Just what I needed
I am hooked, love it. Such good sound and the best plugins, latency is a thing of the past. A mini pro studio on my desktop, no sore back with my Apollo's Ampeg!

My second Apollo Twin Duo
This is my second Apollo Twin DUO, one year ago I bought the MKI and suddenly after 8 months it broke while using in my house after a bad electrical tension overload and two of the four converter been burned. I live in Italy so for changing the broke components I should send my Apollo in California. The only thing I could do was buying another Apollo Twin.
So I did and with no regrets. As always excellent audio conversion, preamps and fantastic plug-ins library. Super recommended!!!

Great audio interface and great company!
A few years ago, some friends were telling me about the Apollo Twin sound card. Because of the price, i was hesitated. A few week ago, i called my music store and ask a guy about digital mixer, sound card etc... I was looking for a device with good sound and easy to used. Then again, the same audio interface (Apollo Twin) came into our discussion. After reading many review, i felt i was the only musician and composer fool enough not to have this device, so I decided to go for it and buy the Apollo Twin Duo. To be honest with you people, yesterday was my first recording with my Apollo. My wife was resting on her bed, than when she heard my classical guitar composition playing on my Yamaha HS7 speaker, she get up and came to see me. She said, is that you who is playing? I said, sure why not. The sound is so good. She ask if i did it with my new audio interface? And i said yes, does it sound good? She said, wow! This sound really good. I also bought at the same time Softube Console 1 and the Persons Faderport 8. It was my first recording experience with my Apollo Twin duo and my first mixing experience with my Console 1 and Faderport 8. This "trio" is a "must have" device people. I love my Apollo twin. It is a dream come true. Thank you Universal Audio. Not less, with the audio interface, there is excellent software that come with it. Also, a few days ago, Universal Audio send me an email and inform me that i was into their grace period for there new promotion on the Apollo Twin audio interface. And guess what? I have got 3 news softwares from UA. A value of almost $650. What can I ask more? I spend my last week to study my new devices and my new softwares. Now, i'm ready to experiment. Would i recommend this audio interface? Oh yes!!! for sure!!!

No latency
Exellent product. No latency. Little bit expensive the inserts.

Fantastic Fantastic Interface
I’m coming from a Original Apogee FW Duet which served me well for almost 11 years.
I was looking for something different and decided to go with a Apollo Twin Duo and glad I did. The sonic clarity is top notch.
I was really impressed plugging in my Bass through a LA-2A and getting the same flavor when playing live. I then put up a Real Verb and just melted from the clean sweet reverb. With no plugins the sound is still incredible with my Bass. If you need minimal I/O The Twin is the one to get the only thing to decide is Solo,Duo or Quad.
By far the best gear purchase I’ve made in years. Don’t think about it. Get it.

Apollo review from down under
So far so good pre amp sounds great on my bass just straight in with no plug in's. Headphones sound good . Been running the neve 1073 presets over some pre re corded drums and it has worked wonders Would definitely recommend this product .

AMAZING!!!!!!!
A great... No sorry, AMAZING interface!! Very powerful with a great design.
With the DSP I can work with the great UA plugins without making my computer suffer.
Nothing more than a top quality gear! The best you can get!

Great Sounding Piece of Device
I just got this and have not had a chance to record with it yet. However, just by hearing the sound coming out of it, I can hear so much more detail, width, and depth of the tracks I work on. I have also tried using the Unison preamp 610B for vocal practice; so far sounding pretty nice, with very low latency. Hoping to get Neve preamp plug sometime soon for even better result and try out on actual vocal recording. One sad thing is that two weeks after I purchased this, a deal started to give out free plugs (including the Neve that I wanted) with the purchase of this same item. Made me feel I bought this at the completely wrong timing... But, at least, regarding the device itself, I am happy to own it and would recommend one to anybody.

Another Great Unit from Universal Audio!
Universal Audio has been making incredible gear for decades now and this Apollo Twin is no exception. It's very simple, sleek, easy to use, and blazing fast. All the extra monitoring features (mono, dim, mute etc.) are a great addition and the talkback mic operates and sounds excellent. When you pair the crystal clear converters, thoughtful design, and the powerful Unison pre-amp emulations together, it becomes a truly unstoppable record-making machine! I really love this interface and would recommend it to anybody looking to take their home recording to a truly professional level.

Apogee Quartet for Apollo Twin Mark II Quad.
I sold my Apogee Quartet after buying the Apollo Twin mark II Quad. The SOUND is actually quite amazing even before you apply a Unison PreAmp. These UAD plugins are something else - I was blown away by the depth and sonic clarity! I enjoyed the Quartet But the Apollo is a far better choice for me. I would highly recommend trying it. You will not be disappointed. I am probably going to add the Apollo 8 Quad to the Twin which should give me an additional 4 pre's as well as ample DSP so that I can use more and more of those wonderful Unison plugins. Love it!

Blown away by it's Unison Pre Amp Tech !!!
Fast !!! Looks Sexy !!! Best Design I've ever seen!!! Really Really Amazed with the Unison PreAmps!!!
BUT the only issue I was wondering about is the HEAT!!! it gets very hot , no matter how long I'm using it. Makes me worried somehow. although the body is made of steel, but it needed more things to consider about the temperature I guess.

A small wonderful, almost magic device!
This is a must have audio device.
Delivery a unique wonderful sound, with only Universal Audio can delivery!
Magical preamps, no latency, amazing software and plugins that I can't believe how they emulate hardware so perfectly.
I expend the money that I should not have to expend (my wife want kill me) but it worth every penny!

So far so good
This is the best sound card I have ever owned, the quality is flawless and the sound is nice and crisp. Its so easy to use and with the software that follows make it a dream when it comes to zero latency when you are using your daw. In my case Cubase 9 pro.
I recommend it strongly

Such a professional sound from such a simple device!
As the title implies, I'm blown away by the Apollo Twin. I listen back to songs I've tracked in disbelief. It sounds expensive!
