Very helpful video, im new to this subject i was wondering if its possible to use 5 xlr unison mics (to record a piano) using this audio interface. Is it possible or i would need to get the x6 version instead?
Now they have some plugins that work without an Apollo, but some still require the Apollo. On their website, they now have a chart showing which plugins can run with/without an Apollo
So is this the solution I need, to remove a lot of hardware from our live rig? I play in a duo with an electronic musician, so we can run 2 vocal chains, a guitar amp sim chain, and an analog synth chain, without the live latency woes?
the UAD neve preamp is just a software emulation (with small changes that happen at the hardware level like the impedance of the preamp) of the neve 1073 preamp, trying to emulate the sound of the original 1073 hardware unit. A neve 1073 preamp purchased as a standalone hardware unit is an entirely different preamp.
@@JawillOwens I highly recommend it. I think it's on sale now too. The other 2 good unison plugins are the Avalon and the Manley voxbox. Get demos of all 3 and see which one fits your vocal best
Depends how many things you’re tracking at once. If it’s just 2 mono signals, then the twin is good, if it’s 4 inputs at the same time, then x4 is better
Unless there’s a specific reason for stereo, all vocals should be recorded in mono, so 2 channels should be enough for you (one mono channel for you and one mono channel to record the other person)
No, Apogee has the best symphony AD/DA converters & +80 db preamps, but if you want more than 2 In/Out & plugins you can get the Apollo X4 is a great interface! :)
@@apostolicway2604 If you’re on a Mac, I’d recommend downloading Luna and giving that a test drive. It integrates Console directly within the DAW itself and it’s a mighty fine DAW at that! No more bouncing between whatever DAW you use and Console.
Thank you for the info. Update: I ended up going w audient i44 latest model and loving it. I hear the hype on the apollos but I don’t know just not convinced honestly. Again I’m happy so far.
To be honest I wanted one but I realized how useless and outdated UAD is. Sure the plugins may sound great but with the MacBook M1's out and how PCs have evolved is it still worth the price when it computer with its internal DSP can do 10x more than an Apollo could and when it comes to Plugins Apollo is far from the best and they're expensive. RME UCX ii smokes this thing, it has better latency with USB 2.0, better preamps better, everything!
I bought a rme. unpacked it. opened the software. worked 2 hours on it : NOTHING WORKED. REALLY NOTHING! looks (and works ) like from 1987 send it back ... See how different taste and habit is...
