Hi Grie:
I record on a Mac, using GarageBand or Logic. The Apogee interface looks to be of reasonable quality (for the price). However, it accepts only 1/4" input. I have 3 interfaces that I use for different situations, and they all accept 3-prong XLR inputs (for microphones) as well as 1/4". I record using both a mic for acoustic and 1/4" for electric instruments, so the two-input capability is necessary. If you intend to record ONLY using electric instruments, the Apogee might be suitable....
However, another thing I noticed is that the Apogee has no headphone output for monitoring. One of the biggest problems in home recording is latency (a slight delay in hearing yourself when recording). To minimize latency, most recordists monitor by plugging their headphones into the interface, rather than the computer. This is not possible with the Apogee. Anyone using it would have to monitor through the computer's output, thereby increasing latency.
If you're looking to buy an interface, I'd recommend a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Mine cost around $150 new. The sound quality is better (i.e. cleaner) than its predecessor, an M-Audio unit.
