  • Flawless
Size: Solo Style: Thunderbolt 3
Best thing I could have gotten to kick my vocal recordings up in quality. And LUNA , the free DAW you get with it is my favorite . I've been a Pro Tools ,Studio One guy for a long time working with a Focusrite Clarett. The DSP plug ins included smoke the waves versions I have in my opinion. You have to get use to how to delegate DSP power. But for a guy like me tracking one thing at a time it's no problem. And later in post I use the freeze track option to work one track at time so I have plenty of DSP in post also. I've been using it now over a year and I've gotten pretty good with it. I go back and compare vocal sounds from before and they're almost comical in comparison. If your series about your recording sound get one. My was refurbished and was like new . No problems or defects of any kind. Since then I have bought 3 more Amazon refurbished items and every time they have been just like brand new. ... show more

  • Frustrating to Install, Here's How it Worked For Me
Size: Solo Style: USB
I returned the first one because it takes UAD at least 1 business day to reply. Plus, what's so frustrating is I'm following their instructions to the letter; and I researched the install procedures and guidelines BEFORE I purchased the Apollo (and the Volt). At first, the Apollo would not work via USB; I tried two Intel certified cables and returned it after speaking with tech support. Then, frustrated, I returned the first Apollo and purchased a UAD Volt; this time the UAD Software would not recognize the Volt no matter what cable I used. I returned that and purchased a Scarlett Solo that WORKED out the box. Determined to make this work, I purchased a UAD Apollo again! Wow! This is so frustrating! I purchased new USB-C Cables through Anker and Belkin that support high speed USB 3.0 and more. The Belkin cable is Thunderbolt 4 certified as well! The Apollo was not recognized by Windows 11. Yes, I did a clean install of Windows! I wanted to break the Apollo! I'm serious! Terrible experience! I then tried the Anker USB-C to USB-A cables; that worked as far as installing the software. After I rebooted the computer the UAD Console software launched. BUT WINDOWS would not recognize the Apollo. The Console software would not recognize the Apollo. I kept getting USB errors from UAD software. I then tried two other confirmed USB-C to USB-A cables. Still did not work! To recap, at this point, I used the Anker USB-C to USB-A cables to install the software; for some reason, that worked— it's as if there was a partial recognition of the Apollo. Then I had this crazy idea...."Why don't you try the Belkin USB-C to USB-C cable (Thunderbolt 4) again." I plugged the cable in a 5th time....and it WORKED! WOW!!!!!! What the hay man!? When this thing (Apollo) actually works.... it's beautiful. It was worth the frustration to get it to work. It's sad that a company that makes a product this good can't get it to install properly and their support takes ONE BUSINESS DAY to reply. Hope this helps someone. ... show more

  • Awesome! When it works!
Size: Solo Style: USB
I have been using this interface for two weeks, and I have to re-write my review, after the honeymoon phase. This is my first high end interface, and anything from UA. Let me say from the get go, this is a very, very cool product that sounds absolutely amazing! When it works. **I am NOT an audio engineer, and by NO means an expert. If you need an expert opinion, read another review, and skip this!** TL;DR: This is NOT for newbies! It is very awesome, but has quirks and things that you need to research and know before purchase. Edit: I returned it. My system just could not handle it, and kept crashing. I am very, very sad I have to return it, but if it does not work, it does not work. I hope somebody who does get this, will have a lot of fun with it. It's so awesome when it worked... *Stability* I have been in contact with support quite a bit since purchase. Not only how to use this thing, but more frustratingly, the stability issues. They have improved since swapping out USB-C cables, but it still suffers from crashes and freezes once in a while to the point I have to restart my PC. At this price point, it should not be this way. I will also say, it is probably user error, conflicting drivers, something not officially supported, or some other thing. It is not completely UA's fault. Still, it is very frustrating, and am still considering a refund. My 2i2 has random stability issues as well, such as sound distorting and loud hiss to the point I need to plug and unplug the device. Not nearly as often as the Apollo Solo, though. I was hoping something this high end would solve that. I did not, for my particular set up. If I am going to have similar issues, I might as well go back to my old set up of the 2i2 and the DBX 286s. I am on the fence, and will decide soon. *Ease of use* As others have stated, this device is not for newbies. You cannot just plug in and go. If you do not understand routing, you are in for a world of pain. If you are looking for in device I/O, you are out of luck. UA confirmed it is only for the higher end devices because of the limitations of USB-C. You need to find other workarounds like Voicemeeter Banana. I used OBS just fine, because it has ASIO routing capability, but that takes some finesse to learn and use. It is not that difficult, but can be frustrating. I am not sure for other programs that rely on ASIO or other drivers. Personally, it was not hard, but not fun, either. *Latency* As for the zero latency issue. I have both Ableton Live 11 Standard, and Studio One 5 Pro. I still have not figured how to route the DAWs into the Apollo and vice versa to enjoy the zero latency. I obviously still do not fully understand it, because analog monitoring in real time through the DAW still has latency. Using the UA plugins through the interface is beautiful! No latency at all! I still did not figure how to make the two things route correctly, or is in fact, impossible without the I/O tab. Maybe latency will always be there, and there's nothing I can do about it, no matter how much money I plunk down. If I do figure it out, I will amend this, and say what an idiot I was. *Plugins and Unison* The included plugins are very nice. I needed a gate, because I am in a very noisy environment. I only found one plug with a gate, and that was the API channel strip. Please bear in mind these are very pricey, name brand plugins. They work in your DAW, too. Problem is, these plugins have a steep learning curve if you have never dealt with pro level gear. Prepare for a lot of reading and frustration if you are a newcomer like me. The Unison pre is very unique, and never dealt with something like that before. it is very, very cool you can drop certain plugins in there, and get some fantastic coloring in the re-created analog gear so many pine for in the audio space. That is the feature I really, really love, and the only thing making me sit on the fence on sending it back. It's just blow you out of your socks awesome! *Price* This thing is NOT CHEAP. From what I have seen so far, this is the least pricey of the interfaces UA offers. When you do decide to drop that amount of money on something, you want it to work, even if it takes some time to learn. I am willing to learn. However, when it freezes, crashes, and dies, it is rendered a very pretty and expensive paperweight. *Should you buy it?* 1. If you are willing to learn a few things if you are not an experienced professional or hobbyist. This is NOT for newbies! 2. If you make sure your system meets ALL of the requirements. Make sure you visit UA's web site and see what is supported or not. Call customer service and ask questions before dropping your hard earned money. 3. This does NOT come with a USB-C cable! Make sure you have not only the right USB-C cable, but the correct USB-C 3.1 port! I learned this the hard way! Do your homework, and do not fall for the shills or gear snobs. ... show more
