    I use a Mackie VLZ for live mics. But I don’t use the new GB. I use a 2010 MB Pro for recording.

    Thanks man I went with the Apollo and its Thunderbolt interface given the onboard processing - is it possible to share notes here on results?

    I’m not much of a tech head, but you can have a listen to this song I recorded using:
    Macbook Pro 2011 GarageBand: Electric Guitar and Bass were plugged in using a a Mac friendly instrument cable running out of my Fender Princeton straight into the Mac and using GarageBand effects
    Mackie VLZ with XLRs to these mics:
    Ev Cobalt mics for the main guitar and drums 
    Shure SM78 for main guitar and drums
    Shure Vocal Mic for all vocals

    *Mixed and mastered using GarageBand controls. All me, no help.
