It seems ...
Looks good. Sounds good. Feels good.

After 8 years
I’ve used Apogee, Focusrite and M audio interfaces. Nothing comes close to this thing. After having a 2i2 for 8 years the switch over to the Apollo is like a third world refugee coming to America. The difference in just sound quality alone was marginally better. Speakers sounded brand new. I’m getting married to my Apollo

Loving It
This is an upgrade from the Apollo Twin, and having twice the room for plugins makes an amazing difference. I'm not having to freeze a bunch of tracks. And is it possible I have better sound in general? That's what it feels like.

Game Changer!
I’ve worked in many of the biggest studios in the world. UAD Gives me access to endless outboard that sounds the real deal! I mixed a record for the Jacksons this week and no longer feel the need to spend £1000’s mixing at massive studio like Abbey road etc.. smokes everything else for sure.

Stopped working
After a week of having this this audio all of a sudden stopped coming out and I couldn't get it to work after extensive amount of trouble shooting. Research online before you buy, it seems this is a widespread problem.

Amazing product!
One of the best investments i've made for my studio, amazing quality and very scalable if I want a bigger system in the future.

Really good for recording.
Since Arrow has too small dsp, Now I feel free to complete my console insert chains.

Ein großer Schritt in die richtige Richtung
Ich habe mir das Apollo Twin X Duo als Ersatz für meinen Yamaha Mixer gekauft. Von der Verarbeitungsqualität und dem Sound der Apollo bin ich mehr als begeistert. Einzig meinen CD-Player kann ich wohl nicht an die Apollo anschließen, aber das lässt sich noch verschmerzen.
Die Konsole von UA ist intuitiv nutzbar und die Möglichkeit die Preamps latenzfrei einzubinden ist schon klasse. Auch Luna finde ich recht gut. Ab und an habe ich zwar noch Abstürze und mit meinem Helix Native verträgt sich Luna wohl auch nicht so gut.
Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden, sowohl mit der Hardware der Apollo als auch mit den UA Plugins.

The Apollo Luna System and the Big Switch from Tape
I have always used outboard and tape to record. Scared of the shift to digital!
Apollo/Luna and my Plug Ins give me the sound and feel of my old systems but are trouble free and enable me to send my recordings to Vinyl Cutting Houses. So from England to my label in California its just a button away!

Made The Jump
As a serious musician, serious about his love and freedom of expression via the musical arts; I made the jump from the 1st generation focusrite 2i2 (purchased in 2013)
Upon downloading the software, driver updates and getting my virtual channels situated in console; I went to my iTunes library. All I can say it WOW!... there is such a large margin of sound improvement, the details captured and low noise build make my headphones (Sony MDR7506) sound brand new. And they're definitely not new lol. My monitors also sound so more clearer in terms of sonic clarity (Yamaha HS5's and the HS8 sub). For that reason alone it may be worth it. But I have always been somewhat of an audiophile since working at a car sound installation store a while back. Being amongst professionals this interface is definitely one that I see a lot and its gotten to the point of being iconic like an iPhone almost. Besides the focusrite I've used an apogee in terms of desktop interfaces that I can compare the sound too and the apollo x is undoubtedly the winner.
Let's talk UA signature plug ins with actual hardware manipulation to achieve analog emulation of vintage signature classics. Having used a real Avalon 737 pre, I couldn't help myself and bought the UA 737. I demo'd it first of course and was absolutely blown away. Now I have friends who use waves plug ins and I've seen an A/B mix comparison. I think 10/10 times UA will clearly stand out as the better of the two. No offense to those who use waves plug ins.
Last but not least I do want to say that the team behind UA is an exemplary team of professionals who really know what they are doing beyond the average consumer and I don't care if you build your own computer. I've soldered PCB's and done hardware mods myself. But in terms of analog emulation you buy an apollo and you basically have a little studio in a box. Console, aux sends, virtual channels, cue mixes like what? And the DSP feature will ensure that the load is not on your computer resulting a latency free recording with or without your vocal effects. That alone is another reason to grab this. Anyone seriously considering this should just do it now.
Once you hear quality sound you never want to hear it any other way.
Theres so much more I would like to say but the Apollo will speak for itself.

Apollo Twin X is a game changer
So expensive, but worth it. I bought mine 3 months ago and it has completely changed how I record and what I sound like. The unison preamps + channel strip plugins are fantastic, and the analog classics plugin bundle will have you off and running on day 1. Buy it, you'll be making records all day!

Not only a interface! It's a piece of art:)

Great Interface!
The Apollo Twin X is the perfect solution for a low-latency 2 channel audio interface. Not the cheapest option out there but definitely worth its cost in performance.

Simply Amazing!
I can finally mix everywhere. This little guy is so powerful and gives me all that I need. I simply carry it with me. Train, airplane, hotel... now I mix everywhere with my plugins!

Cheap Converters
I really had to return it! I am using tons of UAD Plugins, own a Octo Card and actually I ordered an Apogee Symphony Desktop first when it was announced. But since delivery times are being delayed like crazy I was thinking about trying the Apollo X Quad as a replacement. Thinking maybe I could keep it but hell no. Even my old Apogee Duet 2 converters were way better both on the AD and DA side. I am not a noob, been producing and mixing for 15yrs now and you can not fool me. I owned many converters from Burl, Crane Song, Avid, Apogee, Prism and even cheaper ones like Ssl, Rme. Only Ssl and Rme were even worse. The AD is just plastic sounding, with no depth, very 2D and the DA has some very ugly mids, stereo image is narrow af. No comparison to the Burl B2 AD or Crane Song Avocet IIA DA converters I love to work with. I mean even my old Duet 2 is better sonically. Avid, Apogee, Prism are all way above this unit. For me it is on a level like these old Avid Mbox 3 units, I tried from a friend. Absolutely not worth the price. Your better off with external UAD Card and an interface from Apogee. Sorry UA. But you f’d it up big times!!

best advantage is...
Any other way.
The best advantage is the improved converter.

Great Product. Poor Plug-In Policy.
Great piece of hardware. Unison plug-ins are brilliant. DSP is good but an Octo version would be nice. I would have loved to have given 5 stars but I'm annoyed that, as an Ultimate 8 owner, my free plug-in choice consists of any 4 from a bunch I already have. What kind of offer is that? That is not how a loyal client with multiple devices and a very expensive plug-in collection should be rewarded.
