wow, this correction system has caught my attention! will there be a version of apollo solo or something similar without phantom power? i would love to upgrade!
The difference in Gen 2 is found in all Apollos except x16. All the rest have been update to have better DR and THD specs such that all are now VERY close to the flagship x16 and x16D Gen 2s.
LOL This is not what we’ve been waiting for 😂. Don’t get hoodwinked into buying this old tech being paraded as new. Sheesh, how far has UAD fallen? Seriously….
Proper room treatment costs thousands. Some decent self-made traps and panels alongside sonarworks is a great compromise. Monitor correction is getting more and more sophisticated. Brands like Kii use DSP to sort out the room and are the best sounding monitors I've heard. The clarity is unreal, even in ridiculous situations. Not having to run the SW plug-in would be a big plus, for me at least. I've been wanting this for a while, I'm sure many other Apollo users will be delighted.
Hang on, Auto Gain has been around with RME, Audient and others have had this as standard for ages. Room correction by Sonarworks integration is already on RME TotalMix FX. Unison has been part of UAD for years, why are we talking about this like it's a new thing? The one thing I would've expected is a massive update in DSP power. But, NO, where's the modern day processors? If you haven't upgraded the Processing power/ CPU's, why are you even bothering? Before you buy this, get a demo and a good idea of the amount of UAD plugins you can use at any one time. It's a lot less than you'd minimum expect. UAD are a bunch of dodgy snake oil salesmen. But they're brilliant Snake Oil salesmen. Nothing worth it here. UAD is so behind, their old plugins keep getting rehashed and given a new face and marketing and the one thing the market has been waiting for in their Apollo range is glaringly missing.
They are talking about Apollo, not RME or whatever...they are not saying that other don't have it. Coca Cola is the same 100 years but they still have advertisments. There are lot of people who does not know much about Apollo. It's for them. Not you...
@@tihomir7 What are you talking about? The price point for this old Apollo stuff is insanely high. It doesn't compare well with any of their competitors. In comparing the market, which is what people do, they look at the competition. You can buy a lot more modern kit for your money than this old expensive rehash and reface. BTW, in response to your "It's for them. Not you..." Don't be saying you speak for anyone than yourself., unless you're on the UAD Marketing team
@@chizzulwinduh1941 read carefully. It's advertisment video. They are selling new products. Is it cheap or expensive is not your or my problem. And btw I use UA equipment. Used Motu, Rme etc but never go back to anything and will pay for UA as long as I can. They have right to put a price as much ay they want. There are lot of professionals using Apollo, so I don't know where is the problem...and it doesn't matter what others have. They are showing what's new by them...
@@philventre8076 I don't find any problem with Totalmix fx. It was a learning curve and many people have mentioned that. You can't really compare your design preferences on RME software to the literal ancient and poor AF processors used by UAD on this, there "new offering of interface" It's purely taking the piss.
Great to see sonoworks added to console. Will we be able to use other third party plugins in console in the future? I would love to be able to monitor with ik multimedia mixbox.
The old Apollo Solo I have can’t handle more than 2 UAD plugs at a time because of DSP issues. Will this do the same or does it have more dsp handling capacity?
@@UniversalAudio To be fair Essentials+ DOES NOT compare to the Heritage Edition and the plugins that came with it. When I bought my Twin X first gen Heritage Edition I got to choose 8 plugins as alternatives to all the plugins I already own(which is almost everything). When I registered my Twin X QUAD GEN 2 all I got was a promo plugin for Autotune Realtime Access and more licenses to plugins I already own...smh
I use Apollo x8 and two monitor pairs one at the monitor output one at output 1&2 and change them with the Alt key which works very well. Can I save and use the Sound id measurement for both Monitor on the outputs?
@@UniversalAudio Thanks for the Feedback. What happens then with the other outputs? without measurement ? Are multiple outputs planned for the future? Would be really important, there are certainly other users who use 2 pairs of monitors in the studio and would like to use both measurements.
I’m not buying this because it wasn’t what I was hoping for. But what I don’t understand is the vitriol in some of these comments. You don’t have to buy it. Don’t you guys have more important things in life to make you angry? It’s just an audio interface lol.
@@pandemic7 nope, I saw your comment and thought it rather babyish and immature. it didn't upset me, you're project poorly again. Perhaps I'm just expressing myself in a way you can't and that makes you angry and passive aggressive? I dunno, I don't care. BTW, I think it's cool to call out corporations trying to sell you things that are a bit dodgy and don't make sense. I think it helps other people to see the context, when all you get is NCPs and influencers telling you how great it is and not challenging the BS.
UAD jan tell me please pros to upgrade twin x quad gen 1 -2024 to gen 2. 1. Will gen 1 be stop supporting upgrades or etc.? 2. Honestly why should I upgrade my gen 1 2024 model to gen 2? 3. When are you planning to upgrade DSPs to another technology? Tnx in advance, hope you’ll give detailed long answers.
Improved conversion, Assistive Auto-Gain. You should upgrade because Gen2 s sound better. Sorry, we never talk about future features or products, we prefer to announce when you can use/buy. It's the best way.
Hey Sarah, I happen to have some drugs on me. Want to get high? No Marsha drugs are bad. I have to go now we can’t be friends anymore. And the Oscar goes to….
A lot of wasted time in this, with stupid fluff no one cares about.... UA should just give us information... this is like an ad, not a "getting started" informational vid.... very annoyed by this.... don't care about fluff
The acting in this video is wild. 😂😂😂 But I still got my order in for my new x8. 😎
lmaooo
For sure. I made it a minute 15 in and couldn't handle it anymore.
Yeah way too scripted!
Angelic voice, wooden acting🤣🤣🤣
The delivery of "oh yeah all the time" lmao
Needed a bigger advancement in progression… this is still the same interfaces essentially..
This is SO authentic.
wow, this correction system has caught my attention! will there be a version of apollo solo or something similar without phantom power? i would love to upgrade!
I saw the announcement and thought i might upgrade, but besides the things that you can already do with other software, i don't see any major upgrades
UAD can you explain how much better the new converters are in the Apollo X gen 2 interfaces as opposed to older ones?

Apple of audio
USB version is gonna be without an upgrade for a few years again? 😀
Monitor correction does not replace room treatment folks.... remember that.
it doesn't come close.
Slate VSX ftw!
Agreed. No way around GIGO! But still an exciting technology for bedroom beatmakers imo.

Can the Apollo solo use the auto gain feature?
No, it's Gen 2 Apollo X only.
Does the Mac Security still have to be lowered to install the software like with the previous Apollos?
yes. We still use a KEXT and it needs to be allowed.
@@UniversalAudio you're kidding right? How long???
@@UniversalAudio Thank you.
@@UniversalAudio that's disgraceful.
Can the Apollo solo use the monitor correction?
No, DUO is needed as it takes a chip.
@@UniversalAudio And if I have satellite?
Really wish we could get a USB c version…
It is..
When a “new product” contains the same style and content of tutorial footage used over 15 years ago lol
Great to see sonoworks added to console. Will we be able to use other third party plugins in console in the future? I would love to be able to monitor with ik multimedia mixbox.
Pardon my ignorance, but, what's her workflow? She's using Luna but the actual recording is in Logic?
They're using UAD Console to control the Apollos and recording into Logic.
@@UniversalAudio Ha ha ha.
Holy shit these have the same DSP chips as all the older models. Who is this for?
it's for people like my mom, and her mom.
@@athonygraham8353 Nice. A family of producers
The same DSP capacity?
The old Apollo Solo I have can’t handle more than 2 UAD plugs at a time because of DSP issues. Will this do the same or does it have more dsp handling capacity?
The new Apollos are available from DUO to HEXA.
Damn I’ve been waiting like 10 years for that sonarworks integration…
🤘🏻
does it work on Windows out of the box?
Sure does. Amazing for all ASIO workflows.
Cecilia is so cool
Just glad the community can see through all this shit
The blonde lady looks so disinterested 🤣
Ya it doesn't seem natural, the whole thing.
what mic is used for room profiling?
storeus.sonarworks.com/products/soundid-reference-measurement-microphone
Is it not the same as the heritage edition?
Heritage Edition was replaced by Essentials +
@@UniversalAudio I have the x8 heritage edition. Barely even used it.

Can Apollo Quad use the Room Correction and Headphones?
No, it needs to be an Apollo X.
Please say the monitor correction will be available for the current Apollo twin gen interfaces…
Apollo Xs minus Solos
@@UniversalAudio amazing! So it’s available for the ‘gen 1’ interfaces ?
I use Apollo x8 and two monitor pairs one at the monitor output one at output 1&2 and change them with the Alt key which works very well. Can I save and use the Sound id measurement for both Monitor on the outputs?
No, just the main mons.

Sorry, we can't comment on any future developments or releases. We appreciate your interest though and encourage you to stay tuned.
Does the Sonarworks integration work on Gen 1 Apollo X | Twin Duo?
yes!!
@@UniversalAudiowhat about the apollo twin mk2s?
Wow
The only thing I would like to have on my Apollo X is Auto Gain. Hmm, I wish I could just get it by upgrading the software!
So no need to update anything (software-wise) if i own an apollo twin x (current gen) because non of these new features will work on it right?
Bass management and room correction when it's released. Only auto gain is Gen 2 exclusive.
Damn, AG would be nice to have without the need to upgrade. Or is it just that the current apollo x‘s physically can’t provide that feature?
@@UniversalAudio so the only upgrade of the gen 2 is auto gain? 💀
Seems like it but the thing for me is i don’t use a sub, so then i only get sonarworks :/
Correct.

The main upgrades could have been given to us via software update.. not worth upgrading.
true that 💯

2. Honestly why should I upgrade my gen 1 2024 model to gen 2?

Why is it so expensive ???
Same but different😅
This is the most cringe video I’ve ever seen
This would have been cool in2014. Get the plugins ported over to vst3 before some other group does.
How is this new when it's still running with thunderbolt 3 ? 🤔🤔
new socket Intel boards are Thunderbolt 4 fyi... gen 2 manual has questionable compatibility... UAD should clear this up !!!!
Can I play 5.1 or 7.1 video and the Apollo x8 off UA-cam
So where does she record at home?
Please make it possible in Luna to send the return track back into itself for feedback. It’s a unnecessary creative block for some
great acting
I bought my Apollo X the day before the new generation dropped. I wish there had been a heads’ up that a new gen was dropping. 🤦🏼♂️
I'm sure you can resolve that easily.
I'm gonna let Mitch tell me about this product. Can't do it, gang.
I find the marketing quite cringey lately, but some nice features and updates
Live vocals over a track already prepped with back vocals already treated ?
This is so Bad ass wow thanks Ladies.....!
Definitely won't be upgrading. But love the Dream 65 being released as a plugin. Will definitely be picking that up.
UA cut all the flashy marking BS and get to work. This is not the upgrade us loyal Apollo users expected.
UAD , you've got a lotta nerve. This is pitiful, but I see lot's of good folks aren't taken in. Shame on you.
Windows users are once again looking down the tube.
Hey Sarah, I happen to have some drugs on me. Want to get high? No Marsha drugs are bad. I have to go now we can’t be friends anymore. And the Oscar goes to….
Don't be fooled by the quality of the native plugins released recently or their hardware. Want a top-level conversion interface? Apogee!
Windows user?
Unfortunately very underwhelming. On the plus side, I will save 5 grand to spend on something else instead.
A lot of wasted time in this, with stupid fluff no one cares about.... UA should just give us information... this is like an ad, not a "getting started" informational vid.... very annoyed by this.... don't care about fluff
It's a good thing she's a singer and not actress.... This looks like a very mediocre update to an already great UA product....
First of all the artist is great amazing job cecilia. EVERYTHING else i hate- what a cheap sales pitch for the same shit all over again
hehehe
