Feels great, sounds great, and the UAD plugins just seal the deal. Universal Audio are at the top of the recording game and the Twin Apollo X outshines everything else in its class. Luckily I have a small laptop cooler who did is work just fine, cooling the Apollo perfectly.Ĭonclusion: Get it! All it matters is Music, and this will be an important asset regarding your generals' sound quality. Check out Universal Audios breakthrough Apollo Twin High-Resolution Audio Interface, featuring superior 24-bit/192 kHz sound, Realtime UAD Processing, and U. I also sensed the unit running hot in the first week I got it, (an extremely hot week with my studio reaching 30º Celsius). Not a major issue, meaning I should make more use of the freeze tool.

When I finally decided to order my Universal Audio Apollo Twin audio interface, (I’ll be honest) I was a bit unsure if it would be worth the money. The hardware is practical, the knob feels great and looks great as well. Pros - General sound quality feels in somehow superior, but that might be biased for the present monitor positioning.

I've come from an RME HDSP 9632 which I was very pleased with its low latency, general features, and I've used it for over 10 years.
