A "fantastic" purchase
A "fantastic" purchase... I use my new Apollo Twin MkII to process live my voice. When I'm in the studio it turns into two fantastic channel strip to process guitars or basses in real time.

Well built with looks and specs to match
Good looking two channel interface with super clean pre's and enough poke in the Duo DSP chips to run all the plugins I need for recording vocals and guitar. One great feature I really like is the built in talkback mic which can be used for guide vocals when recording an idea for a song, essentially making this unit a 3 channel audio interface. The improved monitor functionality with mono, mute and dim are well thought out and it also works as a remote controller for the monitors hooked up to my Quad, which is very useful. Only caveat is a lack of flex routing when combined with an Apollo rack mounted interface and no midi control, but maybe these will be addressed in future software updates.

Clarity and flexibility
The apollo twin mkii had great clarity and lots of great plug-ins. So great that I'm actually a bit hesitant to try them out because the fear of finding something so fantastic that I can't be without it when I haven't got the money to buy it. If I just got some more documentation about the plug ins with something to pipit me in the right direction but again that might be one of the reasons why the forum is there for. amazing build a
Quality, stable drivers and nothing to complain about!

The Twin is a Game Changer
The Twin MkII has revolutionized the way I make music. I never really did much recording before I had a Twin because I could never get a good sound, at least quickly or reliably. Now, I sit down at my desk, plug my pedalboard straight into the front of the Twin, pull up an amp sim, pick a preset, and PLAY. It's made recording a breeze. I've already used it on several projects to give clients tracks remotely, and the engineer even commented that it may be easier for us to just start working like this from now on.
I also appreciate how intuitive the Twin is. I don't have much experience/knowledge with recording gear, but the Apollo Console feels very easy to navigate, and the controls are tactilely intuitive.

Great product - from a novice engineer
Bought this piece of magical brilliance after deciding to upgrade from a focusrite Scarlett. This device was highly recommended and so far the decision to purchase has been noting short of brilliant. The talk back function is a great addition from the mk1 and gets endless use when speaking to people in the booth. The plugins are very amazing and while buying equipment will not make your music automatically better the joy of using this product has re-ignited my passion for learning new techniques tracking and mixing wise. Could rant on and on but I advise you at least try out this product first. I'm sure you won't be disappointed

The Next Level
The decision to move to Apollo was largely inspired by a few friends who sold me on the platform and ecosystem of UAD plugs. I'm no recording professional, but the Apollo Twin MKII has opened up a workflow that feels very much like recording in a fulsome studio. For my band and songwriting, it's a natural shift. The new features of the MKII are particularly welcomed when tracking, with the ability to easily switch between monitors and headphones via the addition of some onboard functions. Looking forward to diving into the world of UAD plugs and carving a unique sound. Already eyeing a Satellite for added DSP horsepower.

Excellent interface.
A great interface with seamless integration with the Apollo 8 and Satellite Quad and what can be said of the four Sharc chips and monitoring and talkback. A great addition if you're expanding your setup and a must have if setting up for the first time.

Fantastic update!
Love the new integrated talkback mic, monitor controls, and though I can't discern a difference yet, I'm sure the converters are a great update!

Magic
First owner of a solo 110 and a 4-710, I had to invest in a apollo twin. I ve chose. The duo thunderbolt. It s pure magic!!! Sound is like cristal. All my precious mix sounds weak. The dsp and plug ins are awesome. I can t wait have a big project to record and mix. The routing and console settings is quite more difficult to understand but there s a lot of routing that can be done. More open than my previous soundcard
I am so convinced that I m about to buy a satellite to do all my mix with the twin and its dedicated plug ins!!
My only regret is to not buy directly a apollo 8 as in/out coaxial spdif is lacking in the twin and to use more out and in
Anyway with the adat, i get 10 excellent in with 2 unison preamp

Great!
Apollo Twin MkII and UAD plugins opened my eyes for recording in a very new way.
I like what I'm doing again!
B. PINHEIRO
Wow!!!!!
I felt depressive at first about the cost of my new APOLLO-TWIN-MKII-QUAD and of the price average of plugins. But, now i'm feeling a real pop star singing with some spectacular plugins. Do a favor to yourself: don't give up, this thing worths each dollar. UA could consider creating a subscription service with different plans for different budgets. It could be very helpfull.

Astonishingly sound quality with compact body
It's truly remarkable. and also useful compact sized but actually robust body. Sound quality and these conveniences are spectacularly harmonized!!

Apollo Twin MkII Fantastic
This is an absolutely fantastic unit with phenomenal sound. There was another high end unit by another vendor that I compared this unit with. I was totally amazed at the difference in the sound because the "numbers" ( fidelity ) were almost identical. I was also impressed as to how compact the unit is. Small enough for the road.
Lots of cool features for studio type recording such as the monitor option. If you are reading my review then you know what the built in Quad means. There is no need for a separate plug-in controller. Its built in to the audio interface. Sure I was concerned about my audio and plug-n operating in one housing as it pertains to bandwidth. I loaded the interface up and tried to run it into overload for an hour, but it just hummed along with plenty of bandwidth over the thunderbolt transmission protocol. Its been simply fantastic. So...are there any drawbacks? I could mention the fact that this unit gets pretty warm, but I wont. That's all I have. This unit is fantastic. I don't see how anyone could go wrong with one of these.

Apollo Twin is Outstanding!
Purchased the unit to complement my Apollo UAD Duo with the thunderbolt option installed. I can run a 4-710d and another ADAT device into both units, and now my studio is using the full I/O capabilities with no latency, no issues. Plugins sound fantastic too. What a purchase!
