Glad you threw some rock n roll in there.

Thank you for making SSL channel native

They did????

@@KingYahuchanon yup!!

[@brandonashford561]

@@UniversalAudiofor Apollo version owners, is the native version free?

[@UniversalAudio]

No, it's an upgrade to the native version with side chain. $9.99 if you own both SSL plugs, or $49 to upgrade to both if you only have one.

Please make Neve stuff Native! That's pretty much the only thing left.. 🤞

Out of no where they finally drop new interfaces??

they are essentially the same

[@athonygraham8353]

I don't think they did.

[@the80386]

almost the same really. everybody wanted new DSPs (UAD3). but that's probably not happening, ever.

[@kayahanli]

Is there any update on preamps, processing power and/or headphone-amps? I could not find apollo x6/x8 headphone output impedance levels anywhere. What is the headphone output impedance levels of the new vs old models?

[@UniversalAudio]

Updated conversion and HP amps. Same preamps and processing

[@kayahanli]

All available specs are listed in the manual.

[@kscott360]

@@UniversalAudioYou can’t be serious 😂😂😂😂 Every UA customer on the planet complaining, , expecting and wanting a new chip for centuries because it’s not doing the job they need , and you actually make that comment…..lol 😂 The number one thing everyone is waiting for and UA just spits in the face of its customers. Millions of these would have been sold overnight. Instead these videos will have a million disappointment comments and with other companies getting new interface customers. Just make every plugin native and free for current owners and get it over with. 😂 Unbelievable.

[@Rolotrealanis]

@@UniversalAudio This makes zero sense. So many years of Chip advancements and processing power. The only reason for no updates is probably to the engineering costs you have to put into updating your hardware significantly. There is no reason why these DSP Interfaces shouldn't have a ton more processing power capabilities and better offline bouncing speed when using them in a DAW.

[@Marko647]

Is the subwoofer management coming to the older interfaces also?

[@athonygraham8353]

Please people, don't be taken in with this, it's already out of date. @UniversalAudio do you just have a mountain of old SHARC chips you need to offload?

[@BrendanMakesMusic]

Onboard DSP is an obsolete concept, and that’s basically all they’re selling as a killer feature. I still see zero reason to get one of these over an RME

[@berdeauxlaveau6515]

omg cant wait to get one

[@notbrandonion]

I love it!

[@Seraph137]

Disappointed. I've been waiting to buy a new interface to see what the next gen UAD was going to be. *sigh*.... Like your plugins, but you missed a huge opportunity here. Same old SHARP chips? Seriously? A lot of people might forgive the A/D - D/A minor bump, but the lack of a modern DSP chip is a no go here. That was your one BIG advantage.

[@athonygraham8353]

@@UniversalAudio Do you want to clarify that you need the Sonarworks app to get the EQ profile to slot into Console? If you've got the Sonarworks app, why do you need console to host the eq profile? RME did this for free, in their software, not gouging out customers with a "new" hugely old fashioned interface using old, old technology and sub par chips from yesteryear and you're not really providing anything new here, snake oil sellers.

Pretty underwhelming update tbh

[@MitchMichelleOfficial]

Ok I seriously don’t understand any of this. You release “next gen” powered interfaces, whilst SIMULTANEOUSLY releasing some of your most wanted plugins IN NATIVE FORMAT THAT WONT WORK WITTH THOSE INTERFACES. Makes me feel like shit for investing so much into your eco system. And fan boys don’t waste your time telling me how the native plug ins work with their pro interfaces via low latency. If that’s you you’re totally missing the point. I’m seriously depressed right now. Thanks

They certainly aren't perfect and I've been annoyed with them over a few things myself. They are making good stuff though.
