Love my Apollo Twin. Little tip: after recording, you should disable the plugins in the console. That might save you a lot of dsp power for mixing/mastering in the daw :)
this video was incredibly helpful. one of the best & fastest insights to the apollo. answered a lot of questions, and totally slick production too :) thank you!
Thanks for the review. I've been looking at this legendary interface for a long time as my 18i20 is now 8 years old! Still no problems with it haha, but time to bump it up. I just wish UA supported Windows better. The USB Twin hasn't been updated in 6 years (as of 2020).
Depends. Focusrite has really good low budget interfaces. The high tier ones are also really good so technically it's not better, just different (comparing same price class unite). The UA stuff is all pretty pricy and you're basically buying into their plug-in market with this.
Kelli im gonna tell you man. I just got my twin duo and i havent had much time with work (trying to make that $$$ back) but ii did search a dozen start-up videos and they eere trash, leading me to thing getting started was gonna be harder then i thought. But BAM you vedio set me straight.. If less is best BAM again.. You nail laying the track and monitoring + good S***, Thx.. 👍👍👍👍👍
this video was very helpful. I finally got my interface setup to record vocals after a week of searching youtube on how to setup my interface into FL studio and how sound out of my interface itself. I'm about to pair it with a ART Tube MP Studio v3 should be interseting
@@KelliMusic You forgot an important point and with this that video would be perfect: The audio preferences for audio devices! With an Apollo USB Device, which device class can you choose in Adobe Audition? At the moment I'm testing an Apollo Solo USB on Windows 11 with Adobe Audition CS6, but there is only the device class MME available and if I switch options in the UA Console, then AA makes some problems. Also the sound settings in Windows would be nice to see in comparison to the AA audio preferences & session settings. Would be nice, if you could show these things or therwise, could you please tell me these things in a comment?
Man that track was awesome. I'm looking into this interface, since I have a pretty beefy pc and don't want to switch on a mac. Any experience with lags or software problems or whatsoever?

@@AnibalPhillips ah man I was so upset for the first 5 hours. Figured out my pop and cracking problem. It was the buffering speed. Still kinda stumped on not being able to record 3 simultaneous tracks at once...
I got windows 10 with a usbc port. So i got a adapter for my thunderbolt 3 cord, I tried updating the firmware and downloaded the update for thunderbolt driver and the computer says the ua device may not work properly and ua connect app doesn't recognize the interface
Hi Kelli....thanks a whole lot for the video and the tutorials. Please I have 3 short questions and I'm hoping you can assist me as I am making a decision between this device and the scarlett 4i4 - 1. Can the UAD twin USB work on a gaming laptop which has a USB-C port? 2. Will the device be recognized by FL Studio 20? 3. Will all UAD plugins that come with the interface be available in FL Studio 20 if the device is recognized? Thanks a lot for the content you share. Truly, I am grateful...
I am lost! You say that the Appollo twin duo works under Windows. Some others say you need an adapter for the USB. And some say that UAD only deal with Mac if you want the best of it! Which is real?!
@@KelliMusic great! they say the USB model works with Windows 7,8 and 10. Can you tell us what is the hardware equipment of yours ( i mean is your processor a core i7 or 5, the Ram you need and the graphic card) i am about to break my moneybox and i don't want to miss it). Thanks anyway for the video.
Nice helpful video caused me to come back so I can start enjoying my apollo twin 1 w/my 3.0 usb. Your track is dope! Should finish it bro! Do you prefer the pre of the apollo? Or do ya have a better pre? And if so, can you bypass apollo's pre?
I haven't seen any UA-camR talks about workaround for MIDI controller with APOLLO. What are the work around? Is APOLLO mainly for recording vocal and live instruments? Does one has to switch back and forth when using APOLLO as DAW only works with one AUDIO Interface at a time?
I bought the mark 2 yesterday but I have to return it because my laptops usb c doesn’t support thunderbolt, so I’m going to have to buy this but is this usb version still as good as the thunderbolt?
Where is my In Love Emoji . Lol. I have a usb mic, I'm buying the Apollo twin duo mkii, I just need to figure out what mic to buy since I can't pair my awesome samson mic with Apollo argh.
So this praised internal processing only works inside of the console? If I just gonna use the plugins in my DAW it will be processed like all the other plugins?
To my knowledge, yes that is the case. You can use UAD plugins inside of any daw, but they will be processed like any other plugin. You have to use console in order to utilize the DSP.
Nice Video! Was that the Apollo screen showing? Or a certain DAW? I just bought an Apollo but I don't know if it's gonna work with my NCH Mixpad DAW (which I'm familiar with) and I don't know if Mixpad will allow me to use the UA Plugins of Apollow VS Their VST Plugins? Thanks so much for the education on the apollo. Can't wait to find out if Apollo works with MIXPAD. Thx!
Thank You @@paullavigne9741. My DAW is MIXPAD By NCH - Is that what you mean by which console? And do you know if I can turn down Apollo's mic Pre; to use my Alesis Mixer (with it's own Mic Pre & EFX) And Still Benefit By Using Apollo's converters? I bought an Apollo Twin USB but I've never used it yet b/c I need to learn how best to use it. And I don't want to damage it. But also, I've been using stand alone gear thus far. And I've never tried plug ins yet. Also, I don't know if my "NCH MIXPAD DAW" supports The Apollo And UA's Plug Ins. They use VST or something. So, until I can learn how to use plug ins and find out if my NCH MIXPAD DAW will let me use the Apollo's UA Plugins (VS Their VST?), I'm just wondering.. If I plug a few EFX (Pre, Comp/Limiter and a verb) "Directly Into The Apollo", Would it's converters still help it to sound better? (VS NOT using the Apollo?) And, have you ever heard of anyone substituting UA Plugins in a DAW that normally uses VST Plugins? Any Help "Would Be Greatly Appreciated!"
I feel like you skipped a whole step inbetween using the installer and going to the interface. Edit: you forgot the part where you have to turn the Apollo on and off so it recognizes it on your PC
hi .. one short question: Is it possible to adjust the sound on EQ to the output of the device... I mean you want to configure your Apollo to have some good bass kick and you adjust it by knob In DAW all projects has the same amount of bass then... do you know what I mean?
Are you able to use it with 2 programs at the same time using ASIO? Example: Are you able to work in your DAW and have Adobe Premiere open, using ASIO on both? I can't do that with my Twin X on Windows (the sound distorts), and UAD can't answer my question.
Hello, you don't have problems with noise when you enter the console with the preamp, headphones and monitors ?, But when I apply a small preamp in the console the noise is reduced but not much, what do you think? register on the interface.
Hello, could you please help me with something ? I am a windows user without thunderbolt. The guy at the store told me not to take the twin usb stating that the converter on the newer solo usb3 was better. So I took Apollo usb3. Now I realize that I cannot use fender twin + another dsp demanding plugin like chamber. Can I record with the fender first then apply on the track a chamber after tracking the fender (don t know it there is a lost in quality in reprinting something …? Is it true that for windows I just have the choice between new Apollo solo usb3 and old Apollo twin usb and that the old Apollo twin usb is less good sounding that the new Apollo solo usb3? Thank you very very much if you could answer. At the end of the day all I wanted was a twin Apollo with usb - but he told me he just has older twin usb that we’re less good than the new Apollo. I think the guy did not have a twin usb and sold me that.
Is the UA 610 like the stock pres on the interface? That's what Im gathering. So no matter what you would have to choose that even if you are plannin on just using the interface by itself.
hey man, just got the UA apollo and im getting Latency in Cubase but only when using the UAD plug-ins, first time i noticed was when i hit a compressor into sendeffects of cubase it sounded metalic like the vocals would be doubled already and moved, any tips?
