Feels great, sounds great, and the UAD plugins just seal the deal. Luckily I have a small laptop cooler who did is work just fine, cooling the Apollo perfectly.Ĭonclusion: Get it! All it matters is Music, and this will be an important asset regarding your generals' sound quality. Still a desktop-format 2-in/-6-out audio interface with 24-bit/192kHz capabilities, the Apollo Twin MkII would be almost indistinguishable from the original were it not now black rather than silver. LUNA transforms Apollo interfaces into the most inspiring and fullyintegrated Macbased recording systems on the planet. I also sensed the unit running hot in the first week I got it, (an extremely hot week with my studio reaching 30º Celsius). The new Apollo Twin MkII is essentially more of the same, but with a few minor improvements, and an optional DSP upgrade.

Not a major issue, meaning I should make more use of the freeze tool. When projects got heavier, I pushed my old rme to a buffer size of 4096, however, in the Twin, the limit is set to 2048.

The UAD plugins are something else - really analogue feel!Ĭons - A thing I noticed right away was by the time I opened some heavy projects, there was some 'chocking' due to the buffer size. The hardware is practical, the knob feels great and looks great as well. Pros - General sound quality feels in somehow superior, but that might be biased for the present monitor positioning. The Apollo Twin brings impressive sound quality and UA plug-ins to the desktop, along with unusually versatile mic preamps The latest addition to Universal Audios growing Apollo family is a desktop audio interface which incorporates their UAD2 Powered Plug-ins platform. However, it was time to upgrade my Audio Interface and I've chosen this one. I've come from an RME HDSP 9632 which I was very pleased with its low latency, general features, and I've used it for over 10 years.
