Nuevo APOLLO, nuevo Estudio
Reemplazar mis equipos de Avid por el nuevo Apollo Quad replantea todo, desde un mejor sonido hasta una mejor administracion de todo gracias a la consola. Tener la posibilidad de ajustar y almacenar diversos "settings" es un lujo!!! Tengo ajustes para grabaciones basica y los ajustes de monitoreo favoritos, incluso puedo divertirme tocando la bateria del estudio a los niveles favoritos de headphones con el "recall".
Y lo mejor.....todo esta sonando increible!!!!

Hi All
I have just done a block of recording in remote Australia using the UA Apollo, recording up to 12 tracks, sending headphone sends to producer, main out to camera and operator, one to myself, and recording straight to Pro Tools. Apollo never played up, in very hot conditions, was an ease to use and mix on when we returned back to base. Awesome kit..few thoughts though, when adjusting the pre amp gain, seem to need to activate gain knob twice to change gain, very finicky with power up mode, so as not to get firewire overload, even if no plug ins are present, but that had no effect on the audio. After you return from linked stereo tracks they loose their panning, love the Pro Tools mode, plug ins are very addictive.
Have fun with yours

I haven't found the Universal I/O section in Pro Tools 10 or 11 yet. When I get Pro Tools to play fair I'll test and review the Apollo.

Sounds AMAZING!!!!!!!
I thought my apogee interfaces sounded good, but I heard other peoples review on the Apollo and I'm really serious about sound and getting all of my mixes right so I decided to buy it and it changed my life. It is honestly like pulling a blanket from over your speakers.

Best soundcard ever!!
Im so amazed. It's the best soundcard i have ever worked with, No comparaison.
The plugins sounds like the real thing, and the latency is low. Very impressive, i look foreward to working with :)
Best regards

Apollo - The Best Audio Interface!
I spent months researching audio interfaces & after serious consideration I practically rebuilt my Mac Pro, maxed out memory, new FW800 card, swapped all drives for solid state, in preparation for buying the Apollo Quad & I can assure you it was worth it.
The Console app is awesome, especially now it has Flex routing. Logic is my DAW & I've used it for almost a decade - but I don't use it's plugs - Universal Audio's are simply the best.
For clarity, simplicity & sonic satisfaction it's mind blowing how great the Apollo is. Buy It.

It make´s me happy!
It´s very easy to work with, sounds very good- clear. open, warm and seems reliable so far! Quite expensive but it`s worth it.

Simply beautiful!
I have been fighting with latency on my previous USB audio interfaces since I sold my big ProTools HD rig just before it's price dropped dramatically on Ebay a few years back. My Mac was fast enough to handle the track count I needed, so I switched from ProTools HD PCI cards and tried interfaces from RME, Naitve Instruments and Apogee with quite good results - except for the latency when recording my acoustic and electric guitars. When I connected the UA Apollo via Thunderbolt, my reaction was "Wow!". Not only could I for the first time record with absolutely no latency at all, but the audio quality was so much better! The fact that I can use all those great audio plugins from UA both in the Apollo and inside my DAW's, is simply beautiful!

Apollo, too cool
What's not to love?
My new Apollo helped me streamline my home set up by replacing 3 different items I had been using.
I was pleasantly surprised by the conversion quality, the clarity and focus of the monitor path, and sound of the mic pre's.
The Console software is intuitive and powerful, flex routing is brilliant.
And to top it off, the ability to monitor inputs through (and/or print) UA plug ins, just too cool.
Big win in my book, thanks UA, job well done.

A dream comes true.
The Apollo is amazingly well built, very logically laid out and functions very well.
The ability to monitor with the plug-ins or record using the plug-ins is a dream come
true. The console software is well thought out, although it would be nice to roll
the functions of the UAD Meter software into the Console software.
I have had partial issues with my DAWs not "catching" the Apollo and while it
was a simple matter to launch the console and have the DAWs "found" the
plug-ins, and perhaps with future updates of the DAWs and or the UAD-2 software,
this issue will be addressed. It is not a frequent issue. The audio quality is excellent.
The unit is dead quiet and no frequencies are hyped, so it has a very clean, clear
neutral sound. Great.

Apollo Interface
I love my Apollo it has been very reliable and has helped me do my job more effectively my mixes sound bigger because of the plug-ins that uad provides

Very pleased! - (Apollo Duo)
This is our first real interface (coming from the ~$400 mbox).
It sounds great. Decent amount of I/O. The preamps can hold their own as my additional 4-8 to back up my first 4 on my lunchbox. Conversion sounds clean. I will say that the biggest and best surprise is the UAD plugins, which were part of the reason I went with UA for the interface. The plugins sound great, especially the mixing/mastering ones. I only gave it four stars because (and this may be my issue for not getting the QUAD) but I run out of DSP relatively fast if I'm using a lot of plugins. I can always bounce tracks or step up and get a UAD satellite or (wait for it....) daisy chain another Apollo when I need more inputs.
Highly recommend it!

apollo
im loving the apollo its the best piece of gear i own my only concern is when the firewire of the apollo is connected to my mac the mac wont restart or shutdown properly

Great Concept but VERY BUGGY
i recently purchased a UAD card with many plugins so Apollo made sense for me, however ive been very annoyed by all the problems it has with Firewire. Even after dealing with tech support, not a session goes by when it deauthorizes plugins i purchased either on my PCI card or the apollo. Hopefully, tech support will help me?? But after doing research on this its a common issue....

Im a new with home recordings.
I really like the Apollo with my Logic. It is so easy to use and very low latency.
Perfekt with al the input and outputs.

Working Hip Hop on Apollo Duo.
Buying Apollo Duo + Duo Satellite was a meditated election, after comparing hardware features as AD/DA Converters and plugins quality, it' was obvious that's searching a old smooth vintage sound working on a digital studio, UAudio was the only election.
After all the studio is installed and my first 2 weeks of works i can easily say that i'm in love with the Apollo sound definition, and the incredible sound of the plugins like R88, Studer800, Presicion limiter or Space eco.
In addition, i want to make a special mention for the online help of UAudio, as is well known a studio installation can be a real brain-twix, but UAudio online help and videos are just wonderful.
I 100% recommend this Apollo.

iLove The Apollo
iWanted an interface that could deliver the sound I've been working hard to achieve for years, rich, clear, honest quality recordings with hassle free zero latency, and iFailed - miserably, right up until the day iReceived the Apollo. Now, instead of dreaming about the sound iWant, iDream about the sound iMake. Thank You Universal Audio ?

speechless
being totally DAW based and slowly but surely improving my setup - for the first time my mix is solid well defined and clear imagery - apollo sure makes me proud of my work and inspires and challenges me to create better mixes.
