Case Study - Recording A Band With Universal Audio Apollo Interfaces 

Just opened up my first Apollo interface - an x8 - this was a great video for me in showing so many of the choices ahead. Thanks!

Great video! One remark. Plugins (mic-pres) in the unison slot are always printed to the daw. The inserts can be monitored only, or printed to the daw.

I don’t use their amp sims but I do record my band with a pair of 8p’s and unison preamps (usually the API’s) and then I take it home to mix on a Apollo twin and 3 accelerators (which I got for free on various promotions). I’m definitely a fan.

the Keyboardist's hair is the real star

Nice overview of a session: thanks. Sounds good.

I've done it in September and October of 2016. We daisy-chained 3 Apollos (Two Apollo 8P's and one Apollo 8). Great sound!

Love your goodness and information, BEST

Would love to hear a mixed version of this. Sounds awesome straight out...a good post mix would make it sound amazing!

The ua stuff is great. I really enjoy their bass emulations but i haven't fallen in love with the guitar amps like i have with everything else Ua offers. For now ill keep using my eleven rack for guitars.

That sweet red fro on keys 👌

Hello. Thank you for the video. But question : What's the reason to not print the guitar and bass ? is that to be able to make a re-amping after the recording session ? If yes, will you use the same rig by changing the routing ?

I love Universal Audio, watch every video you guys make; but I have to be honest i'm starting to feel like you are partners with UA. Could you clear this relationship for us ?

I have always wanted to record my music so I’m starting construction on my home studio and I just purchased an Apollo 16. I have never used one or recorded so my question is: Is there a good book or a good website that explains how to use / work the Apollo 16? Another question I have is: due to lack of $ I can’t afford a Mac Pro (rack version) so I am considering buying a Mini Mac. Would the Mini Mac work? I appreciate your help and expertise in this matter.

Equipment sales people always use all sorts of mic's for drums !

I've had this same problem with the Apollo 8p. I sent it to Universal audio, (at my expense), for a fix and it returned today in the same condition! I will call them tomorrow. The tech support has not been great. I agree, "better at marketing then quality control". Here is another link that shows the same problem. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-alwW-2p3-uA.html

everything sounds great, but I think the drummer needs a different snare drum it just didn't sound good in the mix
