So, it’s pretty much useless without the help of another DAW! I don’t know who would buy an Apollo who isn’t already using a DAW. And since it’s Mac only, why bother if Garage Band comes with every Apple device. I just bought an Apollo and I’m trying to integrate it into my hybrid setup with external synthesizers, multiple audio interfaces, and I’m still trying to figure out recording with Console. I’m confused. So, do I record directly in my DAW, or do I have to record through the Console?

Knowing how to really get the most of it - is certainly the trick. A quick way I always tell people to think about it is - imagine you have only a few pieces of rack gear but you wanna use it on a ton of instruments, well you’d have to print your rack gear sounds on the way into your daw! So this is really no different. I’ve been crazy happy with this and I really do use it a lot when I do sessions away from my home mix studio. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Garage band is way limited vs Luna. Secondly, console is simply a control application in lieu of physical faders and pan knobs on your Apollo. If you’re using Luna, you don’t need console, if you’re in any other daw, console is likely necessary. Unless you’re using it for literally just I/O and you monitor through your daw.

Nicely done 👍👍, just a suggestion as a viewer.. bro.. You know this thing already as we say in music production "Less is more" My only suggestion to you is try to reduce the time of your video by only keeping the content that is must. It's a good idea to show how you were recordings track by track but don't you think it would great if you tell people the mindset behind the individual track..like why did you choose to play that riff, your feelings at the that moment, emotions that you were feeling. (The image of the end product in your mind). Please give it a thought. :) Rest, your video was great... keep doing what you love. And keep up the good work bro.

I am very much a beginner, but my question is: How do I after recording a scat track or melody on guitar, how do I play that track back so I can play along and record another guitar or keyboard track? I have learned how to record and play back, track by track. I have learned how the solo button works, but Im not understanding how you play along to the tracks you have already recorded, if that makes any sense.

I think its really odd that Console doesn't just become part of Luna. Like, you switched to console to put your inserts in, and set them to record mode. Why can't you just do that in luna? I should be able to put in unison plugs as well as other effects, and set them to record. It seems dumb to have to still have console open in the background when using luna.

@TheSteveKinney
3 жыл бұрын
great question! I'm actually surprised how often people ask me about the Audient. I think they do a great job! However, in my honest opinion - the Apollo Solo is gonna win out. 1. You get the unison tech. It is honestly downright amazing. I've worked in major studios and used the real hardware that all of the UAD plugins emulate and it's unbelievable how it recreates the real sounds. 2. The realtime monitoring with the processing is a game changer for tracking vocals 3. The technical audio specs are as good or in some cases better than the Audient. It's a close match in a few categories, but the important ones - the Solo wins out for sure. Don't take my word for it though, look up the hardware manual for both of them at the same time and side by side compare the technical specs. You'll be able to see what I'm talking about. That being said, the X factor of the Unison stuff sets the Apollo over the edge. Hope this helps, Steve
