As mentioned in the video, these devices come in two flavors. On one hand you have a wall powered device. On the other hand you have a usb c/thunderbolt 4 powered device. Thanks for highlighting this 🙏🏾
Great video and that’s why the Apollo is so dope. The fact that you can take a $100 Mic and a great ear and bang with toe to toe with the top engineers in million dollar studios is a game changer. The twin was the best interface I ever used.
Finally! I was researching from last 2 months. Twin was too expensive for me and arrow was only for mac. It seems a great option for us who want to upgrade our interface. Hope they haven't compromised in their pre amps for the price.
Hey Justin! As soon as I saw that Bradenton Florida T-shirt I almost thought “hold on!” Has Vintage King opened a new location(close to me!!) but I quickly landed back on earth and realized you’ve probably been here at some point. Cool video! Take care!
i would love to win the apollo solo so I can mix and use the UAD plugins on the go. I love UAD stuff so much but whenever I'm mixing on a plane or car I cant use the amazing plugins because I run my studio off an apollo 16 blackface. LOVE IT! Thanks so much for creating amazing products and for the opportunity to WIN!
In a lot of these interfaces and built-in control and plug-ins they are designed for electric guitars and thus all the pre-amps, Amps, plug-ins and pre-sets etc. are designed to optimize the sounds of eclectic guitars or electric instruments. How about acoustic players such as myself that are looking to record their classical guitars and play and compose on classical or acoustic guitars?
I'm fairly certain it's just rebadged because people were more familiar with Apollo than with UA, like Gannon was saying. I can't see anything in the specs that's different than the Arrow. I don't know much about the A/D D/A converters in this versus the Apollo X series, though. I think the only thing new is that there is a USB model now, not just Thunderbolt.
greeting from rd knows the bad of his work team that never mentions the cable that comes with the apollo only ubs.c I have like a month without using it I bought it and that comes without a cable you have to announce the card but the usb type cable so well c because all types of cable do not work like that for me it was a shit the ubs c gives me an error is bought all types of cable and I continue with problem emission
I currently run my effects live in Logic Pro x. Will I still be able to do this using Apollo's own onboard effects? I don't want to have to commit to, say, reverb, eq or compression settings (maybe compression) as I record my vocals, for example. It looks like a fantastic device and will free up a lot of CPU on my Mac mini.
Thanks for the vid. How are you supposed to correctly shut down and start up the solo? It seems to get warm so I want to shut it off I turn off my monitors first and turn the volume down on the Apollo before turning off my Mac. When I turn my iMac on tho it feels like a the Apollo is starting up kinda harsh, not sure if that's the norm.thanks for any feedback
I'm looking to replace my nearly obsolete Apollo Twin Solo (purchased in 2014), as it won't be compatible with the next software update. I'm either going to buy the Solo or a new Twin X. I would like to look at a simple comparison chart between the two units, but can't seem to find one. I don't see a good reason to spend the extra money on a Twin.
If you are planning to buy a Universal Audio Interface, hit me up right here BEFORE you register it. I can refer you as a friend and we can BOTH pick a free UA Plugin!
This product interests me because the USB compatibility but how does it compare to the Apollo Twin Duo? Is this worse? Better? Or more or less the same?
I would love to enter the giveaway because I think UA makes the best interfaces out there and I would to record my upcoming album through this interface! It looks amazing!
good evening, what is the difference between these audio interfaces? the audio quality?sound full-bodied and aggressive?- Audient iD44-Universal Audio Apollo USB Only - focusrite clarett pre 4 for windows thank you
I bought the Apollo solo about 6 months ago and I am not too tech savvy. I have a MacBook and it comes with GarageBand. Do I need to download another DAW in order to get the full effect of the Apollo Solo?
Since you have a Mac, you should try using Universal Audio's LUNA. There are lot of unique features that make using Solo and LUNA together a fantastic option. Best of all? It's free.
[Sorry for the long comment! I would really appreciate it if you read the whole thing as it gives more details!] I would love to win this Apollo Solo because it would really take my tracks to a whole new level. I am a 16 year old house producer and I finally think I am at the point where I am becoming good enough to start releasing stuff on labels which has been my dream for years and years.(I am not trying to hype myself up in any way and I still have a long way to go, I am just saying this because the electronic/dance duo BONNIE X CLYDE called me a "certified legend" and said some really kind and encouraging things after I demoed a track I was working on to them on instagram live. After the live ended I proceeded to run around the house screaming it was so awesome haha) I have always heard of how good UA's DSP plugins are and how amazing the AD/DA converters sound. My interface currently is an ancient PreSonus Audiobox USB 96 that I found at my dad's house. I think a professional DA converter in a portable form factor like this would really help me get better mixes with no latency and be able to experiment more with stereo placement and imaging due to a cleaner and more professional sound. Thank you so much Vintage King for doing a giveaway like this and best of luck to all the other entries! (You can check out my music @BNVLNCE on all major streaming platforms. I only have one track released as of now and it could've been mixed a lot better looking back, but I have been working on a lot of unreleased music and hope to pump out more soon)
Universal Audio did not learn from the Arrow that, A: There are people with Thunderbolt 2 Macs not yet wanting to change their computer but want a bus powered interface for their current Mac as well as their next one, and B: iPads have become serious music production tools with companies like Steinberg making their devices fully compatible with iPad OS. Why would you release a new product line in 2020 and once again ignore those potential customers ?
Allow. UAD plugins. To run. Native. Please..... you can use a Sharc UAD device as a dongle but allow us to toggle between native and DSP like PT does. For the love of god. I no longer use UAD in my workflow bc of latency and Shark chips being slow for offline bouncing. And I HAVE EVERY PLUGIN. But can't justify using them anymore.
The difference between a Apollo Arrow and Apollo Solo is The Apollo Arrow was $499.00 and the Apollo Solo is $699.99. The rebrand is bullshit! I wish people would just tell the truth . . . UA realized they could markup the product by $200. Just be honest UA.
