This is the most information in an under-10 minute video I've ever seen. It's dense as hell but undeniably helpful. I'm just replaying each part several times and using pause liberally in order to see what he's actually doing on the screen.
@@winstonsizemore2997 if you want something plug/play look at entry level interfaces. This is not an entry level interface, it has lots of ways to customize. Although you don’t have to. Presonus and focusrite I believe are pretty plug and play.
I own the Apollo twin X. I can program a Univac 1100 and a GE440 and canoperate an imported Swedish toaster, but this really does give me a headache. I'm watching this video multiple times to figure out how to bypass the Apollo monitoring and use DAW software monitoring with my preferred plug-ins. Shouldn't be this hard.
Yes, this is an amazing video resource - many thanks, reading the comments made me rely on RU-vid speed control and at .80% speed with the pause button ready it might be easier to digest the 'concentrate' of info. STILL - thanks a MILLION for posting. UA is way too important to bypass.
Many thanks for such an informative & knowledgable video, there is no way l could have setup this via a instruction manual. As another subscriber commented, there's a hell of a lot to learn. I too would be very interested to pay for your time when setting up external analog FX units for send and returns. Much appreciated
AT 3:58 ANSWERED WHERE I SLAMMED INTO A RICK WALL! HILARIOUS lol but this is great information. Gladly I understand exactly what you're saying. Thank YOU
This would have been a lot more useful if it were twice as long and actually explained HOW to do what it was doing onscreen, instead of merely saying WHAT to do, as if someone setting this up for first time already knows HOW. Had to rewatch like 50 times, as there are incredible leaps taken in system setups and configs that were not at all explained or explained in a passing comment. Found myself yelling at this video more than praising it.
Thanks for your video: I'm new to Logic and UAD Console. The issue I'm having is that when punch recording, I can hear both the original take and the punch-in take at the same time. Software monitoring is disengaged in Logic. In our current setup we're using the UAD Console ALT 1 Output to feed our SPL MTC Mk2 monitor controller.
This is the most frustrating piece of hardware I've ever purchased. I'm used to Focusrite, which I've used for years, which just works out of the box. This Apollo Twin has so many settings, and such poor usability, I have no idea what mode it is in. Sometimes I can get recordings in Logic, other times Logic doesn't recognise it. Is there a step by step video for beginners on how to do something as simple as "record a vocal using Apollo and Logic"?
@@itzjetlife3639 It's working at the moment, but I have no idea why. I guess I accidentally managed to hit the 20 settings in the correct sequence required. I'm now scared to touch it.
I have one problem, My version in Mac is 10.13.6 high Sierra , is this the problem why my quality is so low??, I have Apollo duo twin thunderbolt but if I record in logic my quality is damn!!! so low and I don't understand why ?????? REPLY
@@fjollaemini2508 Use Activity Monitor to confirm that your Mac has enough RAM and free CPU. The UAD Meter & Control Panel shows the resource availability on your Apollo.
@@fjollaemini2508 i have the same issue. i have a mac m1 max fully stacked and scarlet sounded better. this sounds terrible and very complicated. 2 days and still not getting too far it shouldnt be so hard to use a audio card . its not an ssl board lol
Man this video is kind of a swing and a miss. This is a lot more of an explanation of features than a set up video. I still don't know how to track through logic with my apollo? Seems like the obvious main goal here.
This video is a total miss and so far I have to say that UA is a MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT when it comes to simple things like HOW THE F*** DO YOU USE IT. Seriously when you fork out over a thousand bucks for some kit (which doesn't come with a frikkin thunderbolt cable) and there are no relevant instructions on its use my absolute recommendation would be DON'T BUY THIS CRAP!
You probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my password. I love any assistance you can offer me
buying an apollo twin x for $1100 dollars is a decision i am currently regretting! I’ve been using a scarlett 2i2 for years and this interface proves to be incredible complicated for anyone who isn’t experienced with hard core audio engineering. i just want to be able to hear my plugins thru logic and record… why is that so difficult
can someone link me a website or other video that actually explains how to set it up? i find absolutely ridiculous that my apollo twin and apollo 8 don’t work as soon as i plug them in after installing the software
The video that I like on this is from Todd Urban of Urban Sound Studio. This is only a hobby for me and my kids, and he has helped me get it all set up
Yeah I'm getting way inconsistent results from session to session, track to track... not sure if the problem is Logic or the Apollo. Like really weird shit.
sameeeee. every session sounds slightly different, and always super harsh and ear piercing even tho it isn't peaking. Super weird and no one can figure it out. Did you ever get this figured out? what were you experiencing? Please hit me up because I'm not sure what to do.
Question: I have an apollo, and recently wanted to track with logics plugins but when recording its just the dry signal you hear. Is there a way around this.? Like instead of recording with uad auto tune in console use auto tune as an audio fx in logic but still hear the effect while recording. Thanks.
You can route the audio from an Aux (with the effects on it) in Logic to virtual channels in console and monitor/play through any plugin this way. Make sure the outputs on the aux in Logic are the same as the Virtual ones in console, ie not Stereo out, but 5-6, in my case. The way you would do it in a case with a UAD plugin, either to put the effect as a record insert in Console, but make sure it is in "UAD MON" mode - or if it's a stereo plugin, as an insert on an Aux channel in Console and send it to the channel. There's a video tutorial with Fap Dupont and some woman, where he's showing you how to do this. Just search Console and Fap Dupont. Hope that helps!
Thank you for putting this out. But is there a way to simplify it by answering or showing why I cannot get any signals in my new Vocal Track in Logic Pro? I cannot record my lead vocals inside Logic Pro although I can hear the Mic and my Voice...but no recording signals in Logic Pro X. Please explain
It took me a couple of days to set up but,you have yo go into preference and load the apollo into the audio ... But even installing was annoying ,i had to turn of my comp and hold the power button to get the security window and then allow premission for the apollo..
What about audio from my microphone I’m not getting a signal in my Logic Pro X DAW from the UA Interface and for the life of me I can’t figure out why? Software? I just updated my Mac to the latest to see if that helps, not sure how to get the most recent software for UA? I’m using an SM7B and it’s not getting a signal on the channel 1 strip for audio and not outputting and I do have output and input settings under preferences in logic selected to use my UA Interface via thunderbolt connection and all it says is failed I’ve tried closing and re opening UA and Logic no dice please help someone?!! 😩
I'm kinda regretting dropping $800 on my Twin X Duo. It's just so immensely hard to set up, I hate it. I've had it for a few months now and I can't stand the whole console application you have to set up, disabling software monitoring, etc. Just let me plug the thing in and let it work. Every time I open a new logic session I have to scour the internet for a tutorial on something. Please make the product more simple, potentially with a software update. I'm sure if you made a "plug'n'play" mode, people would flock to the product.
I was the same way today. I only bought the Solo but it literally took me over 2 hours just to set it up, register, and install. I didn’t even want to use it after that cause my head hurt so much lol but I’m sure it’ll get better for us we just have to keep learning. The Twin is very powerful if used correctly.
@@velocitycurve Things have definitely gotten better. I now have a separate vocal booth, so I use the talkback mic and stuff now. There are still many features that I don’t use, particularly with the software routing side of things. I would say I only take advantage of 40% of its features honestly. One thing to be desired is a second headphone output on the back of the unit; that would make my life so much easier. Unfortunately I’m not doing as much studio work at the moment because I’m living in a different city for work for the summer, but this fall I’ll be back and hopefully learning more about the unit.
To record guitar using one of the UA amp plugins directly in the Apollo Twin X, do I select create "audio" track or create "guitar or bass" track in Logic Pro X?
On Apollo Solo ,I seem to hear the dry signal of the guitar along with the plugin efect.Is there anyway I can cut off the dry signal sound & hear only the wet?
I can not get my new apollo twin mkII to work on my mac I did all the steps but it says no devices found. Tried on a brand new macbook pro and in my imac. I don’t want to return it but it is been two days and nothing I even replace the thunderbolt cable and nothing
Make sure your system permits UAD to make changes to various processes and events. You can find permissions that may have been blocked in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Then you have to restart system usually. Additionally, UA's support indicates to have the thunderbolt icon on the cable facing upwards on both the device and your computer, don't ask me why or if this even makes a difference to most people.
In 2013 I bought my Apollo Duo. I like to monitor thru logic (no issues). But for some reason I could not turn off the Direct Monitoring on Outs1&2. My solution this whole time was to just use 3&4 outs as my mains. Now 7 years later I don't want to do that... I just mute 1&2 in Console. But if it was that easy, why didn't I do that then... and also even more confusing is... wouldn't using outs 3&4 require me to mute those channels to not hear 2 signals when recording? Surely I would have just done that for 1&2. I'm confused as to what the issue was exactly. Was it NOT possible at the end of 2013 to disable Direct Monitoring in Console... on 1&2. Anyone know? Thanks!
I’m not able to pull up my UAD guitar plugins into Logic to be able to record. I see the software recognized in Logic and can here the guitar in my headphones; but then it won’t record. Really confused as I’ve been recording midi keyboard tracks with no problem.
Hello, how's the "computer" track can be added ? Not only but also why my Apollo Twin X Duo (MAC TYPE C Ver.) have a loud pops sound when open the Logic Pro X which also switching the sample rates ? Cheers and Thanks!
Do you need to disable the console in logic pro x? Or can i use it for my virtual sound mixing? I would like to know because i want to buy the Apollo X8.
@@blaker4807 Sorry, my English isn't perfect, i'm from Belgium you see. So my sentences can be confusing. I'm talking about the mixer in logic pro x, can i use it or can i only use the mix console from the Apollo, maybe now you understand?
So, for the completely unfamiliar, how about a video that shows step by step set-up with the proper thunderbolt cables and adapters for those using earlier Mac's? I would also include step by step instructions on how to download the software and firmware. I can't get my Apollo to show up on my Mac. At first, all it would say was, NO DEVICE FOUND. Now it's sayng CONNECT DEVICE. It's connected, with Apple cables! I'm dead in the water here, and I have been searching for this information all morning. Also waiting to hear back from UA.
I brought my twin for $3000 nz dollars just to get demo plugins 🤦🏿♂️wth,and the store is expensive if your buying in nz ..we pay 3x the price .. 😒 It's putting me off,any help ??? Would be appreciated ..i really like the plugins but is it worth paying 3x the price?
My Apollo twin x does not work brand new…no microphone audio at all…lost a whole day troubleshooting and still awaiting a response from customer service…spent thousands on plugins as well 😢 - not feeling happy at all
in the Logic channel strip chose Utility -> I/O plugin and route the output out of the desired channel, into your analog device, and back in to the input.
Hi I just bought the OX Universal Audio and tried to get it running from my Apogee One interface. I receive signal from my amp that passes through the OX but when I enter through the instrument input in my Apogee it does not reproduce any cabinet sound or effects, delay or reverbs trom the Ox. I can't find it from the Logic either. Please can you help me with this? I will thank you forever. Thanks in advance.
ok can someone help me out?! My interface is a Scarlett 18i20, but I'm running a UAD-2 thunderbolt 3 satellite to mix with plugins, does the console software work with non UAD interfaces? I want to track live in the console with UAD plugins and use all the other features in this video. I've tried everything but the console software doest 'see 'my Scarlett.
Just got the twin duo set up with Logic... But I'm needing help with it still. I can hear the guitar I'm trying to record in Console but I can't hear anything in logic (Not even the metronome) Would you guys have a solution for that?? Thanks!
UA help please! I'm overdubbing some guitars on a logic session and everything I record, with or without unison plugs is printed about half a second late, I manually have to drag regions to the position I played the notes in the instrument. Why is that? I'll try disabling software monitoring but I don't think that's the issue! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
@@Helenah51 This is not where you ask questions, brainiacs? I had a question, I asked on the website, and got a response in 12 hours. This is youtube, not a repair room.
For some reason my pans on logic does not work after routing the stereo out to the virtual 1/2 of the UAD console on my Apollo Twin. This is driving me crazy.. it works fine when i turn off the Apollo and Console when the sound interface switches back to the macbook speakers. What am i doing wrong?
I think my answer is at 1:23, but I don’t know how to disable. Whenever I attempt to record a new track, my new track is recording all the previous tracks. How do I stop this from happening? Using logic pro and Apollo twin. Thank you
Can anyone explain me why should I route logic's output to console's virtual channels? I own an Apollo x6 and I'd prefer to remove virtual channels in order to save dsp
Hi guy I hope you guys can help me, I buy the Apollo twin mkll duo core two days ago, and also I went to the apple store to buy the thunderbolt cable and the adapter for my MacBook Pro 2017 I follow all the instructions from you guys to install the drivers etc, my mac they didn't recognize the Apollo twin mkll duo. I thought the cables have defected and I returned back and I buy other ones, but my mac they not recognize the Apollo, what can I do before a return the Apollo twin mkll duo core to the store?
Same here. I need a slow step by step setup video specifically for Logic pro and Apollo twin Mk 2. Especially the routing. I'm totally lost here. Up until now, I've been bypassing console completely and using UAD plugins in my Logic Pro x channel strips. Now, I'm trying to get my head around the benefit of even bothering with this type of setup. Someone please help.
@@pete3816 Whew! Good thing I figured it out way before I received this snide response to my comment. Otherwise I'd have to genuflect and actually waste a "thank you." Don't be a jerk. It's really not that difficult.
If you were initially addressing the OP their name would be there. It isn't. You were responding to the collective argument the OP and myself expressed. My statement stands. There's no room for nastiness in a creative endeavor such as ours. Your comment was unnecessarily rude and I spoke up. That's self respect, not narcissism. Anything else?
@@pete3816 You should have written OPs name yourself, then. And don't try to distract from the fact that you were out of line with that dismissive and belittling response. Own that.
is there any way to stop the installation of those tones of plugins which one needs to buy them in the end? I don't need them and I haven't got too much space on my macbook pro. Is it possible to install just the drivers and control software? thank you!
Hello. I have headphone 600 ohms impidence. Can this audio interface power my headphone? . What's the perfect headphone impedance can work well with arrow? Please help. Thank you.
Have to go along with what others said to dry of a video and really doesn’t get to the point. Having the same problem that others are having here simply want to know how to mix between logic and Apollo eight being a newbie. This information is too much and not to the point. Still trying to find my answers. Very annoyed oh well that’s tech
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-25AbId45OvY.html "its all done in the interface not on the host computer" confusing to being like what? i cannot send my logic stuff into it? I can't hear logic library selected instruments ? "console handles all my audio monitoring but can run alongside Logic pro x." confusing because can't i send my logic Library and channel strip setting out to be heard in console? why can't i just not use console at all like i can My itrack solo by Focusrite brand? "console disables software monitoring in logic so disable software monitoring in logic." Confusing because how am i supposed to hear my library settings from logic while i play and record? how will i hear the channel strip from logic? "the audio recorded in logic is sent at full level before the faders." confusing because the faders work right? like its sent at full level then you use the fader and it goes to Logic fader? I dont understand. "You can choose to record with or without effects by toggling the record/insert effects buttons." confusing because console doesn't record? if it does how? I record in Logic. so what don't i understand is you set it to record but you mean like logic or "DAW" is record enabled? Please elaborate.like what? i dont understand what you mean. you can use UAD plug ins in logic. confusing because there are so many listed to buy but he doesn't say how to hide all the ones i haven't bought. Also again. why can't i use logic plug ins and library pre sets and hear them in headphones while playing and or recording? "what is a Unison pre amp? "Pre amps are in the interface. its confusing because pre amps displayed in console what about in logic? DO i have to turn them up in logic to hear them also? he says they can be used in a channel insert. What? how? what? aren't they just sent from guitar to interface to channel strip software in console. It would be much easier for me to Have one program running instead of having to study the Console to LOGIC compatibility? "Unison preamps change physical impedance and gain staging?" what? how? like physically in the interface box located outside my laptop? or inside the software known as console!? confusing because i don't understand. "pre amps are always recorded." Okay so does that mean they are straight lined to Logic track? I dont understand. He doesn't say what I/O even stands for or the meaning of its name by defining it. "Everything you hear in the speakers is routed to the headphone outputs/" confusing because what speakers? i dont have speakers. I only have headphones. I only use headphones and dont even use the laptop speakers. Its sound like he is saying the playback is going through speakers routed to headphones like there is small rock concerts inside my computer playing imaginary speakers and sending it to my headphones. "you can also create discrete headphone mixes using console sends for your live audio tracks and logic send for individual DAW tracks" confusing because why isn't it just sent through logics output to headphones. Confusing because Live audio tracks are obviously played in Logic. but what's confusing is they should be play either through mic or guitar plugged into interface -interface converts it to digital in logic. so from console into logic right? Why use console at all? i mean like this is what makes me think i cannot bypass the console app and just use logic and the interface. Is this study of the product saying don't use logic? like what the hell. So console sends live audio to headphones but playback in logic outputs to headphones only by playback? So no input monitoring in logic i got that. But how is it heard then? what if i dont wanna use console? confusing because aren't you playing live with a guitar into interface. And you can hear it in headphones? thats what i have always done played guitar plugged into interface heard in logic with a different product by Focusrite brand. But why isn't the guitar signal going into logic? can logic show me what library has for changing instruments sounds? I still don't know how to track through logic with my apollo? Seems like the obvious main goal here. Could i please get a class on this or maybe just more questions answered? A live phone conversation with an instructor.
while im recording, i'm using plugins in Logic directly, and i want to hear them in my headphone while i'm singing. But it doesn't work, i tried manny ways.. What is the solution ?
What’s going on? You’ve been sold a pup with a handful of plugins which -if you’re lucky - you can get to work with Logic once you’ve finished your degree in advanced cryptology. It’s a total piss-take. I pity the clever guys in UA, if only they could speak to normal folk who can actually communicate with joe public.
