Well, I’m a big UA fan and Apollo user, so as soon as I saw it, I was excited to share my thoughts. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. 😊

[@musichistory-pq2lo]

Yeah seriously, I really appreciate you making this video! I'm surprised UA hasn't made one themselves

[@ToddUrban]

@musichistory-pq2lo of course. Glad it helped.

[@robert_starling]

Thanks Todd, you always break things down into easy to understand and concise learning bits! Looking forward to our next session!

Thanks for watching Paul.

[@delsurmusic]

Thanks for the heads up!. I am downloading the new console while watching this!.

[@yikelu]

So they basically took LUNA UI and stuck it into Console. Looks nice. Thanks for covering!

[@alexmcgourty6763]

hi todd! just found your video from googling about the console updates... super cool to come across your vids like that!

[@SMEL]

Thanks just found out about this today, because I bought a new plugin... C'mon UAD

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

so glad they gave it an update! i just wish they included a matrix router for stuff. more mult options. i have an x4 and x8p. lots of i/o. it would be nice to be able to route stuff in a more flexible way that was easy to see at a glance.

[@therealaarongeorge]

Can you not do this by going to Settings > I/O Matrix and then creating your own labels and presets?

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

@@therealaarongeorge not the same as a routing matrix trust me. i'm like a UAD expert at this point (considering i've been able to trouble shoot my setup better than UAD themselves), yeah it only allows the number of mults are your cue sends. you can't have like one thing go to 5 things if you only have 4 stereo cue sends. so if i wanted a signal to go to adat 1/2 and also output 5-6 and 7-8. it would be difficult to do that outside of a DAW (which of course adds latency).

[@synthshed]

💯 with you on this. As a home studio producer this is my no 1 request. Seeing most other interface manufacturers offering proper matrix style routing is kind of annoying … feels like a matter of time before UAD catch up or I make the switch despite the thousands I’ve invested in their software and hardware

[@kaysha]

Great

[@ToddUrban]

Thanks. :)

[@johnroberts4000]

thanks for the video. Would be great if you have a video showing us how to connect 3 or more studio headphones to Apollo x4 using cue output. I can never figure out how to add more than 2 headphones

[@ToddUrban]

The easiest way is via a headphone splitter using the headphone amp on the front. But if you want independent mixes, you can have 2 cues go to the outputs on the front and another 2 go to the physical outputs on the back. But you will need a separate headphone amp to provide power from those back outputs.

[@staticisnoise]

great video, thanks for the tips!!!!

[@ToddUrban]

Yes sir! Thanks for checking it out.

[@JohnPapaGros]

Wish it included iPad support....

[@AndreSalata]

in resume, now it's a LUNA mixer :)

[@nyaudioengineer]

Hi Todd! I have (3) UA Apollo interfaces.. I wish they would have let us send channel outputs to any interface instead of limiting us to sending channel outputs to its own interface.

[@ToddUrban]

I don’t know the technical limitations but from a developer point of view, I know limitations can be more difficult to resolve than they appear. I’d love more than 4 cues, but don’t see it happening. I’d love to drag and drop inputs/outputs, but assume that is more difficult than I am able to understand.

[@NickSchiller]

I don't know if this was intergral in console before... but there is an option to solo safe tracks in console. Very handy for external FX. 😃

[@ToddUrban]

Not that I’m aware of. But yeah, that would be great not only for FX, but monitoring inputs, but keeping some perpetually on.

[@nexonsensei]

I did the update and my console app looks the same as before i don’t have the new UI

[@doetube9746]

Have you restarted your machine?

[@dacidthorn]

Same (on windows)

[@dacidthorn]

Ah I had to select ‘preview new console’ and then it downloaded thru connect

[@dacidthorn]

And it’s way uglier then before. I’m going back.

[@eddierobinson1037]

Does this work with Sonoma OS

[@pavelbartusek8875]

Where is the Buffer size? Thank you

[@tilllanglo5316]

I believe buffer size is there so the cpu can simultaneously record and calculate the existing plugins and material playback. So it exists only in a daw environment and is even disabled in luna when ARM recording is enabled. Thats the big advantage of Luna/Pro Tools and all plugins that are processed by an interface like Apogee or Antelope Audio. This way you can have a big session with a lot of plugins and still record at very low latency without having to freeze something.

[@thePunkRockMix]

Thanks for the video Todd! You said that the fader volumes will not have an impact on the daw-level. How is that with insertet plugins (not the unison ones)? For example, if I add a LA-2A to the insert slot and use the gain knob to to level the signal. Has that an impact on the level being recorded in the DAW? Thanks :) Bernd

[@ToddUrban]

The faders at the bottom do not have an impact on what is being recorded into the DAW. They are for monitoring. But if you adjust the gain on an LA2A and are recording that effect, yes, that plugin will alter what is being recorded. Give it a try. Pull the fader all the way down and you will still record at full strength into the DAW.

[@thePunkRockMix]

@@ToddUrban thanks for your reply! I will try that out :)

[@CassLoweMusic]

Looks cleaner but its insane that they just deleted LiveTrack DSP monitoring on the update

[@timmyblack8588]

well done

[@TheManInCommand]

Does It have a noise gate built-in yet?

[@bestevaer1977]

Nice overview, too bad it seems to be just an GUI redesign without any added functionality. Having inserts on the monitor/main bus would be great to insert EQ for room correction. A Sonarworks plugin for UAD would be even better.

[@ToddUrban]

Agreed that functionally, not much changed. However, I do find the ability to collapse sections and the new UI are much more appealing. I just ran a session with it today and things did feel a bit faster. Also the plug-in/preset loader is a nice welcomed adjustment.

[@SamWilliamsonMusic]

i upgraded and my buffer size window has been removed

[@dannyblau3850]

Same. Literally have to go the icon menu, click over to legacy to be able to access buffer. Very strange omission/oversight.

[@reaganbrowneofficialyoutube]

Great video! Question for you? I’m running outboard gear into the U.A console like a Neve 1073, API Channel Strip, Pultec E.Q and Tubecore Stereo bus compressor. How do you adjust the levels, or gain of those units within the Console? For some reason I can’t stop the Tube Compressor from distorting unless I set the gain really low on the unit. Thanks

[@ToddUrban]

First off, you can set the inputs to -10 or +4. That should help with the proper input level. But you should be distorting coming into the Apollo. I run some extremely hot equipment at full output and still don’t clip the inputs.

[@reaganbrowneofficialyoutube]

⁠​⁠@@ToddUrbanyes I’m running everything at +4. I tried the -10 setting on the Tube Compressor channel and it just made everything even louder and more distorted. Everytime I sing into the microphone I see that it’s hitting the red zone and it doesn’t matter how far down I turn the levels on my Apollo twin or Apollo x16 Heritage. The levels within the console and the outboard gear just seem to be off and for the life of me I can’t figure out how to adjust them. :/

[@ToddUrban]

The only thing I can think is that each of those analog devices should have an output level. I’m assuming they are running too hot and clipping the Apollo.

[@reaganbrowneofficialyoutube]

@@ToddUrbanok thanks. It’s weird I’m setting the 1073 output very low, along with the tube Compressor gain, output low as well and it distorts. Another weird thing is I can hear it distorting in my headphones but when I play it back I don’t really hear any issues. Idk 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@ToddUrban]

Hmm. Unfortunately this is one of these scenarios where it is difficult to tell without being there and trying the equipment (or at least troubleshooting each part of the signal chain individually)

[@FatFingerFreddy]

Hey, you mentioned it a couple times, so which headphone monitoring system do you use? I have musicians asking for separate mixes, simultaneously. (I have 2 8xp's, btw) thanks.

[@ToddUrban]

I personally like the Hearback OCTO. I’ve had a few over the years, but they make a solid product and have great service.

[@anthonyanzalone]

This new UI is terrible. fonts are too small and visual elements are just not sharp. You can even see it in your video. It almost reminds me of a java program... I hope they bring back the old UI

[@fendtsfinest]

Absolutely agree! I downgraded back to version 11.3

[@oplati]

​@@fendtsfinest How do you do that?

[@Jonaros]

Why isn't there a resize button like they did lately in the plugins? Console is quite tiny on my screen. Not to mention the resolution seems worse than the previous design

[@BolerosWithAttitude]

What monitoring and talk back hardware do you use?

[@ToddUrban]

RND 5060. I have a separate video on that. It is amazing, but it is also $10k. The Apollo twin was my go to for a long time as talkback and monitoring. 😃

Hmm. I’m not sure. I would need to see it. Maybe someone else has an idea here?

[@MooreMusic-kx3hh]

Hey thanks for the info. Since updating.. the console app when used in my daw causes it to save slower than before.. i get the color spinning wheel for about one second… just enough to slow down the workflow noticeably. Any solutions?

[@ToddUrban]

Hmm. No clue. I would contact UA support and see what they say.

[@Theflipstoner]

So I have a Townsend labs microphone and the vocals are stereo in the daw after recording well that stereo vocal still work with all the plug-ins does the plug-ins need to be stereo or mono?

[@TheRyanKellner]

I asked UAD Support to enable the possibility to eliminate the 32-samples of latency that the aux sends have. They told me that they would take it into consideration. Do you know if they uodated this?

[@ToddUrban]

Not sure. I was never concerned about the aux, as I have time based processing on their such as reverbs and delays, so latency wasn’t really an issue.

[@TheRyanKellner]

@@ToddUrbanI was curious because I figured a work-around for print certain FX, but not others is putting the ones I dont want to print on the aux, then muting the track (with the fx I do want to print), and essentially monitoring just through the aux (fader set at 0db). I just wish there was a way to only print some UAD FX on the way in 😅

[@ToddUrban]

@TheRyanKellner understood. I just use the Aux for sending some reverb to the headphones of the artist, so it never bothered me. But it depends on the use case for sure.

[@RussellFeatherstone]

how to save a custom channel?

[@ToddUrban]

Just click the plus sign next to the inserts and the panel on the left will open. You can hit save there.

hi!! I just bought a Volt 4 Interface 476 but the ud console does not detect it, does it have its own software? or does it lack software and you only have to install the drivers for it to work? thank you!!!

[@ToddUrban]

I don’t have a Volt, so I’m not positive, but since it isn’t running plugins, I would assume it has different software. Check UA’s channel. They must have a getting started video.

[@MarkDivola]

I updated yesterday on Windows and Console looks nothing like this but like the old version 😢

[@Deandre-r3j]

Mine too

[@joost3783]

Thanks for the video! I don't get why anyone would ever use luna though. Its way too tied to their hardware (which is extremely outdated in terms of dap by now), also I feel like UA has been declining for a while now so there would have to be a lot of trust in them to actually start committing to luna (and that doesn't even include possible criticism on the DAW as such)

[@ToddUrban]

LUNA isn’t my primary DAW. But if you are a Pro Tools user, it will be very familiar and has a nice visual interface. I guess it depends on your needs. And it keeps getting better with each new release.

Hello everyone, I'm currently having the problem that I can't get a signal in the inputs in Ableton. Although I can hear everything through headphones, I can't record audio, for example from KZbin or something like that, I would be happy to help.

[@ToddUrban]

A few things. First off, in Ableton Live, you need to setup your inputs, which is a bit of a pain, but once it is done, you are set. I think UA has a video on this. As for getting KZbin as an input in Console so you can record it into Live, you will need to set your CPU audio as a virtual input and then make that input the input to an audio track in Live.

[@anualphonse]

Todd, is this for UAD console version 11.2.0 04-02-2024? I downloaded the latest update for Mac but the GUI looks like the previous version (ex: still have silver knobs above the faders). Does this have to be in tandem with LUNA opened?

[@ToddUrban]

Yes, it is the latest release, but I now have 2 versions of Console available to open. By clicking the UA logo in my top menu bar of my desktop, I can select to revert to the Legacy too.

[@anualphonse]

@@ToddUrban Brilliant! Nice hidden feature. Thanks for making this video - I watched it three times already. It was well needed to make the orientation to 11.2 easier.

[@gitarman666]

new update with sessions just today July 21, 2024?

[@oplati]

Why can't I add delay or reverb directly to the insert?

[@ToddUrban]

You can. But using an Aux allows for different routing possibilities when using cues and also saves on DSP if you have many instances.

[@burkefied]

If I have scenes set up in the old version, will I be able to use my saved console settings?

[@ToddUrban]

For me, they did carry over.

[@gabrielfunes]

Great video! The presets from the old console are compatible with the new one? Thanks!

[@ToddUrban]

I was able to carry over my saved sessions. I don’t save presets of chains, but would assume those carry over too.

[@Robfnord]

@@ToddUrban I ONLY used presets of chains, and now I can't see how TF to load the bloody things, incredibly annoying, literally the main functionality i use in console and now it is seemingly missing, combined with the fact that I now have to right click to disable and reenable plugins that used to be a single click on the icon on the thumbnail, i can safely say I HATE this new console, it fking sucks!

[@Robfnord]

Ok eventually I figured it out you can right click on the very bottom of the strip and there is an option to do with channel presets then you can browse them, a huge relief, I will just save sessions and swap between them rather than using the disable enable so much

[@feldsparsongs2331]

Issues here with opening console using Cubase - sometimes it will not open at all and needs a full restart. The UA connect app is slow to open and always scans for plugins. The old version didn’t have these issues. The UI has some tiny controls which doesn’t help.

@@ToddUrban I have the Output checked (circle) no outputs...I've got everything expanded..should there be 2 separate sets of faders fully visible for all channels? I/O...Thanks

[@ToddUrban]

You’ll have a fader at the bottom, which routes that input to the control room out. In terms of input, I’ve never had a 2nd fader. It was always the rotary knob at the top if you have Apollo preamps, and nothing if you have an x16 or are using line or digital inputs.

[@MatthiasMontgomery]

@@ToddUrban in my previous version I had 2 complete sets of faders for ins/outs....my question is how do I control the volume of each channel to my headphone mix individually? All the faders are currently down & Im still getting level from somewhere? thx

[@ToddUrban]

@MatthiasMontgomery that’s done through your cue mixes. Make sure your cues are showing and you have the ability to adjust sends to each cue. I think I show that in the video. But you can also click cue outputs on the right side to make sure all your routing is correct to each headphone. I’m assuming something is assigned to the incorrect spot or maybe you have your headphones receiving the main mix. It’s though to tell without seeing your screen, but the functionality is all there

I wonder if this has all the demo placeholders if you don’t own certain plugins 🙄

[@DanBires]

I won't be updating. Thanks for the coverage...

[@thebeatmajors_yt]

Oh nooo what will UAD do nowwww

[@fendtsfinest]

I downgraded back to version 11.3. Now everythings fine again. 🥳

[@GuitarTab666]

So does it allow basic things like reordering of channels and relabelling of cues now? Maybe we can even scroll the mixer without crazy lag if we're super lucky.

[@ToddUrban]

I haven’t noticed a lag. As for reordering, we can do that in the I/O matrix. But I don’t think we can relabel cues.

[@GuitarTab666]

@@ToddUrban For example: Say I have a snare top mic on a unison pre and a bottom on a line in. I can't put those next to each other in the mixer without redoing the io matrix after which I have to redo the io in pro tools (or any other daw). This is shocking workflow. Baffling but I guess we cant expect too much from the company that can't even be bothered to list their plugins in alphabetical order (or any other order) in the plugin authorization window so that it's nearly impossible possible to see what plugins are available in the room you're working in. And don't get me started on the cues haha...

[@ToddUrban]

@GuitarTab666 understood. I use a patchbay with my X16 and therefore can adjust inputs there. For the X8p, the preamps are all the same, so the order doesn’t matter. But I see your point.

Hey Todd I cant find Softube Console 1 to insert in UA Console... ?

[@ToddUrban]

Hi! UA’s Console will only work with UAD-2 plugins and not allow you to insert Console 1. Console 1 will need to be inserted via your DAW when mixing.

[@aceedmond8053]

@@ToddUrban Thanks Todd! yes I got it figured out!

[@aceedmond8053]

@@ToddUrban Console Central is functioning!

[@B1GDANGER]

Would have been nice if you actually went over outputs!

[@ToddUrban]

Most people assign their outputs directly from the DAW. I do have some other content that shows this in regards to summing and outboard gear. But the idea here was mostly to showcase the basics for people who might be confused by the new UI.

[@wouttemmerman]

thanks for the video!! I hope UAD tacks the old 2 Console back. Because it is not good for the workflow now end you have no good overview!

[@plutoniclabchannel]

It's worse. I appreciate the new plugin menu, but they have stolen from us the compact aux/cue view below the inserts, and now there's so much scrolling and hiding/showing involved. it's really messed with the way I use console as I liked to see the aux/cue sends (with signal feedback) in one sleek view. there is no option for that now.

[@plutoniclabchannel]

Also I was hoping we would get the UA x style plugin menu. but why make it trapped to the left hand side and not float like the UAx plugins in your daw? also when the new left browser menu open it shifts the entire mixer to the right, sometimes hiding the channel you wish to edit

[@xenprovence6126]

Motherfuckers made no mention that I would have to boot kernel level on my Mac Studio and redo permissions for this install. My love-hate with universal audio continues…

So is basically the exact same as before? And I assume you still cant have more than 4 cue mixes, even though they promote Apollo as a platform for bigger studio sessions? You still cant select multiple faders at once, to change the volume of let's say a whole drumset in the headphone mix? You still cant copy one Cue Mix to another? And you still cant connect a fader controller, which would make Apollo a nice live mixing console? What a bullshit. Zero advancement in over 10 years. Thats really sad.

[@ToddUrban]

Basically all you stated is true. With cues, I use 8 mono by making use of the pan knob, but essentially it is 4 stereo ones. Regarding Fader controller, Console 1 Fader does control the program. But otherwise, this is mostly a cosmetic update.

[@tkelong3569]

Finally, an attractive GUI. That old version is buTT ugly. Functionality is always great. Never had a single problem at any time in the 2 years I've used it. Definitely hope that stays the same.

[@briangale3118]

Man what happened. This app was so easy to navigate and now it’s …. More clicking….

Console tutorial. Here's Luna..

[@gottafunkyfize]

Oh dear... they have adopted Luna's bad UX... Love the cue's panning option though

[@ToddUrban]

The cue panning is a lifesaver since I frequently need 8 cues for larger sessions.

[@plutoniclabchannel]

@@ToddUrban you could always pan cues. no upgrade there

[@anomandrus]

I consider this a downgrade.

[@pictlander]

Very disappointing "update". Looks like they just gave us an ugly skin rather than an update/improvement to functionality and workflow. Just another company that doesn't listen to their customers!

[@dougleydorite]
