Broooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Aint no wayyyyyyyyy!! This just blew my shit! (mind) Wowwww man! Now I see the use of patch panels. I have a X32 mixer and apollo x6 at home and boyyyyy Im about to go crazy when I get home routing that up! Thnx man
Thank you, very clearly explained. I'm trying to get my Cue 3 to send stereo from line 5/6 out to a chain of stereo pedals and back into line 5/6 within Console, so I can play guitar and route it via Console without opening Pro Tools and starting a session. This was a good refresher on how to do it with Pro Tools, especially aligning the IO matrix.
I got a question i ran my 1073 preamp in line 1 i wanted to add my avalon 737 as an insert but the avalon is mono so i went op from avalon to ip 3 in apollo x8 and op apollo to input avalon but when i playback the track with avalon as insert i could hear double not sure what to do.
Oh my God. THANK YOU for sharing this. I'm a newbie and was trying to figure out the easiest way to connect my outboard hardware compressor, reverb and EQ to my Apollo into Pro Tools. Keep em coming please. These are so very helpful.
With the Apollo x gen2 the XLR Mic input can bypass and route directly to A/D converters. No need to XLR to TRS 0.25in into Line 1. The option is in console settings.
Very thankful for this video and the easy follow-along, at first it didn't make sense and now I'm doing what I always wanted inside protools like re-amp and vocals on external effects. Thank you!
Hello. Great video. Planning to change my interface (lynx aurora8) with apollo x6. And i have some external preamps. I'm sorry if i missed but try to find out if i can connect external PREAMP to apollo x6 NOT via adat. Like the way you connected your compressor. Thanks for your answer in advance..
Wish there was a way to use the Apollo Twin (expander unit) with outboard. All my I/0 is taken on my x8 with outboard pres (x8 inputs) and Dbox+ for monitoring (x8 outputs). The only thing the Apollo Twin offers as an expander unit is 2 extra inputs and the DSP.
Hi. Can i ask question? I have Apollo twin usb, Evo Sp8 mic preamp and Klark teknik Eqp-kt. I couldn't connect them completely. My audio interface and mic preamp has optical in, out. Apollo twin has only in. I connected them by optical cable. After my inputs, outputs extended. I connected them to each other like first i connected my mic cable on Evo Sp8 mic input, and then from Eq output to Apollo mic input, after from Eq input to mic preamp line out. I am currently connected like that. I did these connections. Is it right or wrong connections? I tried to make route in my Daw and Uad console. I use Ableton live and Presonus. I used Unison preamp when i recording vocals before i connect with Mic preamp. After that i can't use unison preamps only use inserts why i can't use Unison preamps with preamp?😢 Please help me. Thank you.
My thing is, I want to record VOCALS (1 mic) and use my Analog Compressor on the way in, I dont own an analog pre-amp so I need to figure out how to XLR>Apollo pre>Back out to Hardware Compressor, then back in > Line Record. Console is super confusing though....do you know how I can do this? ...Live btw, compressing on the way in, but using the Unison Pre's first. So confusing.
Yea cause technically output 1&2 are his monitors, so you have to slide everything over two that way when you go to use the inserts it’s routed to go to the comp not doubling in your monitors
I want to hook up outboard gear. I want to hook up a Pre Amp and a compressor to my Apollo x6 Rackmount. Am i able to hook both those up to my Apollo x6 or would I need an Apollo x8 to be able to do that? I appreciate any feedback 💯
Hey man i have a scarlet 18i20 first generation if i buy a apollo universal audio could i make a pultect Eqp work on logic pro x using the right cables thank you i appreciate it
inserts nots working i routed my fusion on 7-8 in and out of x8p they both are talking to each other but not getting back into protools print track if you know how this can be solved please ping back
Running line outs to a patch bay but no signal I would think even with no DAW in use you could route line level audio out Both primary and ALT speakers work fine using but the remaining line outs have no signal
Hi man. Thanks for sharing this! Could you please tell me how do you make active/inactive i/o inserts so quickly? am I missing a shortcut? I'm using two clicks for bypassing and that's annoying... Thank you in advance!
There is a shortcut to bypass and make inactive. I’m not at my keyboard but I think it’s command click to bypass and maybe option command click for inactive. But could be wrong I need to be at a keyboard to remember
Nice! I am about to invest x8 interface, however if i have bunch of outboard more than 12 units, would the x8 handle all the connection or and x16 , if not can a patch be used! im only buying apollo because i of spdif to connect adc converter, as i use bigsix at the moment, hoping it would be easy set up and workflow! Thanks!!
awesome,Thanks for reply, x8 on the way next week, I will follow the video once i have the unit!ill be using a burl for master clock, so wanna see how all this integration pans out., Thanks again sir!
So I want to start adding outboard gear to my studio, im running an Appolo twin and have been using UAD n waves plugins mostly . My question is, so if I want to use the outboard gear , pre, eq, comp for tracking , and mixing . How would I do that? Say I have multiple tracks like chorus and adlibs and want to change the EQ on the outboard gear on that track ? If I change the setting on the outboard gear it would change it on the other track ? How does the daw save those specific settings on an outboard gear for individual tracks? I can’t wrap my head around this.??
With outboard gear the DAW doesn’t save any settings. You manually set it for each track then print it down. If you need to reuse the settings then you take a picture or write it down so you can recall the settings later.
@@Gang-25j yeah instead of saving settings you have to bounce the track with those out gear settings then u can change setttinfs for another vocal or instrument strip / channel. Now I know lol
Buddy, this is the very best video about UAD x PT i/o routing. Thank You. I spent all my day trying to figure it out.
This is exactly what Ive needed (and other videos have neglected to break down) - a thousand times thanks!
Broooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Aint no wayyyyyyyyy!! This just blew my shit! (mind) Wowwww man! Now I see the use of patch panels. I have a X32 mixer and apollo x6 at home and boyyyyy Im about to go crazy when I get home routing that up! Thnx man
😂 have fun
@@RawTechniqueStudios Really, thnx again tho 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thank you I was having problems but after watching this video it all got resolved..

How would you do this with a summing mixer?
I got a question i ran my 1073 preamp in line 1 i wanted to add my avalon 737 as an insert but the avalon is mono so i went op from avalon to ip 3 in apollo x8 and op apollo to input avalon but when i playback the track with avalon as insert i could hear double not sure what to do.
Do you have any recommendations on how to send multiple mixes to a five piece band? Do I need an external mixer?
Oh my God. THANK YOU for sharing this. I'm a newbie and was trying to figure out the easiest way to connect my outboard hardware compressor, reverb and EQ to my Apollo into Pro Tools. Keep em coming please. These are so very helpful.
Glad I could help!
If I have a patch bag as well. What’s the best way to set up easily switching this to a tracking setup?
With the Apollo x gen2 the XLR Mic input can bypass and route directly to A/D converters. No need to XLR to TRS 0.25in into Line 1. The option is in console settings.
Dope about to get my WA 73 with the combo WA 1B can’t wait to start doing this with my Apollo X8
Amazing video 🙏🙏🔥🔥
Thanks bro, Great way to get your inserts to work.

great vid what about delay compensation ?
This is a great question and there's almost 0 content about it

Could I connect a digital piano to the x8’s line inputs at the back using two TRS cables for stereo as opposed to just a single TRS cable mono?
Hello. Great video.
Planning to change my interface (lynx aurora8) with apollo x6. And i have some external preamps.
I'm sorry if i missed but try to find out if i can connect external PREAMP to apollo x6 NOT via adat. Like the way you connected your compressor.
Thanks for your answer in advance..
No you don’t have to use adat

Thanks for this video!
I have the X4 want to hook it up with my MPC, is that possible?
Is there any degradation with the stereo bus mix going through the A/D converters again?
is there?
Hi ! Great Video mate
What are you using to record yourself while using the DAW ?
Great video. Don’t you want to stereo link your 2 tracks in console? Or at least pan them R and L?
My thing is, I want to record VOCALS (1 mic) and use my Analog Compressor on the way in, I dont own an analog pre-amp so I need to figure out how to XLR>Apollo pre>Back out to Hardware Compressor, then back in > Line Record.

Awesome video! Just had a question any reason for sliding the inserts over and stacking them on the last inserts? Thank you great content here!
Yea cause technically output 1&2 are his monitors, so you have to slide everything over two that way when you go to use the inserts it’s routed to go to the comp not doubling in your monitors
Great video, and really appreciate you making it easy to follow and understandable! Awesome!

Hi do you connet outboard gear to studio one 6?
pipeline in studio one is the best for it
Nice! I am about to invest x8 interface, however if i have bunch of outboard more than 12 units, would the x8 handle all the connection or and x16 , if not can a patch be used! im only buying apollo because i of spdif to connect adc converter, as i use bigsix at the moment, hoping it would be easy set up and workflow! Thanks!!
I guess it depends on if you are chaining anything or everything has it's own ins and outs. With that much gear a patch bay can definitely help.
awesome,Thanks for reply, x8 on the way next week, I will follow the video once i have the unit!ill be using a burl for master clock, so wanna see how all this integration pans out., Thanks again sir!
@@khalilroukozuad clock is good on its own..plus you still won’t hear a huge difference with that burl..have fun though

People take pictures
Man if you thought the daw saves Outboard settings then you need to start over with learning everything bro
@@Gang-25j yeah instead of saving settings you have to bounce the track with those out gear settings then u can change setttinfs for another vocal or instrument strip / channel. Now I know lol
@@WooDeWow yeah kind of a manual process huh. That's the traditional tactical aspect you don't get from plug ins.
Does this work for the Apollo x4?
this
Great video much Lov man this help out a lot
Hey, can you tell me what type of cables are they?
depending on your setup either trs or trs to xlr. Some gear uses xlr to trs and some just trs.
I think you can actually bypass the preamp on twins by choosing the line input. Great vid anyway... 🙏
Thank you so much! Excellent tut! Subscribing... :)
Ughhh bro can anyone help me do this with a twin but I’m trying to run pre recorded audio through my 500 series and back to Apollo
Thankkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk you bro.
Why won’t this work for the Apollo twin?
It does work look on the back side 3 & 4 is line output in the back of the Apollo Twin
Your running the old system for pro tools my x6 won’t work with Mac OS got the old version of pro tools 🤦🏾♂️
i just wanted to use my pedal board as an insert in my twin's console to play live without logic pro
don't forget to pan the tracks L+R ;)
Eres genial!! Gracias por tu ayuda, llevé mucho tiempo sin resolver este problema en mi APOLLO, pero gracias a ti, ya lo tengo muy bien configurado.🥲😃
