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?

[@Talktomeindulcettone]

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

[@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!

[@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]

😍

[@SuperAbjc]

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

[@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]

[@olivegod]

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

Agreed he’s fab

[@houseofgraceworship]

sure is. straight to the point. no fluff

[@garnetbey7400]

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

[@gammadrums]

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

[@pascalmerschaudio]

Ambers voice is Killer , wowwww what an amazing Artist

[@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. 👍

[@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!

[@foxydproduction]

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

[@jommonox]

Perfectly explained, Fab is the man!

[@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!

[@mallorga1965]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@MrBeblis]

Fab is the man, very knowledgeable

[@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!

[@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 :-)

[@Salantsoundstudios]

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

[@websurfer2344]

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

[@dspoet1]

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

[@christophpetersart3803]

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

[@Piratebreadstick]

Nice, and also good to hear it through high-quality music-making.

[@ivano.c6760]

the microphone is: Lauten Audio Atlantis FC-387

[@BrushesofDoom]

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

[@vinimanara]

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

[@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.

[@djsvnstarr2473]

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

[@gonzalillo20]

I think she just want to record her song. Thanks Fab for making this video for us.

[@hollowmenrule]

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

[@chrisquattro1]

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

[@martinweinberger78]

Fantastic singer!!!!!

[@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

[@prodjincmusicproductions6587]

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

[@AkshatMehrotra07]

i use the knob...

[@joeydinero9300]

😂😂😂

[@BuddyQuaid]

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

[@UniversalAudio]

[@guitarvibe75]

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

[@hia2bx]

i mixed one of her tracks for a class assignment...and here she is in the flesh

[@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.

[@mycopro]

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

[@UniversalAudio]

You're welcome!! Enjoy your new x4!

[@FlamingBeatsOfficial]

So when does this song come out?

[@vicesquadpunk]

Ooh and it tunes, doubles and harmonises the vocal too.. in real time.... that is IMPRESSIVE 🤣 x

[@HellfireBeats]

Great singer!

[@hughharsher]

and a damn fine one too

[@gmichaelhall]

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

[@SpedSpedding]

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

[@lindonwatts1517]

I definitely love the Apollo twin

[@ViceVersaMusik1]

Beautiful song!!

[@EmpoweredMovements]

This Universal Audio Apollo interface looks awesome.

[@rios_5314]

Just ordered my Apollo MKII today🙏 this video will defently help me alot.

[@UniversalAudio]

👍Congrats!!

[@MasacousticsBarcelona]

great demo!

[@cupidomuzik6199]

This tutorial is amazing thanks for posting. I’ve been using the Scarlett and m-audio interfaces and would like to step up my game,this will be of great help when I purchase my Apollo twin

[@pandemic7]

Good vid guys. I'm picking up a mkii this week and needed a clear explanation of the basics. Thanks!

[@QLFProductions]

Excellent teaching, excellent video, excellent voice, excellence from UA. I just bought an Apollo Twin and I'm loving what I'm seeing so far. Coming from the Audient ID-14 the ID mixer is so easy to use. Console seems a bit more complicated but that's just because my Apollo Twin hasn't arrived yet. The only question I wish was answered is how do I separate the DAW or music track volume from the mic or artist volume. He shows the preamp knob and the monitor knob but I need full control of the artist headphone mix. I will be sending outputs 3/4 to a headphone amp. I'm thinking I have to set up some complicated routing but I bet it's not too bad. Just need to find a video that explains it.

[@lampkinmedia]

Wonderful video. Fab you are amazeing. Really Good presentation and explanation. I'm going to purchase this for my home production studio. The young lady has a fantastic voice. She is going places. I really like the vocal arrangement Love the plug in's. I remember using Pultec EQ's back in the day on vocals and of course the other plug in's are the best and most realistic sounding. Great presentation. Great vocals. Great Product. I will be a new customer for sure. Thank You !!

[@joeygaitanis]

Kudos UA, nice walk-through of the Apollo!

[@UniversalAudio]

Glad you enjoyed it Joey. 👍

[@magik8566]

Very nice voice and good synergy with the technician

[@UniversalAudio]

[@marcopereira6962]

You guys just earned my subscription without a doubt.

[@crisnla1]

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

No its recordet before. its actually all faked.

[@daneoduran2674]

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

[@pharaohonthetrack2008]

He’s a wonderful teacher. And her voice is so strong powerful, beautiful and sexy. I can’t wait until I find my first female artist. 💪🏽💯

[@djcvmusic1]

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

[@TheBissco]

Exactly what I needed after picking up a twin! Thanks for the very well done video!

[@AKIIMALLEN]

hes the best at explaining this machine now i am more confident in spending $899 on it 😂 the song is 🔥🔥🔥

[@farfymcdoogle3461]

Incredible vocals. Very nice interface. If I had an iMac I would go for it. But even if I did I don't know since Reason doesn't do vst's.

[@aidilmusical]

love This Product...Fab Youre Grat In making People Understand

[@jbkivontop]

Wonderful interface, beautiful song!

[@jgsmith2]

This is really helpful. Such an engaging way to present it as well.

[@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

[@musicsoundgear]

What a beautiful song!

[@therealliveguy]

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

[@classicalbanksy4908]

LOL... Er - guys - we're supposed to be paying attention to the Apollo!

[@maxreaper25]

[@colaboytje]

Fab is amazing. He is incredibly funny and great at explaining.

[@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.

[@nolo5150]

Ha! Amber is in S2E5 of The Blacklist 🤘🏼

[@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? :)

[@minoritydamagemusik]

I absolutely love Apollo twin this is the new audio revolution. I ve been recording with an lynx Hilo and a burl b2 bomber for years and a Dave hill Europa preamp. So I'm used to the good stuff. But I needed something portable and I'm so shocked of how good this is. If one can't get amazing results with this then dude music is not your thing lol. I love everything about universal audio! 👏
