All this being said, you still won't regret the purchase. It just seems that the options are lacking with regards to obtaining a more individualized experience. Universal Audio interfaces like Apollo Twin X exemplify a commitment to craftsmanship that we’ve forged over the past 60 years from our original founding in the 1950s by my father, Bill Putnam Sr. I wouldn't even think about taking it back. Nonetheless, more support/easier means of finding a solution to this issue should be more readily accessable.Įven with these pretty hefty issues I have with the Apollo, it's still the best of the best in terms of quality for the money. I will say, however, this could be due to ignorance and I just haven't found the answer yet. This is prevented me from even using any of the plugins yet.

It sounds normal during playback, but after export there is a very noticeable delay in whatever track the plugin was placed. Haven't figured out adjusting delay compensation when using UAD plugins in DAW. Not a whole lot but it definitely hasn't helped any.Ĥ. I'm on an i7 processor and 16gb of RAM and was hoping this Apollo would help at least some with overruns and glitches, but it almost seems to have gotten a little worse. This is in contrast to a linear rate of adjustment which keeps level adjustment at a consistent 1:1 rate.ģ. Gain knob appears to have an exponential rate of adjustment, meaning as you turn the knob, the more % of an increase there is.

None of these issues were a problem on the Scarlett.Ģ. Lastly, underruns from overloading are louder and more obnoxious-sounding than they should be. Again, there should be some sort of resilant limiter on the Apollo and/or software with a high attack and fast release so that the level right after clicking play is not so sudden and loud. Why is there no limiter of some sort to prevent this from happening? Also the 'playback cap,' if you will, aka the loudness of immediate playback, is too loud. If you choose the wrong input on a channel, you might seriously burst an eardrum no joke. The main issue I have is the gain control/allowance. before I got the Apollo and the difference is incredibly noticeable sounds more open and clean than the Scarlett does.Ĭouple things I am not too fond of with the Apollo that even my Scarlett did well.ġ. Apollo interfaces and 6 total UAD devices Universal Audio : Apollo Twin DUO. The quality on this thing is impeccable! Easy controls, slick design, and great plugins to go with it. Best of all, Apollo Twin MkII lets you record your audio through UAD.
