Believe the hype!
The mic preamp on this thing... wow. The realtime Unison plugins... wow. The Apollo Twin changed my recordings for the best, no longer do I have a delay when trying to monitor instruments with plugins, and... AND... somehow I'm able to reduce my sample size to 32 without any cracks or distortion in the same computer I had a 1200 dllr sound card, having to force it to over 1024 samples. Interesting. Well worth the money.

The best desktop audio interface
I've bought several audio interfaces through the years, but the Twin it's by far the best in the market for desktop applications. The Unison tecnology permits you to control plugins through your device and give you an analog recording feel; the AD/DA converter is pristine clear for an accurate listening of your mixes; expandibility with other apollos or different brands (up to 8 imputs controllable with Console software), all with the best support from UA. You can't go better than Apollo!

Lovely machines
A slick and powerful unit! Very impressed. This thing makes my digital workspace an analog nerds dream rig.

Perfect Solution for Professional Streaming (Games, Lectures, etc.)
Sincerely, the Apollo Twin MKII streamlined my previously tedious, routing-latent recording/streaming process. My computer no longer devours valuable CPU to polishing audio, and the Apollo replaces my outboard rig while providing exponentially superior results. Since I can save all of my settings using Console, I literally turn my computer on to find all of my settings loaded for my preamp, channel strip, and limiter. It can hardly get more "Plug-in-and-play" than this!
My only two suggestions:
* Set some money aside for plugins since there are usually massive deals just after registering your Apollo. You'll thank me! (and, yes, they are so worth it)
* Pick up the Duo or Quad. In my case, one heavily processed channel is sufficient, but I would need an upgrade to run two microphones with my present plugin configuration.

Great Product
The Apollo Twin Mkii has been a great product so far. It was easy to setup and register. I'm surprised at how solid the box feels. I already have the quad satellite, so this completes my system. I was waiting for the twin to be upgraded to the same converters as the blackface; and when they did I purchased it. I couldn't be happier. The sound is great. I've been going through old tracks and the difference is noticeable from my previous other-brand interface. The only issue I've found is that when I turn it on it registers as using 39% dsp without having any plugins or daws running. I found the quirky solution buried deep in a uaudio forum. Once I found the solution everything returned to normal. Maybe they will solve this issue in the next UAD software upgrade. Other than that the drivers, plugins, and product are rock solid.

best interface
i used apogee element, ensemblw fw, rme babyface pro. but my best is twin mk2.
especially, input line. that sounds like real analog. moreover, uad's plug-in platform is really great. and it gives me to a lot of inspiration.
also, mk2 got dim, high pass filter, talkbox , beautiful nobs, on the front. it's really useful things for recordintg section.

Awesome!
Super solid option for desktop monitor control and portable recording. Quad DSP with simple I/O facilities and a small footprint. Loving it so far!

Had a problem right out of the box
I received the unit and started using only the LEFT channel for a few days to test it out. Everything worked great. When I tried the RIGHT channel, there was a consistent 500Hz ringing in the channel at about -18db - very noticeable. So now I without a unit for about 3 weeks while contacting tech support for 4 hours, and then eventually sending it back to the retailer. I am still waiting for a replacement to arrive.

Apollo Twin Duo MKII!
Very good sound, nice layout and perfect to have some more channels, DSP and functions to my Apollo 8 Quad.

This is my second Apollo. It sounds a lot better than the first generation Apollos. Perfect integration between them! I love talkback function!

Apollo Twin MkII enjoying the flexibility saving a lot of time through the mixes a bit underwhelming at times feel like I need more functions.

Pro DSP DEVICE !!! Service is exceptionally professional !!!
This is my first UA purchase and I am very pleased. The Apollo 8P is an excellent audio DSP interface. The audio quality is excellent. Having a quad on-board DSP and a close to zero-latency effects applied to audio inputs on the fly (for plugins that support this) is fantastic.
Just starting a few trials with plugins and the sound is top shelf and really opens up possibilities to be creative.
This interface works perfectly with my MacPro using the Thunderbolt connections.
Just missing a second Thunderbolt connector on the Apollo Twin MkII quad. But there service is exceptionally professional !!!

Great Product
Really took my mixes to the next level. Overall I'm very happy that I purchased this.
Only issues that I have ran in to so far are the processing power and the thunderbolt port. The processor I got was the Quad and it still runs out of power very quickly. I was hoping for more power. It only has one thunderbolt with no way to run a series so I lost the use of all other thunderbolt products when using this device. I was using thunderbolt for my display so It really caused and issue for me. I found a work around with a USB to HDMI box.

Death of the Big Knob
The MKII, with the added monitoring features. Its without a doubt the best investment anyone getting started in music can make. Added the UA plugins and you become boss of your own destiny. My Big Knob is unemployed.
