After a short learning how to use Apollo solo usb and notebook and windows optimizations I can say that I am satisfied with the functionality and sound. Unison preamplifiers sound inspiring and now I can happily do what I love most - play the guitar I am grateful to the Apollo team

Ugh.
The windows integration is by far absolutely trash. Pure trash. Did a bunch of things to get it to work properly. It does heat up as well. It's a great interface with amazing quality tho. Wish it came with the cord. But honestly. Stick to the focusrite.

DISAPPOINTMENT⚠️
I’m so disappointed. I bought this device believing it’s the best for young producers coming up like me. Come to think of it, it’s not better than the Focusrite I had. So disappointed. Can you believe this device doesn’t even come with the cable that works with it. I have to be importing cables from all over the world to test on this shit like I’m on some lab-rat experiment. So disappointed. As I write this review right now I’m currently waiting on cables to further my testing because none I purchased thus for works

Awesome little interface
I love this thing. It works well and I have very little issues besides running out of DSP trying to mix which is a double edge sword as it forces you to commit. (This saves a lot of time believe it or not.) Preamps are so clean, especially in the lower range. A couple of the UAD plugins are fantastic and in my opinion have no equal.

Rock Solid and Sounds Fantastic
I use this on Windows (make sure to get a superspeed USB 3.x cable) and it's incredible. I can literally use compression, EQ, distortion, and everything else on the incoming signal, just like hardware. Offloading the CPU pressure to this box speeds everything up and gives me zero noticeable latency when tracking. Even when mixing, the speed and assistance provided by these incredible plug ins is simply top notch. The unit is metal and travel ready (this is my travel interface) and works easily with my headphones for monitoring. No complaints at all. Amazing interface!

Student out of budget
Would you like to support a motivated student who doesn't have money by offering a Auto tune please ?

Goods and Bads.
Goods: Sound. Sound is actually great. UI is pretty comfortable. Low latency on console using.
Bads: Windows integration. This is just a nightmare. All the UAD software on windows os add extra lattency to the whole system response, even with no plugins usage. Daw integration the same situation. Adding a new(some times even the first plugin in a project, dsp load at the moment is 0) plugin to the chain just kicks out sound card from DAW. It looses connection with card with a message "Too much load on DSP". There is no enough single DSP resources for connecting a plugin "on the way"? Seriously?
The next bad point about integration with DAW: I can't work in any DAW with a buffer, lower then 2048 samples. It just loose connection when you starting\opening a project. Heavy or empty, doesn't matter.
And the last bad thing, i've found. There is a LOT conflicts with Nvidia video card drivers. Saying a lot, i mean that i've to power off the card to get my videocard (GeForce 1080 TI) works without bugs. Works normal for a while(only for a while) with stock drivers(2 years old version), but in this way i can't receive any updates or bug fixes.
The conclusion: The feelings of using this device are really complicated. If there was no such a good sound, it's a bad buy. The usage process is terrible, installation and integrations with other software is terrible. But the sound is good. Seriously, good.

Plugins
So a cheap version on Marshall plexi and a to buy version on Marshall plexi Lead...... not mentioned before? Same with all the plugins (free version and the real to buy?) .And the missing USB 3.0 cable and the missing Luna software... what are you thinking? Profits for ever!!!!

Still a scam/10
After finally getting the usb cable to make the thing work, turns out it sounds like shit. The audio is crackling and glitchy and trying to play a youtube video just make the video stop. I've tried all the many solutions proposed online and none of them worked. Buy that if you're a mac user but otherwise just get a good old Focursite.

Very happy overall!
Audio on PCs is never easy but I’ve found that this little unit is perfect for my needs, even with its quirks.

This shouldn’t exist
Why use a higher latency (usb 3) and market it so similarly to the thunderbolt? Absolute poo. Makes zero sense- you don’t even include a usb 3 cord. Ever tried to find a usb 3 cable?

Apollo Solo USB
Я уже давно мечтал о такой звуковой карте , но не было средств приобрести её . И вот я купил этот девайс и это превосходно , качество звука очень хорошее , я пишу вокал в домашней студии , шума нету , детализация звука на высоком уровне.
Я всем буду рекомендовать и рекламировать эту звуковую карту так как она в этом ценовом сегменте самая лучшая , она вне конкуренции . А ещё на борту у неё плагины аналоги железных приборов которые так же вне конкуренции ,покупкой очень доволен , рекомендую всем !!!

Apollo SOLO USB it's my new possibilities
This is a great device! It sounds great, it looks great, the relays snap great. The controls are well thought out, this is a real high-end, at the same time it is easy to take with you, it looks very reliable, and this is USB-C, finally! I can put together the studio sound of my bass guitar and take it with me to rehearsal. UAD is always with me now, I went to this for a long time! I'm taking the long awaited next step in my creativity!
I'm a concert sound engineer and this is a great start for my studio practice! I immediately supplemented the system with a DUO satellite, since the DSP resource in SOLO is very limited. I love the way UAD sounds and works. Thank you!

Great on Windows 10
Took a bit to get setup - have an older (2011) Windows 10 machine that I built myself. Didn't work at first (I think my USB 3.0 ports / drivers were not supported.) Worked through it with UAD support, who were great. Everything they said made sense; eventually we added a Rosewill USB 3 PCI card, and that fixed the final issue. Was able to get that next-day from Amazon.
Now that it's running, and I've optimized this PC, it's just a game changer for me. Recording vox in my second room into REAPER is so great with realtime DSP. Zoom calls with "Original Sound" turned on, using DSP in realtime... just really a better experience for conference calls or recording sessions with work clients.
Took some time to get configured, but I'm impressed.
