5 UAD Apollo Console Tips You Should be Using!

[@Redelfaulk1]

Great tips Matt! I especially dig the one for hiding the plugins I don't have purchased.

Thanks Matt, I didn't know about the copy to cue, that's handy!

[@MattHepworth]

Excellent!

[@theoversouls]

Thank you!

Hi Matt, I see you had several plugins on demo when showing how to hide but your demo length said 361 days? How are you getting such long demos?

[@MattHepworth]

Ah, keen eyes! UA sometimes provides me with longer extensions so I can better help people on UAD Forums, or if I'm using a loaner piece of hardware.

@MattHepworth Ah I see, no hope for me then haha. I have recently been looking into expanding my setup, I currently use the apollo twin quad as was only recording single instruments and vocals but have recently been looking to do more for demos with live drums. Without spending 3k on expanding with a apollo x8p what would you say was a sensible option?

[@MattHepworth]

On the super budget side, a Mackie Blackbird, but you'll need to have access to an older rig to set it up in stand-alone mode with the right settings. Otherwise, check out the Audient or Clarret OctoPre.

@MattHepworth Thank you, just run that via ADAT?

[@MattHepworth]

Yeah. 10 ins. It'll work for drums if you plan ahead a bit.

I didnt see the plug-ins on that screen on my apollo console? on my new X8
