Hey bud can you do a list of the items and where i can get these items and cables please. Best set up ive seen and just what im in need of so thanks for this
Sorry, don’t want to sound rude but feeding a preamp with another preamp is pointless. Unfortunately you can’t bypass Apollo Twin’s pre with the line input, so you are spending money for some gear without having the sound you are actually paying for. The twin has its unison technology that works great: try and make a comparison with the same chain you are using now (your pre and the WA2A vs. the Avalon and LA2A plugin you have with the audio interface) and try to hear the difference. If you want to use your gear, which make’s totally sense, you could try using another audio interface with inserts or real preamp-less line inputs. Try the audient ID 24 or 44, they have the chance to bypass the preamp section 👍 hope it helps
Thanks for the feedback! I looked into everything with connections and even spoke with people at Sweetwater and UA team Members. You are correct but there is a way. I have a 18i20, An MAudio, I have used the Audient 44 which is an awesome interface. You can not bypass using XLR to mic from preamp. The only way that we overcame this. Is you need to use a TRS into the line input in the back of the Apollo. No phantom power needed from the Apollo. No Gain needed on the Apollo either. There’s been debates left and right on this but this is the way that “works” I wish I can make it make more sense but it’s all trial and error haha
I understand but it’s too long of an explanation and what not to type. I will let it be to where you are correct and I understand that fact is true. But I love the way it all sounds together compared to any other interface I own. And I can plug and play with my Mac and PC very easily
thanks for the video you did a good job showing everything and not skimming through the the steps like most other UA-cam videos do. Made it really easy for someone who doesn't understand to see where each wire goes.
I got a question, how to bypass Apollo Twin X Preamps.I mean if you select line input, it has +10db of gain and this cannot be bypassed. How u deal wit it?
Yes, you can bypass the mic preamp on the Apollo Twin X by using the 1/4-inch TRS line inputs. The 1/4-inch TRS inputs are designed to accept line-level signals, which bypass the mic preamps and go directly to the A/D converters. This allows you to use external preamps or other line-level devices without adding the coloration or gain from the Apollo's built-in mic preamps. Simply connect your external preamp or line-level device to the 1/4-inch TRS input on the Apollo Twin X, and ensure that the input is set to "Line" in the Apollo Console software.
I have a la 610 mk 2 channel strip modded with NOS tubes and the la 610 at 0 gain already adds in 4 db.. plus you're still getting 10 db of gain going thru line input on the Apollo twin x... its not an actual tru bypass which only the Apollo x6 and x8 have.. you're getting the ua preamp gain still if you're not using the -15 db pad on your hardware.. I would highly suggest that and then really get your preamp going I've owned a twinfinity and it sounds great on transient aka solid state.. but there using stock jj tubes 20 dollar tubes in there lol.. nothing like audiophile tubes
I did some research and on the Apollo twin, the interface I have and any that has the preamp, you bypass it with 1/4 to 1/4in and only way to actually use the preamp is to manually press the preamp button in the Apollo or any other interface that allows you to connect with 1/4in and manually turn on or off. But I bet you’re set up sounds great! You have any songs demonstrating the sound?
Make sure you get a 40gbps speed thunderbolt. Anything less it will not work.

I'm just wondering if going thru the twin finity as opposed to going straight to the already excellent unison preamp on the apollo makes any apparent different audio wise.
I love the different sounds you get with the twinfinity You get transient or vintage knob. You can mix both together or choose more of one or the other. Very versatile on what it can do. The Apollo’s preamp sounds clean and does a great job getting a clean recoding inside your DAW! Definitely try both if you can to hear it! I’m trying to figure out a way to demonstrate the best audio translation so you or the viewers can hear. Thanks for viewing and commenting!
Hello, when I recorded with uad-Console at Fl Studio, a left line comes from my headphones. So I only hear from the left side how can I solve the problem
When you are in fl studio Whatever Mic Line you are recording from, make sure it’s in stereo or you can also make your recording turn stereo. I can drop a short video tomorrow to help you out
The preamp in the Apollo sounds fantastic but once you use the UAD 710 it’s a whole different sound. I love the combo with that and the WA2A compresser. If you have the money to invest in it, I say it’s 1000% worth it
I have the twin X also as a control unit for talk back it’s daisy chained into my monitor units x6 and then into a x8 But through my patch bay I can choose the UA710, UA610, either of 2- Shelford Channels or a custom patch bay setup for my ADAT Audient ASP880 for 8 more channels of Burr Brown pre amps Lots of choices
@@ururozu I’m in my 60s now and have been fortunate enough to make a living first as a session player and now producing and engineering Before you know it you will have a pile of boxes too, Years go by quickly brother so enjoy ✌🏾
Hi, when I record with uad-Console in Fl Studio, my voice comes out twice. For example, I'm going to use an effect from Fl Studio, but I don't hear it.
If you’re using console to record you can drag your recording to Edison or a track on FL Studio. I’ll do a short video explaining on how to record vocals using Console and FL Studio
Great question! I love using the UAD 710 since I have full control of all settings while recording and I can manipulate sound. It has a great mix knob that has “transient and tube” I love it just for that feature. Transient is more modern sound in my opinion and tube is of course just that warm sound you hear in some rnb or indie music. Or you can mix it to be more or the other. It really has anything you want to do with recording. It’s also nice to have it so you’re not running a lot of CPU power with plugins. But plugins they are cheaper and great emulation in these plugins that sound great! If you have the money then get outboard gear but if you don’t want to spend then splurge on some plugins! Both are great and have pros and cons
After posting. Idk what happened to audio. Have not changed audio settings so it must be something with UA-cam compression. Sorry about that but I will keep that noted
@@ururozu yea true… been there. It’s all about if the fans like the music at the end of the day. Hits have been made with “mistakes” in them till this day 🤷🏾♂️😁
I’ve actually been playing around with it. I’m figuring out how to record the best audio possible to show and demonstrate audio quality when recording thru the UAD Console vs straight to the tracks in FL
@@ururozu Hello, which cables did you use so that you can connect the uad 710 fifinty preamp to the Apollo twin x because I did the same thing as you but there are always strange noises

Just put them in the description on what I use! And Sweetwater is definitely the spot to purchase if you are in the US! If not then check Amazon
Don’t you have to select line input on your Apollo?
On the Apollo and UAD Console App
