More than I expected
I didn't think that it would be that kind of improvement to my previous Interface, but I must say I'm deeply impressed with it's sound and the ease of use.

A new world of opportunity
Best choice I've made in 10 years of writing, recording and producing music.
I used to think that I should only get higher-end gear when my skills would require the change. And that I could "make it work" with less accurate interfaces and plugins.
However, I now understand that it's actually the Apollo which is now pushing me forward, and that my previous interfaces were holding me back.
It's not always about gear - but sometimes it is, and this is one of those times.
So much power, such a small size, so much ergonomy, so little compromise.
I can't praise it enough.
On a side note, I think that dedicated DSP is a great feature. It allows me to run my plugins on both my Mac Pro, as well as, on the go, on my old, very hold, very lame, Macbook Air.
What was just a backpack-computer now became an extension to my studio.
I rarely get excited for a piece of hardware. And that's why it took me so long to consider switching to UAD. But this is an absolute gamechanger.
And don't even get me started on the plugins...

The Best
The best choice for your studio flow. Great quality and extremely useful signal routing. Do yourself a favor and buy a Twin MKII!

Game Changer for me
The UAD Apollo is a game changer for producers looking to level up their workflow. In combination with Logic, I feel armed with the best tools my budget can buy, which gives me the confidence to make bold production decisions while working with artists.

Wow
Had a little problem while registering my product but daaaamn this sounds good. 100% would buy again. Plug ins are awesome too and no latency with the dsp. But since I bought the solo I can't put too much plug ins at the same time.

The review of the bad side
It's good because of UAD pluggin and excellent hardware performance, I don't need to talk too much about this.
But they really need to improve DSP usage on giant emulatuon. Giant emulation sounds good because of complet emulate the fundamental electronic component on the actual gear, but customer does care that, they only care about sound and how much instance they can run simultaneously on the hardware.
Also they need to develope some basic tool such as noise gate, filter, etc. It just doesn't exist, when I first time realized that I was shock by the way, this is the best way to save DSP to do the minor thing sometime.
Also they might need to think about a better idea to cool down the apollo twin, it runs hot. The whole unit is like a heat sink, even though it won't affect its life time and running performance, but customer don't know that, and it will usually lead them to unnesseary annoying.

Blown Away
I can't believe how amazing the Unison preamps sound. Really just a different level compared even to other high-end interfaces. Simply mind blowing.
K. Kessler
Amazing and very real!
Works very intuitive and with no latency. Can run about 15-20 UAD plugins in the DAW. Only wish it would come up with either 1073 or SSL plugin included with the start bundle but overall the plugins included are great as well! I wish UAD had student discounts.
T. Slaughter
The Best!
There is nothing like the quality and flexibility of the UA economy of gear! UA plugins sound identical to their analog counter parts. There are times I chose to use the 610b plugin instead of the actual unit I had sitting next to me!
A. Diaz
Amazing sound
Simply the best desktop interface ever.
P. Eblen
Great Interface
Game Changer
C. Poppert
Simply amazing
Bought the twin after my focusrite saffire died and couldn't be more impressed with my purchase. The integration with plugins and console software to reduce the strain on your system is just super cool. So stoked.

Does what it says on the box!
After dabbling with recording and sound design with a few products on a few platforms for a decade, I think it's safe to say going with Universal Audio was worth the wait. I even had my older interfaces nearby for some testing... It was no contest.
Running my older recorded samples and recent sessions through the Apollo left me in tears, and then I started adding some plugins and my face melted. It is hard to type this. Please fix my face, UAD.

Absolutely Amazing Unit
I'm coming from the Apollo Twin Duo USB/Windows side. Recently switch over to Apple and i had needed a new interface. The power of this thing is absolutely incredible when running plugins. I got the Quad chip this time around and I could not be more pleased. My work flow is much more efficient now that i have more DSP (less freezing/committing/printing tracks). Thanks UA!
T. Reaves
Awesome, powerful, and flexible!!
Love what UAD has done with the Apollo series of gear. I use this in conjunction with my x8 in my home studio both connected to my iMac. When I'm on the go, I use this with my MacBook Pro and presto; instant mobile setup! Well done, and well thought out Universal Audio!! Killer deal w/ plugins by the way...

Great interface
It's even better than the MK1, converters and functionality is better. Love it. Can't go wrong with that !

Instant-Buy with the Plug-ins
With all the awesome vocal plug-ins, this was an insta-buy for me. I had my previous interface for years and didn't really see a need to upgrade, but the unison pre-amps and other UA products just makes tracking & recording that much more exciting.
A. Micheli
Couldn't be more satisfied
I just purchased the unit and all I can say after two weeks of tweaking and recordings with my Apollo Twin is that I couldn't be more satisfied!
Top Quality preamps and incredible results out of unison plugins
F. Rossi
Una scelta onerosa...ma necessaria!
Ho passato un anno nel dubbio se comprarla o meno...
Dopo 2 settimane di utilizzo posso dire solo una cosa, quanto tempo buttato!
Consigliata vivamente sia se siete dei producer itineranti che fissi in uno studio, questa scheda non può non far parte della vostra lineup!
