It was your review that made me do it...To get me one for my studio setup. And boy, am i glad now that I made that investment. It's insane what difference it makes to the more 'amateur' tools I used before. Just to mention the EQ-spectrum quality of the sound that I hear via the headphones out now, on the same (pro) studio headphones that I've been using already for 2 years now.... it's an amazing difference: I hear crisps and bumps that I have never heard before, although I was pretty sure that the quality with the other tools was good too. and then... finally working without all that latency-shit. Halleluya! I can recommend the Apollo to anyone who is serious about high quality audio productions.

I’ve had mine since early 2019, sent it only once for repairs to UAD, but it works great. My Presonus fire studio crapped on me so now I’m stuck with just two mics for my whole kit which is fine for now, one kick and one overhead behind the kit and the twin gets that done nicely. I recommend it too.

@@AudioUniversity yes, the specs and routing options via Console make it ideal for tracking into ProTools, although the plug-ins on the Twin are limited by the on-board chips, so bounce-to-disk is significantly slower than when using AAX plugins - a simple podcast ep will render 20-30x speed with all AAX plugins, but once UAD plugins are used, it drops to 6x. Not an issue for rendering songs, but for fast turnaround podcast productions, I will stick with AVID AAX plugins

Great review and superb clear explanation. I am trying hard to justify the purchase of this while having a Focusrite Clarett. The chart in 08:24 helped. - Your buffer size is 64 samples and the resulting latency is 4 msec. At that sample rate I get the same latency value with Focusrite Clarett thunderbolt on M1 Macbook Pro. Soo yea...that was a bit off putting..
@AudioUniversity
2 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the video, Baran! Remember - 4 ms is the round trip latency (through the DAW). The Apollo provides even lower-latency monitoring when monitoring through the internal DSP. The Clarett and M1 still have excellent performance, though!
@barankaypakoglu7643
2 жыл бұрын
@@AudioUniversity 4 ms is the round trip latency through my DAW also. When I am monitoring through Focusrite I also have zero latency (without any processing of course). I guess what sets Apollo aside is that you can monitor with zero latency while there is processing in the chain using built-in plugins. But then, why would I need that if I have a guitar amp. Bear with me please while I try to understand what is going on here. Let's say I want to record guitars. I have a splitter in my chain. One signal goes to my guitar amp, the other to my audio interface. I turn off monitoring in my daw and listen to my playing through the amp with zero latency while recording. After I am done, I can process my recording in any way that I want. Considering that this is my setup, do you think I would still benefit from the built in DSP of the Apollo?

5:55 the line input does not "double" the first mic combo jack input. Yes, it uses the same preamp, so that u can use just one at the time. But the line input for instrument (with guitar symbol on the front) has different impedance which is very important when plugin in hi-Z instruments- like guitar. Plugin in the same instrument to the combo-jack input would lead to different sound especially in the highs... Its pretty much the same in every audio interface, so you should have that in mind !!

I work only in the box. But for me it's essential to know if the price difference between a ssl 2+ and this mkii for only the audio reasons is reason to go for the mkii despite the fact i never going to use 90% of the features. I just want to buy the best audio interface for my studio. Would be nice if any reviewer can highlight this as it seems like this most vital part is missed out everytime.
