When I got it home and plugged it in, I immediately saw the ‘New Devices Found’ indicator and was relieved of my painstaking hours of troubleshooting.Īt this point, I thought I was in clear, and for the most part I was. I took a trip to my local Best Buy and low and behold, they had one. It’s not very common and I for sure didn’t have one at home.
The cable that is used with the Twin is known as a USB 3.0 B-Type. After many hours of troubleshooting I decided to try one drastic idea: change the USB cable. I truly believed that my motherboard could not function with this audio interface. I scoured the internet for answers on support forums of all kinds to no avail. When I got all connected and booted up my PC, I immediately had issues. Universal Audio, in general, has been designed with Macintosh computers in mind. I’ve never had any issues connecting via ADAT.įinally, there’s the 12V DC input and a power switch, but no one cares about that part. I currently use my Twin alongside a MOTU 8pre. This is huge for anyone who wants to expand their input count for recording drums.
I own lots of pre-amps that are ADAT compatible. One of the biggest selling points for me on the Twin is the Optical In. Depending on if you bought the Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 variant of the Apollo will determine which connector lies next. On the rear side of the Apollo lies two analog inputs, which are switchable between mic and line (important to note that there is also a Hi-Z input on the front of the interface for recording instruments like guitars and keyboards).įor outputs, there are two monitor outs and an additional stereo line out. I mainly use the giant knob in the middle to control my monitor volume.Īll of these parameters can be controlled on your computer via the UAD Console. The newer version of the Apollo Twin did add a mono button to the front of the Twin. They allow for pre-amp selection, gain, input type, hi-pass, +48V, pad, phase, stereo link, and switching between monitors and headphone volumes. The front of the interface has many buttons and toggles, though I rarely use these knobs. You know how when you pick something up and it feels solid? This is the exact feeling I got.
When I first opened the box of the interface, I was immediately impressed.
