Connecting Outboard Gear To The Apollo x8 For Mixing 

Buddy, this is the very best video about UAD x PT i/o routing. Thank You. I spent all my day trying to figure it out.

Broooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Aint no wayyyyyyyyy!! This just blew my shit! (mind) Wowwww man! Now I see the use of patch panels. I have a X32 mixer and apollo x6 at home and boyyyyy Im about to go crazy when I get home routing that up! Thnx man

Oh my God. THANK YOU for sharing this. I'm a newbie and was trying to figure out the easiest way to connect my outboard hardware compressor, reverb and EQ to my Apollo into Pro Tools. Keep em coming please. These are so very helpful.

This is exactly what Ive needed (and other videos have neglected to break down) - a thousand times thanks!

Thank you I was having problems but after watching this video it all got resolved..

Very thankful for this video and the easy follow-along, at first it didn't make sense and now I'm doing what I always wanted inside protools like re-amp and vocals on external effects. Thank you!

Dope about to get my WA 73 with the combo WA 1B can’t wait to start doing this with my Apollo X8

Thanks bro, Great way to get your inserts to work.

Great video, and really appreciate you making it easy to follow and understandable! Awesome!

Awesome Vid my man! Not much info bout exactly this. Thanks so much!

Thanks for this video!

Thank you for this! Really helpful!

Amazing video 🙏🙏🔥🔥

Thank you so much! Excellent tut! Subscribing... :)

Hi ! Great Video mate What are you using to record yourself while using the DAW ?

Great video much Lov man this help out a lot

I think you can actually bypass the preamp on twins by choosing the line input. Great vid anyway... 🙏

I got a question i ran my 1073 preamp in line 1 i wanted to add my avalon 737 as an insert but the avalon is mono so i went op from avalon to ip 3 in apollo x8 and op apollo to input avalon but when i playback the track with avalon as insert i could hear double not sure what to do.

Do you have any recommendations on how to send multiple mixes to a five piece band? Do I need an external mixer?

Could I connect a digital piano to the x8’s line inputs at the back using two TRS cables for stereo as opposed to just a single TRS cable mono?

Awesome video! Just had a question any reason for sliding the inserts over and stacking them on the last inserts? Thank you great content here!

What protools are you using? And what computer are you using

How would you do this with a summing mixer?

Hi. Can i ask question? I have Apollo twin usb, Evo Sp8 mic preamp and Klark teknik Eqp-kt. I couldn't connect them completely. My audio interface and mic preamp has optical in, out. Apollo twin has only in. I connected them by optical cable. After my inputs, outputs extended. I connected them to each other like first i connected my mic cable on Evo Sp8 mic input, and then from Eq output to Apollo mic input, after from Eq input to mic preamp line out. I am currently connected like that. I did these connections. Is it right or wrong connections? I tried to make route in my Daw and Uad console. I use Ableton live and Presonus. I used Unison preamp when i recording vocals before i connect with Mic preamp. After that i can't use unison preamps only use inserts why i can't use Unison preamps with preamp?😢 Please help me. Thank you.

great vid what about delay compensation ?

Running line outs to a patch bay but no signal I would think even with no DAW in use you could route line level audio out Both primary and ALT speakers work fine using but the remaining line outs have no signal

Great video. Don’t you want to stereo link your 2 tracks in console? Or at least pan them R and L?

Is there any degradation with the stereo bus mix going through the A/D converters again?

Eres genial!! Gracias por tu ayuda, llevé mucho tiempo sin resolver este problema en mi APOLLO, pero gracias a ti, ya lo tengo muy bien configurado.🥲😃

Thankkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk you bro.

Hello. Great video. Planning to change my interface (lynx aurora8) with apollo x6. And i have some external preamps. I'm sorry if i missed but try to find out if i can connect external PREAMP to apollo x6 NOT via adat. Like the way you connected your compressor. Thanks for your answer in advance..

I want to hook up outboard gear. I want to hook up a Pre Amp and a compressor to my Apollo x6 Rackmount. Am i able to hook both those up to my Apollo x6 or would I need an Apollo x8 to be able to do that? I appreciate any feedback 💯

Hey man i have a scarlet 18i20 first generation if i buy a apollo universal audio could i make a pultect Eqp work on logic pro x using the right cables thank you i appreciate it

Hi do you connet outboard gear to studio one 6?

Hi man. Thanks for sharing this! Could you please tell me how do you make active/inactive i/o inserts so quickly? am I missing a shortcut? I'm using two clicks for bypassing and that's annoying... Thank you in advance!

Ughhh bro can anyone help me do this with a twin but I’m trying to run pre recorded audio through my 500 series and back to Apollo

Does this work for the Apollo x4?

Nice! I am about to invest x8 interface, however if i have bunch of outboard more than 12 units, would the x8 handle all the connection or and x16 , if not can a patch be used! im only buying apollo because i of spdif to connect adc converter, as i use bigsix at the moment, hoping it would be easy set up and workflow! Thanks!!

So I want to start adding outboard gear to my studio, im running an Appolo twin and have been using UAD n waves plugins mostly . My question is, so if I want to use the outboard gear , pre, eq, comp for tracking , and mixing . How would I do that? Say I have multiple tracks like chorus and adlibs and want to change the EQ on the outboard gear on that track ? If I change the setting on the outboard gear it would change it on the other track ? How does the daw save those specific settings on an outboard gear for individual tracks? I can’t wrap my head around this.??

Your running the old system for pro tools my x6 won’t work with Mac OS got the old version of pro tools 🤦🏾‍♂️

Hey, can you tell me what type of cables are they?

Why won’t this work for the Apollo twin?

don't forget to pan the tracks L+R ;)
