Universal Audio Apollo Twin USB With Realtime UAD Processing

I am a voice actor, so this interface was a MUCH needed upgrade. I love that it has multiple microphone inputs, as well as options to have each mic have their own specific gain and use. Overall very happy with my purchase. My only real problem is the interface took a lot of work to get functioning with the new set up. (Not on the interface itself's fault, more that Universal Audio apparently doesn't have a lot of support for PCs despite making a PC specific interface model.)

I like that

I have had tons of audio interfaces over the years. In terms of quality of the sound this one is on par with everything else, but where it really shines is the Mic Pre-amp section and the "Unison" functionality that changes impedance. The plugins are pretty expensive and to my ears, outside of unison preamps like Avalon and Neve you're probaby better getting similar plugin emulations from Arturia or Softube for much less $$$.

Where to begin... First off Guitar Center doesn't even back this product, no return policy. I have had this for two weeks and it's burnt out. Probably because it overheats within minutes to the point where it burns to touch. How is this not a safety concern? After two weeks, I started getting crackles, odd pitch shift distortion. This is in protools, system sounds and internet browsers. Oh yea and when you plug it in, it slows down all media so it's playing in slow motion. As soon as you turn off the power everything works. Tech Supports a joke. Want to blame everything except their product. Save your time and money.

This box replaced a Steinberg audio interface on a large multi computer scoring rig. I record just one mic when I do record analogue. The converters on the UAD interface are amazing. The headphone amp is stellar! Best $$ I've spent in years.

UAD plugins are nice works well like any other audio interface. How ever the drivers are not signed so beware in order to use this you have to remove secure boot in your bios and you have to run Windows in test mode so the driver verification is shut off. If you are unaware of this it could take some time to figure out. A lot of price are mad because they feel as though they are compromising their system in a way you are. It's not cool anytime you have to shutdown security features. I also have no better latency with this USB 3.0 over my Roland Super UA which is USB 2.0. They are both equally faster so if you are buying this trying to shave off some milliseconds you Will Not. The Fairchild UAD plug in does bring some life to a mix. That is the only one so far I am really impressed with . I just received this this past week and It is a good unit though it does get quite warm. I hope that is not a near future issue. I am writing this review so others will know what to expect.
