    Universal Audio did not learn from the Arrow that, A: There are people with Thunderbolt 2 Macs not yet wanting to change their computer but want a bus powered interface for their current Mac as well as their next one, and B: iPads have become serious music production tools with companies like Steinberg making their devices fully compatible with iPad OS. Why would you release a new product line in 2020 and once again ignore those potential customers ?

I just don't have so much money to start using UAD plugins and gear, when there are alternatives, like Plugin Alliance for plugins, For DSP this cheap AMD Ryzen processors are crazy good. I mean UAD just sees himself as an innovator but didn't invent anything new in 15 years. But that SHARC DSP which is very old still worth... Yeah, it is if you have 50 of them.

      Hi Vincent. It’s great that you are getting into recording. As long as you are at 16GB of Ram and have the compatible OS with the DAW(Luna) and Interface you will be fine. Most interface these days gives you the system requirements for your Computer. Also, the Apollo Solo comes with Luna and these offer a thunderbolt 3 version and USB version of the Apollo.

      What's up Caleb? The solo will be fine but if you ever decide to use more UAD powered plug-ins (Which requires more DSP), you will have a processing block. The Twin Duo MKii will give you safe DSP room just in case if you ever want to use more plug-ins. I think the Twin MKii is worth the extra money but the solo is also a killer deal. I hope this helps and thank you.

    • @user-eu3mn6ss5l
      @user-eu3mn6ss5l 2 роки тому +1

      Hard to put a number on it because different plugins use different amounts of CPU. I can tell you that for tracking vocals, I'm using a Mic preamp, a compressor, and the RealVerb reverb, and it's around 82%. But that's all I need for vocal tracking. The Solo won't replace your computer in terms of running plugins!

    Hey man, great video. Is there enough inputs/outputs on the solo to add an outboard compressor/pre amp to the chain? If so could you briefly explain how that would work.

    • @archiebeatz
      @archiebeatz  4 роки тому +1

      Hey Greg! Thank you so much. Well, you can connect the microphone to the preamp via XLR > to the Apollo Solo Input... 2nd configuration: Microphone to preamp via XLR > Out of the preamp > To Compressor > to Apollo Solo.. You can also switch the signal flow having the compressor before the preamp. I hope this helps.

      Thank you. Well, the Apogee duet 2 usb doesn't have the UAD style DSP powered plug ins. I can tell you that UAD apollos sound great and last a long time. The Apogee duets are great too (Which I own the apollo duet firewire).. I'm just a UAD fan because they've solved a lot of my recording studio problems and the Apollo units are super dependable in most production situations. I hope this helps James.

    @archie beatz I am wanting to get the apollo solo for my voiceovers. I have 80 ohms beyerdynamic headphones and I am having to max out my volume on the focusrite solo. Do you think if I get the apollo solo my current headphones will work fine or should i get 250 ohms? Your vids are great!

    • @archiebeatz
      @archiebeatz  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Danielle. 80 ohms ( lowest impedance) can get louder than 250 ohms... With 250 ohms half of my colleagues use a headphone amplifier to reach a certain volume level. Also, 80 ohms project more and less highs while 250 ohms produce slightly less bass and more highs, treble which is ideal for mixing. Since you are a voice over artist, I will definitely go with 250 ohms not for loudness but for accuracy and possibly purchase a headphone amplifier to work in collaboration with your audio interface. I hope this helps Danielle.

    I think that if you include a good mic preamp you don't need to spend so much on an audio interface. the preamp will give you a great sound. if you invest in something like the Warm Audio WA12 and you get an audio interface like the Focusrite 2i2 you will have a great sound and no need to spend a fortune on an interface.

    Hey Archie, I currently record on a 10year old scarlet 2i2 usb-Interface and want to upgrade my setup to a more professional one - starting with a new interface whic should be reliable and serve me well for the next 6+ years of my production journey. As I now have the chance to buy a used (1y old) apollo solo from a local recording studio for 400€, i was wondering if you would recommend doing so or if I should rather go with a cheaper interface (e.g. Audient Id14; SSL2+ Or even AUDs Volt 276)? I heard that with only one chip, the solo might run into problems with the DSP plugins, but as I would most likely only use the free plugins one gets when buying the solo in the beginning, don’t own any analogue gear and mostly record vocals (rap/singing), I don’t know if this would even be a problem for me. Basically, would you recommend buying the solo - and is it a great interface for long term use or just a gimmick for professionals that wont be worth it for me as a semi-professional (personally I heard everything from totally overpriced and wont be able to deal with the plugins to a total game changer and recommended if one is serious about recording). I just really want a well manufactured, reliable interface and am kind of struggling to find some good information on this. Thank you in advance!

I will say this, they all sound equally as great but there are subtle difference that 99% of people can't hear, lol. I hope this helps.
