WHY DIDN'T YOU INCLUDE THE BLOODY CABLE?

[@lance134679]

This is a great demo. It really helps to see the workflow of an entire session rather than just talking about it for ten minutes. I know some people won't stick around for the entire thing, but some will and pick up a few tips about recording.

[@nesicus]

@32:30 Dude, Danish Pete just swallowed that pick.

[@sergiogalicia8328]

💀💀💀💀💀

[@ABdominator66]

HAHAJAHA

[@jthescruff]

I love Tom's face when Pete's laying that lead part down at the end! Hell of a piece of tech. Great vid guys.

[@frankies.4500]

This was an amazing demo! Above and beyond! Cheers

[@jackchen8490]

I bought my Arrow three years ago and mostly use it to record vocal. recently I started playing guitar and discovered how powerful this thing truly is. lots of useful information from Tom and beautiful playing by Pete. thank you for this great video.

[@JKM395]

This is incredible. I want one!

[@stuartcarden5402]

Great video! I love this kind of stuff :D

[@Benji2N]

Jesus Pete is too good. That acoustic picking...

[@hanomag251]

That was awesome. Very inspiring!!! I should go back to my Appolo twin and try some new stuff!!!

[@MatthewJohnCrittenden]

Starting watching for the tech, stuck around for Pete's playing.

[@henrikpetersson3463]

Lovely playing by Pete as usual though!

[@PoeticMusicRSG]

¡Muchas Gracias! Me suscribo, y aunque lamentablemente no está en español, puedo apreciar el enorme potencial de la UA ARROW que acabo de adquirir, y sobre todo agradezco que den un ejemplo de la forma de trabajo ocupando los Plugins que vienen por defecto con la Interface de sonido, nuevamente ¡Muchas Gracias!

[@daraghhaddon4168]

Another great vid!

[@stevenwren4963]

One word.....Awesome!

[@shanewallace4294]

Also Danish Pete is quite a talent, I really enjoy his vibe😀

[@arthurboyy]

Amazing thanks so much!

[@ChannelGilly]

What a great invention !Nice .

[@mpactdesignmedia]

Just picked up the 'American' version of a Sigma, an AMI - absolutely DIG it! A GREAT 'budget' acoustic.

[@alexnosheds]

two great minds in a room and didn’t think to use a Y splitter for the headphones... heheheh! Nice video, curious about the Arrow. Thanks!

[@undercrackers56]

Or better yet that UA put TWO headphone outputs on their box.

[@8rk]

@@undercrackers56 Eh.. This thing is marketed towards a home recording artist. I can see 95% of its customers not needing dual headphone outs. Sure, it would've been nice.

[@kenoguitar41]

Getting mine next week :D

[@peteelectromagnetic-nether9370]

Hohner Prinz tele in the background (on the right)? Lovely

[@shanewallace4294]

Must purchase...awesome👍🏻🍻

[@simoneskesen7391]

I urge people to check out the Aston Origin mic he uses to record the shakers/guitar, it's amazing... And the price is unbelievable.

[@raiderhayseed]

Great video, but how do we find the second part on voice recording etc

[@OmarHamati]

I just purchased this machine. I have the MKH 416 mic and I want to record into the Apollo. What are some good vocal settings and is it necessary to edit in post afterwards? Like in adobe audition or should I be all set just using the Apollo using any software to record?

[@wilsonclaudiano]

Great! Please, post the RAW files! thanks

[@GazMoz78]

Seems a great product like. Pete's bass playing though.... Class! Same right hand technique as Sting. Pete da BOMB! :-)

[@connoragnewmusic]

Well I'm officially going to buy this

[@gutenbird]

Connor Agnew did you? Any thoughts?

[@ProxyRD1]

Help. I recently bought the arrow but I have a connection problem with Thunderbolt 3 because I use Windows USB I don't know if there is any way to adapt it ?????????????

[@caomhankelly3956]

Could u plug this into a combo amp or cabinet pls answer I know nothing about this software

[@lorenzowoodmusic]

Pete’s jeans are actually so nice I want them

[@FlesHBoX]

It's nice to see a small footprint interface with the XLRs on the back so I don't have to have cables strung over my desk... Now if I could justify yet another interface upgrade right now...

[@RobbyFireTV]

Wow i need this... I have been using my Focusrite Clarett 2pre and this thing is the same price??!!!! I might need to make a switch

[@nigelmccluskey]

why does it go quiet when you add reverb/compression ?

[@dekemason]

Super cool. But is the AD/DA and Preamps the same quality as the Apollo 8?

[@aliengtr]

hey what kind of video cameras do you use?

[@KIRKALAN123]

Is it possible to switch headphone output as output 3&4?

[@peterbaumgartner9280]

where is the GAIN on the PLEXI!?!? i cant find it please help

[@dirkjanranzijn]

Very interesting and I would be interested in buying this. The only thing is, I have a BeyerDynamic studio headphone (250 ohm) On my current interface I have to put the headphone volume way up to get some sound while recording and mixing. How is that with the Arrow? Can it drive 250 ohm headphones? Thank you in advance and greetings from Holland. Dirk

[@Goomba_Smash]

Please release a non-rackmounted TB3 quad DSP chip device. I do a lot of recording on the go and in the car, and while this device is great for that, the DSP limitation is really holding me back. I constantly have to freeze tracks, and some combinations of UAD plugins I can't use.

[@paulmyfinger]

The amp plugins are not full version though are they? or is that just the twin USB

[@Xenious]

Fantastic demo. While I can't justify an 8p with my current requirements I can justify an Arrow. Explaining the subsequent plug-in charges to my wife will be another challenge. ;)

[@arminverwest220]

Hello, Why you don't test the maximum output level of headphone? I have headphone 600 ohms impidence. I want to know if the UA ARROW work well with my 600 ohms impidence headphone or not ? Please help🎧🙏🎧🙏🎧. Thank you.

[@dimaivanov7107]

huawei matebook x pro vs uad arrow thunderbolt 3?

[@davidaustin4587]

Sorry, guys one minute you have no wires connected to the UA, next second you have the UA unit fully wired and not shown which inputs for mic? I was trying to work out which wires but cannot ? Not helpful?

[@wingee]

Where’s the link to the vocals being recorded?

That's my prof from Uni! Go Tom!

[@SimienHill]

what kind of microphone is that

[@viofuzzy1781]

Can I use usb to thunderbolt three adaptations

[@undercrackers56]

So they redesigned the Twin and STILL didn't add a second headphone socket?

[@samwarrener8281]

Great video

[@paw101]

Sam Warrener uploaded 2 mins ago and you comment this? I suspect someone hasn't watched it all as its 50+ minutes long 🤣

[@samwarrener8281]

paw101 i dont need to watch it to know these videos are gonna be good. They are such great quality everytime that i can know they will be great. Obviously i watched it afterwards😂

[@MarkeithJohnson]

Yup!

[@dizz0lv752]

just got one of these and cant get rid of static in my monitors, this is very frustrating since literally everything im using is brand new. i got the static to go away twice but now now matter what i do, it crackles n pops whenever i play any sound, speakers or headphones

[@JUSTKNOWMORE7954]

if you used win10 just used asiolinkpro pgm

[@nickwilson9210]

So this isn’t backwards compatible? Can you use thunderbolt 2

[@lyrasimo]

can u load VTS plug ins ?

[@onenotesolo256]

29.00: session player right there. Mainly about locking in the right hand, and (i’ve been guilty of this), not smashing the strings between chords.

[@bobboitt3126]

The single most important thing to me is lowest latency. Everything else can be tweaked with software.

[@boberios4439]

Sorry about this question, but I want to know what's the difference with the three universal audio interfaces, the Twin, the Twin MkII, and this the arrow

[@edtrukn4506]

The Arrow is bus-powered and needs Thunderbolt 3

[@GipsyJazzGuitarStyle]

Is this will work with logic pro x?

[@christopheradcock2980]

Is it only available with Thunderbolt 3? I like it, but not enough to upgrade my Mac to do so.

[@Beizeiten78]

Christopher Adcock Yep, not backwards compatible.

[@toohardtohandle]

Was thinking about it - cheaper way of getting in to UAD, but then having to spend £1500 to replace my 2011 Macbook Pro just for Thunderbolt 3.... put me off.

[@daveandrew7014]

So it’s got enough processing power to run and record the Amp plugin, Comp, EQ, Delay and Reverb on the Arrow?

[@sercanpektas27]

@Joseph Moser Very helpful information. I was looking for it. Thank you.

[@guyincascade]

From what I understand, one plugin assigned to the input channel on device, they will come from the left side of control program, the others, like reverb etc, can be pass thru, hear it while recording but not printed, or it can be printed, but its more like a plugin than assigned. I think the duos allow more assigned to the input. There are Solos and Duos

[@JPEAZI]

He totally did not understand Lee when he said he wanted the Auto Wah quack sound on the solo. I could tell he was after that ol Mu Tron 3 type of effect (think 311 Sanddollars / Garcia). That effect would have layered on that nicely. The good part is that you can easily take that part out and record it again with that Arrow unit.

[@JPEAZI]

Heck, thinking of 311. That’s a great “Sounds Like” vid right there!

[@lbinterviews]

Do you need a Mac to use it? Windows?

[@Tigerex966]

can you plug in a ac adapter and use a tb 3 to thunderbolt one adapter , or is it only for new computers with thunderbolt 3

[@toohardtohandle]

Nope. Just newer ones with Thunderbolt 3. Or buy a powered Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2/1 hub. If you find one, let me know?

[@RobbDizzl]

Wow, use up to two plugins at the same time with this beastly interface.

[@RealGengarTV]

no Way!!! TWO (2) at the SAME time :O ????

[@johnyang799]

what does this mean?

[@GabrielXDrums]

Oh man.. Apollo runs 4+ so game changing lmaooo

[@HalfBredReviews]

28:30 I thought Pete might start spinning off into space

[@rdvgrd6]

Yeah.

[@StreetTwinRider]

Tom!!

[@ehmmmjay9907]

10 hour loop of Pete shaking those shakers please!

[@peterbutrico9914]

Who let one loose at 38:49 ???

[@mvnjuan]

Do i have to use luna for these plugins? Or they can be used in ableton?

[@davidsgardell]

Bro, this video is from 2018, Luna wasn’t even announced. 😄 So, no you don’t have to use Luna. I’m running the plug-ins through their Console app to Logic.

[@johnwater862]

Hello all PLEASE help! It seems Plugging in my Arrow causes heavy CPU spikes (up to 500 percent on activity monitor) when using with audio programs, Ableton, Logic X even Spotify, Can't record anything proper at all. Programs run absolutely fine and smooth when there is no interface plugged in. Any one know the solution? Running latest Mojave OS version on 2017 Macbook pro and latest versions of software. Had same issues on my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 so I upgraded to Arrow but same problems persist. Glitchy audio, skipping audio and random cutouts. Had these issues since High Sierra. Similar to popular reported audio problems caused by the T2 security chip on the 2018 macbooks, but I have T1 chip so not sure what's going on. Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

[@campusaint]

It’s a problem of your computer, my friend, probably something on the logic board as you say it fails only when an interface is connected. My recommendation would be to take it to Apple for diagnostics.

[@JasonicIR8]

If you buy this Arrow Audio tracks, after if you want uses all this pug-in, like this demo, is not free? correct ? You need to add to buy it separately :/

[@mervolicious]

Where is the link to the tech channel singing part that Pete announced? The interface seems to be good and moreso the plugins - but for me it's too pricy to consider switching from an M-Audio M-Track 2x2 which sounds absolutely alright and my Mac can handle the plugins so far. Maybe the singing video makes me reconsider ;)

[@andertons]

Coming very very soon. Being edited at the moment.

[@paparichlall]

Which Mic is that?

[@patrickcol]

So what happened to the Fender video, did they not have Fender's permission to announce them?

[@TuckRob]

It was re-uploaded. The new upload didn't show up in subscriptions but it's there on the Andertons page so go there to access it. The new Fenders look fantastic. Some nice jams on the demos too.

[@patrickcol]

Why thank you Mr Rob.

[@hironanase20122012]

The mic sounds great What is this mic model and price?😍

[@bmwf1joel]

[@tjaartvanderwalt9164]

Does anyone know how to record the Reverb and Delay into your DAW like he did in the video? I'm new to the UAD stuff

[@sweensoman8172]

Tjaart van der Walt click Uad record on the right of console

[@estebanrojasr]

Sweenso Man ...thanks for the answer. I thought that the record button on the right was for the inputs only. Does it activate the audio channels as well ?

[@davidsgardell]

No, that’s not what he’s asking. You need to route the inserts on the AUXs in Console (pause the video where he shows how it’s setup) to your DAW, select them as inputs in your DAW and record them along with your regular input. If you’re new to Console/inserts, check out UADs demo on the Marshall Plexi, he will give you an idea.

[@tjaartvanderwalt9164]

David Gardell Thank you David! Really appreciate it. I’m gonna check that out. Thanks

[@snooze0023]

Whats the minimum pc specs you need? Will input lag be an issue or is the Arrow do all the hard work so wont matter as much pc specs. I find the lag is the biggest issue with audio interface. Looks pretty stock standard though it would also be nice if the thing could set the levels for you like the roland.

[@tedtriestech8864]

I'm confused! the room mic made the cajon sound soooo much better

[@JackFou]

The room mic i's probably set up to be omnidirectional and picks up a lot of reverberation from the room

[@DjTumbao]

can u use the arrow with a MacBook Pro 2012 ?

[@toohardtohandle]

No. It wouldn't have bus power or bandwidth needed.

[@nickwilson9210]

Does this have the same preamps as the twin?

Nick Wilson two unison preamps, if i’m not mistaken some twins only have one unison preamp

[@tierankarb]

25:52 Is that the Expedia Jimgle?

[@henrikpetersson3463]

Enough DSP to commit to a sound? Not in a million years. Have you read your own UAD instance chart UA? Also, this video nicely demonstrates an issue that they continue to ignore. Only one headphone jack!

[@guitarpoop1]

You never went over the processing power of the single chip with all these plugins applied simultaneously? How's that possible? Other people said that only two simultaneous plugins pushed their chip over the edge.

[@campusaint]

Depends on which plugins and how you use it, they probably used console to print the processing per track. So only three or four plugins are really active at all times during the mixing.

[@dongreco6886]

I would buy this today ... Except, the ONE Thunderbolt plug wouldn't allow me to daisy chain any other Thunderbolt devices. I have a MSI Gaming Laptop used for content creation etc .. and like to have my 3 external displays and this would choke off any other Thunderbolt bandwidth even though it only uses a small portion. IF I bought the Thunderbolt 2 bigger model, I would have to use a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 dongle and be in the same situation although I could daisy chain thunderbolt 2 devices. It's a BIG Data Buss, why steal it all when you don't need it

[@gerisyandrayusman241]

Camera action!! OMG, I forget with the Y converter cable for headphone 😅😅

[@MikeG-js1jt]

I dont know what the hell UA's issue is with fing USB.... ?

[@hydrin2002]

Whats that electric guitar?

[@andertons]

Duesenberg Starplayer TV

[@JosephCee]

Universal Audio made the right move branching out to the nonprofessional market. What they've done was give low budget/ bedroom/ small studio guys UA quality in small, simplistic, and affordable package, people dont seem to understand this. This reason this small interface is $500 is because you're getting high quality professional grade internals. Compare this interface with a Focusrite interface with the same ins/ outs and features for half the price and I gaurantee the difference in audio quality will be more than significant. Theres a reason brands like Focusrite are so inexpensive, because they make a very low quality product. You get what you pay for.

[@MartinStrang]

Glad to see a more affordable UA interface, probably massification will drop the price of plugins. I use an Apollo Twin MKII. The difference between UA interfaces and all others is massive. There is a reason why they are the industry standard nowadays.

[@yarbgreat1]

I'm still using a UX2 (^_^)

..very nice sounds,but is a learning curve for installation

[@ronfrancois]

Duesenberg Starplayer goodness.

[@MrGreenYeti]

So what does this do that the Focusrie Scarlett 2i2 combined with Logic Pro X doesn't do?

[@el34superlead]

It runs all the UA plugins inside the Arrow so your computer doesn't have to.

[@phfrixion]

Better latency, better converters. Probably better mic pre's too. And i'm a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 user. ;-)

[@nicdee316]

MUCH better preamps even without the Unison capabilities, better 48V (USB-powered interfaces have a hard time with phantom-powered mics), better converters, better headphone amplifier, no-latency plugins for tracking. And yeah, the UAD plugins (the 610B Unison preamp is great). They're costly, but well worth the price of admission. I currently have an Apollo 8p on loan, also have a Scarlett 2i2 for my mobile rig, been using the Saffire Pro 40 for years, also have access to a Scarlett 18i20, so yeah, I've heard them side by side. The 2i2 is a great interface for the price (I've used it countless times for work, it never let me down), but the UA stuff is miles ahead (and the price rightfully reflects that). There's no comparison, really.

[@GabrielXDrums]

Nicolas du Villard agreed. You get what you pay for, certainly.
