: Apple Mini M1, Apple MacBook Pro, Windows 10 desktop. Good news is that Duet 3 works on all my platforms and it is super easy to switch between my computers. But this also shows an issue: switching produces a loud crackling sound when you plug in/out the Duet 3. Something I never had with my cheaper Roland product. Once it is plugged in the sound is perfect, so just be aware when you plug in/out Duet 3.
What I like is the hardware DSP plugins. I did not have this on my Roland.
I use a Shure SM7 mic, I can use it without a FetHead but then you need to turn the gain close to max, hence I keep using my FetHead.
I love the breakout cable, this reduces the cable clutter on my working-from-home desk. I have all my cables hidden under my desk and have more space and cleaner desk.
The software is clearly still work in progress, it has all the must-have features working so that is the good news and it works on my 3 platforms. Install was smooth. What is not working is the help functions and the resizing of the windows has some issues on a MacOS. Nothing serious but one would expect that, for this price, the product would be finished.
I reported the software issues to Apogee and the support service does reply the next day, so no complaints on the Apogee support. Apogee seems to be aware and working on it...
