Great Interface
I tracked my hammond organ through the Apollo with plugins and It was amazingly clean and warm! Definitely going to add another unit to increase my pre's and processing power on the front end! Great Job!

Sound is good
The sound of the interface and the plugins is really very good

Great Sound and DSP
Fantastic sound specially when recording and the ability to run all the plugins through the dap power gives your computer quite some wiggle room.
Overall the perfect upgrade to a professional sounding audio interface.

UAD Apollo
Hello, I am delighted with my apollo card, and in general of all the products I have bought from you. I take this message to ask if I have done everything correctly to be able to receive the quad satellite card that goes with the apollo, my level in English is not good, and I sometimes find it difficult to understand everything.
thank you in advance

Very solid unit - Perfect for Mac Tower/non-thunderbolt users
I've been using the Firewire version of the Apollo for over three years now - it's an incredibly solid unit and has paid for itself multiple times over.
The preamps sound great - incredibly clean and not overly colored or "polished". When paired with unison plugins, they sound pretty damn close to the real thing (unfortunately nothing sounds as good as the real thing). AD converters are clean and transparent as well.
I appreciate the option to upgrade to thunderbolt as well.
I understand there are some gripes about bandwidth vs. thunderbolt - I recommend doing some research to see what works best with your system. For me, Firewire works perfectly - even if I'm tracking plugins live.

Great interface
It has made a big influence to my Studio.
Great Sounding Interface and Conversion, and the use of UAD Plugins while recording is a big benefit.
It was one of my best investments in Studio Gear in 2016.
Only Downside no MIDI i/O and only 8 ADAT Inputs and not enough possible output Mixes.
Coming from a Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 (Saffire Mix Control) it´s a litte of a fuzz to create enough Headphone Mixes for my Clients. Mostly I do Live Recording so I have to provide up to 8 separate Headphonemixes simultanously.

GREAT FOR MY SETUP
I was a die hard focus rite liquid Safire 56 and Pro 40user that can't daisy chained. I heard the buzz about the apollo for a few years now but i thought its just new product hype. long story short I started adding more pieces to my studio as i grew my focus rite couldn't plus the routing software got complicated. So I started looking at other gear it took about a good 6 months going in and out of various guitar centers until i stumbled upon the UAD REP he was in the store giving product support to guitar center employees.So i asked if i could join of course he said. so i got the full view on what the apollos can do. two days later sold the focusrite and bought the apollo and by the way studio have grown and the apollo is the center piece working FLAWLESSlY!!!!!!!!!

EL MEJOR SONIDO QUE HE CONSEGUIDO EN MI ESTUDIO GRACIAS A ESTA MARAVILLOSA INTERFACE SE LA RECOMIENDO, VALE LA PENA LO QUE CUESTA, GRACIAS UNA VEZ MAS A UNIVERSAL AUDIO

Pretty. Pure. Professional.
I've changed my setup from an old motu device (including midi) to the apollo card (without midi) and things improved dramatically. Clean standard sound, flexible routing and ease of use with the possibility to get all the good sounding gear with a few clicks of the mouse, makes working much easier and creating music much mor fun.

Game-changing interface
Having worked with many different interfaces over my almost 20 years as a Pro Tools user, I can say that the Apollo Quad Firewire is pretty much as good as it gets in terms of flexibility and audio quality, and completely in a class by itself for its unbelievable plugin integration. Previously I had been using a Focusrite interface, and I actually think they're a great value for the money and also the Mixcontrol software gives tons of great options - and if I had one complaint about the Apollo it would be that there's some features from Mixcontrol that I miss - I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Console 2 for firewire devices, as I'm sure are many. Other than that I'm having a great time so far learning by using the awesomeness of Apollo's Unison pres, routing flexibility, and of course the amazing plugins. For my daily edit/mix workload and my music recording and mastering, I can't imagine a better value for the money, and I can already see that the Apollo transcends the title of audio interface - it also has the potential to be a deep and expressive creative tool for musicians and audio professionals. Thanks, UA!

Not very versatile to upgrade system, poor service
I've been using this interface for 10 months and have run into difficulty upgrading my UAD system. FireWire drivers won't allow for more then 1 satellite. I wanted to get a usb3 octo but would not be able to unless I got rid of my Apollo FireWire and satellite.
I also got a free promotional quad satellite with the purchase of this unit but it took over 9 weeks to receive. My name was left off the list for shipping these promo quad satellites. I called a few times asking when I would be receiving it and was told to be patient. Eventually they realized they never put me on the list to receive one!
The Apollo does perform well and has exceeded my expectations.
Recently I have found customer service poor and insulting. buyers remorse!!

Wonderful!
Wish the thunderbolt ones were available to work with my thinkpad, but im very happy with this for now! looking to expand later instead of investing in more analog gear

Amazing for Guitarists
I've just finished my first project with the Apollo and I have to say it's a significant upgrade.
As a recording guitarist (the project was Guitar Techniques Magazine audio) I found the guitar plugins particularly useful. The way they integrate with the Hi-Z input provides a very authentic feel and sound and as I use Fender and Marshall amps I felt right at home with the models available. The onboard preamps sound great and I found the integrated mic pre models particularly useful for adding a variety to the recordings. I use a pair of SE Titan mics for recording acoustic guitars and the API mic pres are very flattering. For lead work the UA 610 model added lots of beef and juice and again were very useable. A great piece of kit !
