When you install the ONE software you are also installing Apogee’s Maestro.
Maestro can be found in your Applications folder.
You will see that Maestro is two separate windows. Maestro Control and Maestro Mixer
Maestro control is software control for all of the functions of ONE.
You can:
select the Input and Output you want to use.
Control the gain of the pre-amp
and Level of the overall Output.
These same controls can also be found in Audio MIDI Setup located in Applications>Utilities.
If you’re recording a limited amount of audio tracks, You may not ever need to open Maestro. However, on larger sessions when you are using a higher buffer setting, have multiple audio tracks, effects and software instruments, you may need to use Maestro for low latency monitoring.
When you are using Maestro with Logic, click on Preferences>Audio to turn software monitoring off.
In Garage Band you have to make sure that Monitor is set to off on the track that you are recording.
To activate the Maestro mixer, change “To Hardware” from “None” to “Out L-R”
“From Software” will now control the level of loops or audio tracks you have previously recorded in Garage Band or Logic.
“Input 1” controls the volume of the source you have plugged into ONE’s input.
Keep in mind that this does not control the level that is being recorded. This is simply for monitoring purposes. So it will keep recording into Garage Band or Logic even if you pull the fader all the way down, you just won’t be able to hear what you are recording.
Now simply adjust between “Input” and “From Software” to get a comfortable level for monitoring.
