The best there is!
Having already owned the Apollo twin X, I knew that this was just gonna be nothing short of great! Again amazed by the quality of these products, and the way that they integrate together is over the top amazing!

Better read the fine print..I/O claims are VERY misleading
Unbelieveable that every single piece of da gear I've ever owned has had the ability to do mic and line signals simultaneously. Sure it can do 16 channels....of line or 8 channela of mic but not both. This is essentially just a very expensive 8 track recorder. If you are hoping to run 8 unisons and 8 channels of outboard gear simultaneously you better keep looking or pony up for an x8 to have 8 channels of outboard gear. Read the fine print. Uad is really misrepresenting this line. Even the sweetwater reps are glossing over that detail when selling them. "Sure tou can run outboard gear...sure you can run 8 unisons" BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME!..You can only run mic or line but not both. Very dissapointing. Still waiting for the satellite...

so glad
I'm so glad I purchased I purchased this... the best interface I have worked with. The plugins are superior to any other.

5 stars if I’m a new Universal Audio customer...................
However, I’m a loyal customer, so they get 3.5 stars. If you’re buying your first UA X product, pull the trigger, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re a loyal UA customer, you’ll be lacking a “brand loyalty” experience from UA, as they have not focused on repeat customer satisfaction. This became ever so evident when I missed the “good until December 31st” buy an Apollo X 8p and receive an Octo Satellite Thunderbolt. I understand the circumstances, and empathize, but receiving nothing in absence of this promotion was unacceptable. I submitted a complaint about same, and received a $50 plug in credit. This seemed insulting in light of the $2000 CAD shortfall my initial purchase was suppose to have realized. I own thousands of dollars worth of UA gear, and have not been disappointed with any of it, but I will explore other brands as it seems my loyalty has gone unnoticed. UA, if you want to be the best, your customer service and customer satisfaction has to be as good as your products. My 2 cents.

Awesome bit of kit. Super easy to install, feature rich and the sound is simply sublime.

Impresionante !!!
Versátil, cálido, funcional, potente, lo tiene todo . Incluso los previos sin ningún plugin unison suenan correctísimos , muy recomendada.
A. Brown
Top notch
So glad I pulled the trigger on this. I have two Apollo 8s, and this has now taken the top spot in the rack!

It’s all in this box?? Really?
I am absolutely feeding my creative brain with UA insanity right now. I wish I had switched over years ago. It’s clean, it’s precise and it’s a bit of order in a chaotic musical world. Thanks for your commitment to quality UA! I’m much more satisfied in the Maserati!

Game Changer!
The Apollo x8p and the UA plugs have been a revelation these last few weeks! I cannot get over how much better this stuff sounds! The conversion and features built into the interface are perfect! I haven’t been this inspired by a piece of gear in a decade....

Great from UA
I still owm an UA 4-710d, the API 3124, my trusty Avalon 737 and this is my last add to my home studio. The result is amazing!!!! The sound on my drums is amazing and I hope this will be my last piece of gear for my studio. Thank UA. Complimenti from Italy
A. Di Lorenzo
Great from UA
Absolutely great! The sound is gorgeous and all the sounds breath! I still own a UA 4-710 d, an API 3124 and the trusty Avalon 737. This is my last addition and I hope the missing link in my home studio.... and it's incredible. Complimenti from Italy

Apollo X8P
I was delaying this purchase for long time considering going to Pro Tools as my digital summing and master Daw after Ableton session recording and arranging . Tried PT before wasn’t to keen tbh .
When Luna came out i was very happy because i was a ready committed to UA owning many plug ins .
So Apollo and Luna is now running and it is exactly what i was looking for . Great Hardware/ Software integration and World Class ADDA .
I can’t fault it at the moment , it sounds very good and i’ll expand the system now with Luna on board for sure .
I’d have few suggestions in regards to Luna but this is for Luna review .
For anyone who is not keen on Luna , Console is very good too so no problems there . Simple clearly laid out and full of useful features .
Apollo is a great piece of kit with plenty of options and if you are not keen to commit to UA plug in library it’s not a problem you can run any other plug ins .
I’d advise to think about it though as to get a full power from Apollo you want to be able to use Unison Plug ins etc ...

J. Stuart
Absolutely Superb
It would be pretty difficult to give this outrageously fine unit anything but 5 stars. The sound detail is so good and the mic pre's and the line in and outs. I had the 8p's and these are a lot better in that you get the mic pre's and the Line In and Outs as well as the ADAT, which I run in a load of 500 series mic pre's using the Cranbourne 500ADAT. So much on it, so high end and inspiring. Well done UAD, it's fantastic. I might get another!
T. Davies
Amazing, but could do with a few more inputs....
Absolutely wonderful unit, sounds incredible. The monitoring workflow is particularly nice, being able to record with impeccable reverbs etc on the headphone mix is a dream. The only downside for me is that it would've been great to have a few more inputs. I would've happily paid more to have the 8 DSUB line inputs independent from the XLR inputs, to make a total of 16 channels (8 mic/line XLR and 8 line via DSUB) in 1u.

What more can you say....
I have owned an Apollo 8 for a few years now and have loved everything about it, but the busier I got the more processing I needed. So I purchased the x8P. It gave me the extra mic pre's I needed for added inputs and more than enough processing power to knock out the tracking and mixing I have. UA is always on top of the game and I love the gear. Thank you guys!! Keep up the great work.

Vom Feinsten
Das X8P hat ein deutlich breiteres Stereobild und Klangtiefe als meine vorheriges Audio Interface. Die Latenz ist super auch mit geöffneten UAD Plug Ins, was vorher gar nicht ging. Der Sound ist super. Es macht richtig Spaß auch alte Songs wieder neu abzumischen. Seit über 30 Jahren bin ich im Studiobereich dabei und kann nur sagen, Das ist echte Oberliga.
