It’s great

I’ve had every Apollo Twin MkII and the best by far is the quad version you won’t realize it until you hit that wall of not enough dsp but with the quad you should have enough for most projects it’s awesome!

If you're on the fence, PLEASE READ!!! --- [Learn from my mistakes]

I have been writing, recording, producing, mixing and mastering for almost a decade. One of the first things I bought for my home studio was an Apogee Duet 2, when it was first released 8 years ago. Between other studios and my own, I have used/experienced countless pieces of analog gear, as well as nearly every popular 3rd-party plugin on the market. Some good, some bad. I'll get back to that in a second.

A few years ago, someone told me about the Apollo Twin. But since I already had the Duet, I wrote it off as an unnecessary expense, and honestly didn't even give it a second thought until last year. For whatever reason, it came onto my radar, and I decided to do a little digging. I was not only impressed by the surface-level differences between the Twin and almost ALL other desktop interfaces on the market (ie. build quality, I/O's, esthetics, Thunderbolt vs. USB, etc.), but was fascinated by the idea of "true analog modeling" and dedicated processing power that UA was utilizing.

For years I was using a Mac Mini that would overload DAILY in Logic Pro. If you have ever experienced CPU issues within a DAW, then you know there is nothing more annoying and disruptive to your workflow. After reaching my breaking point (about 2 years ago), I decided to go all out and upgrade to a "fully loaded" Mac Pro, numerous external hard drives and SSDs. And while most of my CPU issues dissipated, guess what, not all of them.

Which brings me to the Apollo Twin (& the whole UAD-2 infrastructure). I'm not going to sit here and tell you that this is the be-all and end-all of audio interfaces. And while I still don't think the UAD Plugins are an EXACT match to their analog counterparts (that cost 10-15x more), I do believe, they far exceed nearly ALL other plugins/emulations. Not to mention the quality of the preamps, and features like talk-back, dim, etc. that really help it shine. Thus, in this price range, I believe the Apollo Twin, is THE BEST audio interface, hands down. I definitely recommend the QUAD, you'll thank me later.


P.S.

REMEMBER THIS!!! You're never going to totally eliminate all of your processing woes. Just like you're never going to find that perfect piece of analog gear, or that one plugin that changes everything. A lot of musicians/engineers share this common misconception, and in turn, waste a lot of money, and more importantly, time, trying to figure it out.

My #1 piece of advice to all musicians/engineers, is to spend less time focusing on what you don't have, or what you think you "need" to succeed, and more time on what matters most; Making Music. "Continuous Improvement is better than delayed perfection." - Mark Twain.

Apollo Twin MKII Duo

Can't recommend this more. Built to perfection like a small tank on my desk.The sound is magic. My only regret is that I didn't get this sooner for my home set up. Amazing!

Apollo Twin MkII Quad

I decided to simplify my setup. I had an RME Fireface & wanted to go for a great 2 in 2 out interface & ditch the firewire protocol. The more I read about the Apollo Twin, the more sense it made. Solidly built desktop unit with monitor control right there. But there was more. Mono, mute, talkback, dim. All there. Input controls at the touch of a button. ADAT in, alternate outs. This was looking perfect for me. Then I started to discover the UAD plugins and how many of them interact with the mic/line inputs. I thought I was getting myself a great interface and have realized I have embarked on a journey of sonic bliss. This interface and the system as a whole, is a revelation. I am having so much fun and my creativity is on fire. The UAD plugins are a revolution in audio production that quite simply has me hooked. Everything is rock solid and UA are a company that communicates well in the short time I have been on board. The product information, the forums, it has all left me highly impressed. I can even expand with a satellite, so no fear my Twin Quad will feel outdated soon.
The plugins I predict may keep me broke but UA seem super generous with sales & vouchers and it all seems a bargain compared to the hardware. What a time we live in!
In short, the single best equipment I bought for my studio. Thanks UA.
Happy customer.

BEST 2 channel interface around

I had the original, and now LOVE the mkII. In the future please add octo and the possibility to bypass the pre amps and it would be the PERFECT small interface in the market.

Best thing I did for my home studio

Hard to recommend this more. Every producer in LA has one, even songwriters pick these up for good measure.

From great to greater!

Had the Apollo 8 Quad before, now downsized to the Twin MkII Quad. Downsize? Only in space! The all time best 610B, LA-2A or 1176 & Pultec make recordings, voices and guitars sound natural and strong. Thank you UAD-Crew!

the quality is just precious and It increase the quality of my songs, with the realtime plugins it makes a lot of fun to record stuff and get creative and get some new inspiration.

One-Of-A-Kind

The build quality & converters are sublime and the Unison-feature with its zero latency monitoring is truly amazing. Also, being able to work with UAD plugins inside Softube's Console 1 makes recording and mixing very intuitive and fun. The only downside for me is not having an "Optical OUT" on the unit. Otherwise, this is a brilliant product.

Simply Amazing!!!

I came from a Focusrite Scarlett interface, and the improvements of this interface are the day and night, the AD/DA is really amazing, the unison function is pretty cool, it gives you a great character depends on what are you using, if you are thinking buying it don’t doubt.

Refreshing and Inspireing

Out of the Box running win10 using thunderbolt..Perfect. The ability to have realtime effects and the option to record them ! Jaw dropping effects and processing . Interfaced with my M-Audio firewire 410 for midi runs perfect . Optical out of the firewire to Mkll is killer for recording my samples. This is only going to get better.
