How to Setup and Record with Apollo Interfaces and Console Software ft. Fab Dupont

[@abbdrums]

Nice, probably the best demonstration I've seen so far of the Apollo workflow in action. UA has really changed the game with these Apollo's... can't wait to get the 16 one day for drum tracking

[@FuriousStylezOfficial]

Agreed 100%

[@GabrielXDrums]

Same. Search Ebay for a new one, best bet.

[@ErraticFaith]

Hahaha. No. Buy RME not this redundant trash.

[@lifestyle6993]

What if producer giving out free beats on KZbin or Dropbox and the rappers take it for free on Dropbox, KZbin and can rappers still get sued or taking their music down for doing that?

[@canalmeu8865]

what's her name?

[@olivegod]

This Fab guy is VERRYY good at explaining things .. need more videos with him, they’re so informative and interesting!!!

[@Selkii]

Agreed he’s fab

[@houseofgraceworship]

sure is. straight to the point. no fluff

[@SetMeFree]

the learning curve for audio engineering is your entire life.

[@UniversalAudio]

Amen.

[@vdonnn]

If all tutorial videos were like this, I’d never leave KZbin lol. Simple, easy, informative, and very explanative. Not 10 minutes on each thing in a 40min video lol

[@UniversalAudio]

👍

[@chasethompson5487]

Make more videos about the Apollo Console 2.0 with Fab Dupont. I really liked his no nonsense explanations on how to use this basic mic setup and how the twin works. Excellent!

[@Light-zu1ys]

Lifesaver!! Easiest workflow on recording/monitoring with UAD console I've seen so far, Grammy winning engineers really are on another level..

[@UniversalAudio]

👍🏻

[@Talktomeindulcettone]

Please have Fab Dupont do more videos. His pacing, style, and clarity is superb.

[@michaelprenez-isbell8672]

I love his total literacy in all the effects, where they originated, the interfaces. He's a master of the form.

[@lancemccollum4697]

Great video! Hey UA, why don't you hire this guy and do an entire series. I learned a lot in less than 15 minutes!

[@SarahFimm]

I second that!

[@RowdyYates12]

I saw this video when I first got my Apollo Twin, over a year ago. Re-watching it a few months later I can clearly see how helpful it is, but not only that how freaking great this Interface is. I would easily say its top 3 for any home studio or developing producers at any skill level. If you can afford it or find one cheap on the market, I would 100% recommend it!!!! Won't be disappointed!

[@UniversalAudio]

😍

[@ianhamilton4816]

Thanks UA - as I'm new to UA interfaces and have never had an interface of this calibre before, these videos with Fab Dupont are, by far, the most helpful and instructive on how to set up and use my new Apollo X4 than any other KZbin videos I've seen yet, because not only does it help give a sense of the workflow, it explains the functionalities (eg in Console) in much clearer, direct and understandable terms. Love my new Apollo, and can't wait to dive into it more! Please consider making more deep dive Apollo videos with Fab Dupont!

[@UniversalAudio]

👍🏻

[@foxydproduction]

The most effective tutorial I’ve ever watched on KZbin. He explained very well

[@JazzieTaboo]

Fab is giving the best breakdown for beginners. Highly recommended 💯

[@gammadrums]

I have learn more watching this videos that from reading the manual. Fab Dupont is THE man...!!!

[@KevinORourke25]

So everybody else, before you do a demo video watch this one. Superb explanation. Concise, efficient and UNDERSTANDABLE!

[@SuperAbjc]

DuPont at his best on this AWESOME tutorial making things simple …clear .. fast (top notch for real)

[@roycalvo3713]

This tutorial is the best video that I have ever seen in my entire life. It literally read the questions inside my head! thank you so much for the quality content.

[@DaltonPritt]

I'm not gonna lie this was the best testing of this interface I have seen on youtube. All the others never hit the points as clearly as you do. Thank you

[@UniversalAudio]

👍

[@garnetbey7400]

i can't believe how beautiful this artist voice is, I'm blown away, this track is AMAZING TO ME.

[@cyrusnanavati]

Hi Fab - I have just purchased the Apollo solo and I found this video the most informative video so far. Thank you for your very practical explanations and demonstrations of the Apollo's key features - brilliant work indeed

[@trentghill]

This is a wonderful instructional video. While the Console software as well as its documentation is complex and deep, this video covers almost everything you need to know to use your UAD Twin or Solo for home recording, unless you have to create multiple monitor mixes or cue sends. There are just a few things I'd add or emphasize: 1. Not all DAWs have "low latency monitoring"; Logic's low latency mode will deactivate some plugins, so don't set that. If you use Logic, you'll also want to disable software monitoring. 2. The UAD Mon / Rec buttons in the monitor strip on the right of the Console window work globally and override whatever setting you choose in the channel strips. 3. Fab covers this in the video, but to emphasize: Effects placed in the channel insert will "print" (record) unless you select "Mon" in either the channel strip or the global monitor strip. Effects placed in the Aux channels *do not print* unless you set up Console and your DAW to record those channels. There are instructions on how to do that in the documentation and on the web, but if you want to incorporate a comfort reverb when tracking, just put it in one of the inserts on an aux channel, point one of your sends to that channel, and blend to taste. You'll hear the reverb when tracking but it won't print to the recorded track in your DAW. 4. The one thing the video leaves out is that there are four views accessible via the buttons located below the "Menu" button in the upper left of the Console display. While the Overview gives essential info about what's going on with the channel, each of the more specific views contains some important info missing from the overview display that you'll need to pay attention to when setting up you input chain. For instance, to record a track with insert effects on, you'll need to click on the "Inserts" view and make sure that "Rec" is selected in the channel strip and "UAD Rec" is on in the monitoring strip. Recording with the Apollo Twin is really as easy as the video suggests.

[@BillBene67]

Great advice Trent!

[@billyvalentine4365]

Still helpful in 2022!

[@amdenis]

Great into overview. and a very, very nice "ad-hoc" mix session. I had not listened to Amber Skye before, but was actually tearful listening to her powerful, spiritually-rich vocals. I am an instant fan to be sure, and normally I am much more of a classic rock follower; but there is nothing like true heart as part of a beautifully mixed production. Hope I can hear Amber live someday. I got an Apollo Duo-Twin earlier this year and really enjoy what I can do with it. Now, just another 10 years of using it and I will be half as good as Fab. Thanks Guys!

[@jommonox]

Perfectly explained, Fab is the man!

[@sorenjelik]

I am UAD Apollo guy, and I really love everything about it...I have my account, my orders and probably I am going to stay on UAD as long as I breath..and I like the way how Fab explains and do things...

[@p.m-audio]

Ambers voice is Killer , wowwww what an amazing Artist

[@nathanbankheadmusic]

Wow! Dude Should be a professor! This is so helpful, just got a Twin, I will never record another album without a UAD interface! Never! The UAD mic pres are the best in the world period!

[@dspoet1]

Great video. This is my main reference video for using my twin.

[@leah777]

I've had the Apollo Twin since 2017. I just learnt through this video that the power supply can be locked. And there I was thinking I had a glitch in my cable!! Thanks FAB!

[@Spodie1000]

Should've RTFM'd :-)

[@skaylars]

Very well explained basics of the console, thanks for that! Shout out to the artist, she was amazing!

[@BigAmp2012]

Amazing Video on an Amazing product. Fab is my favorite UAD representative and the Amber Red girl can really SANG!! This video is still very relative 8 years later.

[@TheAaron3dg]

Very clear and concise instruction, Fab has an excellent way of giving the info!

[@tdz69]

Antonio Banderas crushing it for Apollo! Great video and insanely helpful. Ty

[@Salantsoundstudios]

Awesome! Great vocals Amber! Fab, as always, you da man!

[@joeymontanda8997]

The ending really put everything together nicely.

[@UniversalAudio]

Indeed it did!

[@itmsjim]

Excellent demo! Thank you, there's nothing else like this on KZbin, or at least nothing as well described. And Amber is great...and cute!

[@websurfer2344]

Very happy with the time and effort made for this tutorial. Good Stuff!

[@farvezafridifaizurrahman6980]

I'd be damned if the recording at the end is actually a live signal. It is so clean and impressive for a mic that is set in the open.

[@lettygunida245]

Farvez Afridi I’m pretty sure it’s prerecorded.

[@dirface]

They are demoing a workflow, not a mic.

[@demetriouswhite7997]

My thoughts exactly

[@auxorion]

Depending on the singer, you can totally pull it off. The main vocal was recorded there live. The backing vocals were already there of course. I mean, at the end he added a bunch of stuff.. limiter, eq, etc as well as the reverb. it's live & already mixed technically.. that's the beauty of UAD.

[@markcarreon2442]

Even if you don't have this interface. You can propably learn how to setup any interface, and learn how to record with plugins. This video is great!!!!!

[@UniversalAudio]

Thanks Mark!

[@mallorga1965]

The UA pre suits her velvet voice perfectly. What a difference when compared with the first pre.

[@martymcyourflysdown6872]

Wow this stuff always gives me a headache and it still does but this video is definitely the best walkthrough I’ve seen on the Apollo interface. 👍

[@joninehritamusic]

Thanks for this very straightforward intro to the Apollo. I'm a newbie and find your videos helpful!

[@UniversalAudio]

So glad to hear it Joni!

[@ColeAnderle]

love the flow of this breakdown. so easy to follow. more of Fab please!

[@MrBeblis]

Fab is the man, very knowledgeable

[@precisionsoundworksstudio]

Love this video. Fab is always on point, and Amber's voice is fantastic. Similar timbre to Sarah McLachlan, one of my fav singers.

[@growingpainsplayground]

Great Demo/Tutorial, not too fast or too slow and easy to follow.

[@UniversalAudio]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

[@markntexas8265]

I am just messing around looking at all these cool creative tools we have to make music (boring business guy in real life) don't understand match of it either. This guy is doing the absolute best job of showing how to do "this" I have ever seen.

[@djsvnstarr2473]

Very Professional Thank you guy for showing this piece of hardware....

[@BrushesofDoom]

this is beyond the best review format for a product. thanks! and great vid

[@acebass123]

I'm a new fan of Amber

[@arthurarda]

+Anthony Crawford ; Me too, She's a fantastic singer.

[@sillysox13]

+Anthony Crawford damn man. she KILLED that! a true vocal pro indeed.

[@TheSoundConnoisseur]

Anthony Crawford legit

[@jsamc]

pretty face pretty voice

[@chrisquattro1]

Thanks for the demo, very informative overlook and nice recording from Amber Skye at the end.

[@raffaerste]

1:41 seeing this headphone cable hurts me

[@AnthonyMartinsRock]

Imagine how the cable felt. >

[@CorinaK]

.... and off I go to fix mine lol.

[@RonnieVaiArovo]

LOL Seeing your comment made me LaughOutLoud

[@BuddyQuaid]

This is the best video. Please make more of these types of videos. This guy is a badass.

[@UniversalAudio]

👍🏻

[@canalaudiospot]

2020 still using and learning about my dope interface!

[@Calciumchlorid]

Vini Manara what specific model do you recommend? the X, the quad or is the duo enough?

[@jdsforza9313]

Calciumchlorid depends on how many UAD plugins and which UAD plugins you wanna use in your daw

[@hollowmenrule]

best review/demo of this I have seen so far. very well explained.

[@ivano.c6760]

the microphone is: Lauten Audio Atlantis FC-387

[@Jj21322]

Man U are the first person that explain everything love this video

[@FlamingBeatsOfficial]

So when does this song come out?

[@campbelladz86]

Iv been up alll night Thinkin about Bout makin Music, this is the BEST thing iv watched all day 👍🏼 FairPlay Bro VERY HELPFULL PLUS U EXPLAIN THINGS GOOD ✅

[@guitarvibe75]

"Can I get more reverb?" *5 Minute Lecture Follows*

[@Warmwinterz]

dope video very informative in all the areas where I was shaky! you sold me on this unit. Great tutorial on how to use the software much-appreciated brother

[@AksFlute]

i use the knob...

[@joeydinero9300]

😂😂😂

[@classicalbanksy4908]

Am sold! Love the look, love the workflow - it's just what I need...

[@xXxAmadeuzxXx]

lol background vocals magically appeared!

[@greenguitars72]

+AMADEUZ Connected apparently they were already recorded with the backing track...

[@CMinor5555]

You seems you don't understand the video. Background vocals don't appeared magically, If you noticed this is an Universal Audio Tutorial for us. They just recorded it as a presentation of the Twin Hardware and Software, and also they took the advantage to Introduced her and her music. They'r smart to kill two birds with one shot.

[@userroscoe]

Samething I said. She made this song on a different day lol

[@gobrad]

AMADEUZ Connected its a backing track! Dummy!

[@ronnieaux5290]

Those are backing vocals.. lol. It's not magic. The one she's singing is the main lead vocal.

[@mindseye2007]

Thank you to all those involved in making and posting this beneficial lesson on setup and recording.

[@gotmilkduds6683]

If We could all sing like Amber no one would have a day job.... Nice equipment for recording too!

[@maxreaper25]

Actually we all would bc it wouldn’t be special anymore

[@gmichaelhall]

bad ass Fab..another excellent Dupont tutorial and overview.

[@HellfireBeats]

Great singer!

[@hughharsher]

and a damn fine one too

[@JazzieTaboo]

THIS VIDEO JUST SAVED MY LIFE THANK YOU

[@UniversalAudio]

👍

[@Amaro2021]

i watched this video about 72 times lol

[@SpedSpedding]

Sounds incredible. Love the way your stuff works It's untouchable.

[@lindonwatts1517]

I definitely love the Apollo twin

[@papahuge]

She's really good!

[@garyclement5527]

Love your teaching style. Makes all this so easy.

[@MasacousticsBarcelona]

great demo!

[@hannahbackward]

This is the YouTUbe video you are looking for to how to use your interface. The other videos available are confusing and boring. This one is good.

[@ViceVersaMusik1]

Beautiful song!!

[@nevertrender1579]

I rarely comment, but this vid was awesome. Please continue making more. Great production .. sound and video!

[@UniversalAudio]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@nevertrender1579]

Need more vids with this guy. He makes things simple and has the patience of an elephant. @@UniversalAudio

[@UniversalAudio]

@@nevertrender1579 We LOVE Fab!! But he's a busy guy! You never know what the future will bring though. :)

[@marcopereira6962]

why my output monitor dont show in my apollo twin console mixer?

[@EmpoweredMovements]

This Universal Audio Apollo interface looks awesome.

[@lior9995]

Great Singing// where i can find that song?!?!

[@Cacavn]

I admire him sound engineer, good handsome

[@mycopro]

Just got the Apollo 4X..... this video very helpful for a first time user. Thanks!

[@UniversalAudio]

You're welcome!! Enjoy your new x4!

[@thomasfokas]

I’m in love with Amber... just saying.

[@akaTayson]

Very nice singing of the Girl. Sounds very clearly 🔥

[@crisnla1]

damn she made this magic without a POP FILTER?! 😂😩

[@ingridsenkel]

No its recordet before. its actually all faked.

[@GlitchComputer]

I love how practical this tutorial was. Love my twin guys! :)

[@djcvmusic1]

if you have a version of this for windows I would have already bought it :(

[@joeygaitanis]

Kudos UA, nice walk-through of the Apollo!

[@UniversalAudio]

Glad you enjoyed it Joey. 👍

[@JTNice804]

no pop filter though

[@afinomusic]

not all mics need a pop filter

[@Zolanis1]

AFINO not all mic *placements need a pop filter. All large diaphragm condensers, unless they have one built in, need a pop filter if the vocalist is a few inches back and singing directly into the mike. Slightly off-axis placements, or moving the person further back, can negate the need for a pop filter. Just as a PSA, pop filters aren't some magic plosive-stopping thing. Literally all they do is prevent excess, ugly-sounding air from getting to the mic capsule. If that air isn't gonna get there anyway, you don't need a pop filter

[@christophpetersart3803]

That atlantis is pure magic. I wish I had one in my arsenal

[@DRMusicRecordings]

No way the audio sounds that way raw.. the Audio is totally mastered....??? Hmmm

[@ronnieperez7650]

+D&R Music Recordings Final audio for the video is likely mastered. But that's because it's KZbin. It would be amateur not to always master your published video, especially when you're Universal Audio.

[@xXxAmadeuzxXx]

that's what im saying. lol. They're trying to trick the beginner's into buying there shit.

[@ronnieperez7650]

AMADEUZ Connected The mic is pretty legit though. Great sound. I've heard a few demos of it here and there and was generally impressed by it's tonal range.

[@naturecollision]

+Ronnie Perez what mic is it? didn't recognize

[@ronnieperez7650]

naturecollision Lauten Audio Atlantis. Awesome mic. The more I hear it in action, the more I like it. :) Plus @ 1,500 or so, not bad at all.

[@daneoduran2674]

Most helpful. Really pleased I found you and great job Amber :)

[@henrikpetersson2899]

With the new console those old plugin guis look even more embarrassing than ever before. Each time I see RealVerb I just want to rip my eyes out. I get that they want people to upgrade to the new plugins but still, I don't get how they can ship those things in 2015.

[@ronnieperez7650]

+Henrik Petersson (Fruitful Life) The reverb actually sounds fine. Most reverbs do. But yeah, I have bad associations with trying to make that RealVerb work for me.. lol

[@chriscaro546]

What about 2019? :)

[@yuusource831]

You guys just earned my subscription without a doubt.

[@therealliveguy]

does the ring mean she's kinda married, but not really?

👍

[@grzegorzporowinski]

What a beautifull woman! :O

[@TechWeLove]

Thanks for the Demo, and her voice with the additions is very nice. Now if only I could figure out how to get my Apollo Interface to show up as an Audio Input for OBS Studio. ❤️

[@vudao5204]

that girl is so HOT

[@joeydinero9300]

Fuck yeah she is!!

[@prodjincmusicproductions6587]

seen this so many times but just paid attention to the vocalist and her lyrics...omg!!!
