[@randomgamer6850]

You don't need a 1k dollar interface to record good music average ear would never hear a difference between 1k dollar interface and 20 dollar interface once the vocals are added to beat&mixed so don't worry

Excellent Video! The visuals, the lighting, the introduction, the examples, just wonderfully done! You have a high standard and execute that excellently, thank you for this wonderful video! Probably the best video about the Apollo Twin X I've seen so far and probably one of the last I'll watch before buying it :)

Bro don't worry when you start with interfaces like focusrite you get the learning curve !!! Once you are good at what you are and have got the maximum out of it. When you have made some money gradually upgrade to these ones!!!!! That's the way to go !!!

[@riloh58]

Can I ask (and apologies if this has already been answered), is it possible to run DI and get output through monitors without also running through a DAW using a UA interface? I have a DAW so it's not so much of a problem as a question of convenience and flexibility. Sometimes, I don't want or need to fire up my DAW but would like to run via my interface and output to my monitors. My current interface doesn't allow that. And thank you for the review/comparison.

[@holywaterandgreentea]

Excellent Review Thanks

[@Loagz_Beatz]

I love the fact you use ableton and the same gear as I do it helps see different perspectives ! I love the twin has been a very good choice 👍🏼

[@coyoteserranoband]

Hey quick question does those preamps generate floor noise? Like quiet hiss when plugged in? Noticed that teletronic.

[@skeller61]

I'm just getting my studio set up. I had an aborted attempt in 2015, which left me starting with some decent stuff (a Push 1, a Bass Station 2), along with some gear that a few more KZbin videos may have helped with. My interface (using Windows) was the Scarlett 2i4, but it sounds a little long in the tooth. Luckily for me, at 60, I have enough cash to spring for some things I want (vs need). I just got in the Apollo Twin, and haven't even gotten everything hooked up yet. I'm so psyched to get started. Thanks for putting out your positive vibes through your informative videos. A couple of things I don't see any KZbin reviewers do is understand that many of the products they are stoking demand for are simply not available. Two cases in point: 1. I had to pre-order a Komplete Kontrol S88 (on 3/12/2021) and Sweetwater didn't expect to have any until April (we'll see). Apparently, the international parts supply chain has been super stressed by the pandemic. 2. I thought the Roli gear looks like it would add a lot to some of the things I'm interested in trying. I thought I'd get a Blocks setup, but NOBODY has any type of Roli keyboard. This reality makes seeing all the marketing as almost counter productive, building up products that are simply not available. Anyway, sorry for the digression, but I think it's worthwhile to mention. Keep up the great work!

[@davedovesmusic]

Looks incredible and a fantastic video. I always like the way you present and you give just enough information in a very clear way. I am definitely thinking about investing in the Apollo Twin X Heritage Edition for my production and my studies and I love the way you can satellite the UAD to create new inputs. Think this will add a new dimension to my sound with the preamps with no latency. The problem I have is my Mac only has thunderbolt 2 but I know you can get an adapter from Apple that will convert to Thunderbolt 3.

[@SanjayC]

I actually use those adapters and they work just fine. I have the older Apollo 8 which has the old thunderbolt connector so I have to use an adapter for that one too

[@667jw]

Thx for the info .. !!! I just got my Apollo Twin X quad..and I’m super excited!!! P.s. nice production on your vids 🤙

Sweet! Glad you got the Quad...you'll like the extra processing power

Hi hope u doing good, I just have a question as I have a twin duo and idk if its from the interface, from the way I cable manage, daw or mic ( lewitt lct 550) I am getting a huge noise flor, love to get ur thoughts and how to fix those

[@joelquispeyanez9165]

Hello. Very helpful video. Do you have the chance to try the new Antelope Zen Go. How do you think compare to these two? What are your thoughts? . I heard Apollo runs better on mac.

[@PNWGuitar]

Sanjay how do you feel about using the twin with a windows setup? I love the interface but alot of people complain about them on windows and I'm weary of spending that much I'd it's not going to work. Perhaps the new volt would be better? I make rock music in my bedroom studio

[@daveerios]

Thanks Sanjay! Thanks you for not assuming we know stuff. UAD should have you produce all their tutorials because you cover questions we didn't even know to ask!

[@real6face]

I recently purchased an Apollo Solo interface, and I've encountered an issue where the Output selection text, which typically appears in white when pressing the "monitor button," has disappeared. I've tried resetting the interface and reinstalling the digital audio workstation (DAW), but the text still won't appear. Can anyone offer assistance in resolving this matter?

[@draggabeats]

Wow, I was just randomly curious about this side-by-side comparison. Searched it and you had my answer. Still writing while you’re doing your intro on the video. Looking forward to it.

Excellent video Sanjay, should I upgrade to an Apollo Twin X if I already have an Apollo Solo? I mean sound quality converters and preamps

[@beat8974]

Is it anyone here who knows if it possible to use external audio effects with the Apollo solo in Ableton? Many thanks

So I'm contemplating I'm buying Apollo solo mainly for DJ recording. Very little vocals and some percussion recording. Can't seem to find anything on DJing and recording with Apollo solo. What do you recommend it for DJ use only?

[@ACKeys]

can you record in STEREO using the Solo??? If not what's the point in the two inputs? Hoping I can use the solo to record stereo piano direct out from the Nord or through two mics

[@johndennehy3400]

I am setting up for a podcast. I want to use an octave MK 012 mic through an Avalon VT 737 pre-amp (hardware) into my Macbook Pro where i will use Hindenburg Journalist Pro. I'm not too bothered with plug-ins. Do you think the Apollo Solo is the cheapest way to convert analogue to digital without compromising the quality of my mic / pre-amp? Or could I consider the PreSonus AudioBox USB 96?

[@TalesByMax]

I just bought the Twin today. Thanks for this because coming from a simple little Scarlett Solo I felt lost.

[@augustwhite4630]

Hey Sanjay, I currently record on a 10year old scarlet 2i2 usb-Interface and want to upgrade my setup to a more professional one - starting with a new interface whic should be reliable and serve me well for the next 6+ years of my production journey. As I now have the chance to buy a used (1y old) apollo solo from a local recording studio for 400€, i was wondering if you would recommend doing so or if I should rather go with a cheaper interface (e.g. Audient Id14; SSL2+ Or even AUDs Volt 276)? I heard that with only one chip, the solo might run into problems with the DSP plugins, but as I would most likely only use the free plugins one gets when buying the solo in the beginning, don’t own any analogue gear and mostly record vocals (rap/singing), I don’t know if this would even be a problem for me. Basically, would you recommend buying the solo - and is it a great interface for long term use or just a gimmick for professionals that wont be worth it for me as a semi-professional (personally I heard everything from totally overpriced and wont be able to deal with the plugins to a total game changer and recommended if one is serious about recording). I just really want a well manufactured, reliable interface and am kind of struggling to find some good information on this. Love your videos and thank you in advance!

[@andrewreeds1524]

The song is soo good!!! Also learnt from Dharti's instagram that you wrote the song in the night. I hope you get some good sleep if you haven't already.

[@SanjayC]

Thanks so much, Andrew. You know I was working on another song for such a long time and then I had Ableton issues. So I had to throw this one together very quickly.

[@christophergreco6173]

What about gigging with the Apollo x twin or solo. Why wouldn't I want to use all these great, effects, preamps processors,etc. Is there a reason why more people don't do it. Couldn't be as simple as plugging in your guitar to the Apollo x into your computer and run it to an amp or a flat response speaker or a pa??? Please help in comments

[@Singhk47]

Hey so can we connect type c to type c on a pc I don’t have any Thunderbolt port on my pc

[@DECIFERTHIS09]

I need autotune - avalon 737 - mic mod - after that these are optional but wanted 1176 - la2a - and maybe a eq i can just use the avalons hp and eq if anything, can the solo handle that? I also need the plugins to work on 2 computers at the same time is that something you can do? I'm assuming with the twin I can do that and also have send tracks for reverb and delay and probably be fine live right? Also can you run external plugins on the apollo, I will literally use black and white stock plugins on it if I have too.

[@maiyanadavis7653]

I have external mic preamp and compressor, can I connect those to the Solo?

[@man4consrobot]

Great video, Sanjay C! I'd love to get the Twin but my budget at the moment is making me lean more towards the Solo. I'm afraid with the Solo though that I'll be trying to run too many UA plugins. Are you able to maximize the number of plugins if you were to "write" them in at the recording stage? Or does that not make a difference?

[@SanjayC]

You can maximize them by "writing" them when recording, or even bouncing tracks. If you can get a Twin, I think you'll be happier in the long run....unless you're music is pretty simple.

Very good overview of these UA interfaces. 👍🏻👏🏻 I watched this video because I‘m thinking about purchasing a very good AI, but I‘m not sure if a Focusrite Clarett wouldn’t be good enough for my needs either, as I have so many plugins already. The only thing I‘d like to know is if Apollo Solo and Focusrite Clarett preamps both have the same quality? The quality is said to be definitely better than that of the Scarlett preamplifiers and I wouldn‘t want to buy and work with new Plugins, So: are the preamplifiers’ quality of Focusrite Clarett interfaces as good as those os UA interfaces?
