wonderful! except the knob.
Everything is perfect. Except the knob lol. Main control knob is too light... i cannot control it easily. but except that, all things are nice, such as converter, or sound quality, and some plugins too.

Apollo Twin x cumple todos tus sueños
Con Apollo Twin x, he logrado subir muchos niveles de un solo salto, mis sueñosa nivel pro, se van cumpliendo increiblemente. Gracias a su alta calidad en su preamp. Unison, y su plataforma super amigable.

Apollo Twin X? More like quadruplets…
I can’t believe how much punch this packs in such a small unit. Has so much more DSP than I expected - could easily run 8 instances at once (varies based on plugin %), but my biggest + is printing delicious tones from the Unison preamp. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make the UA plunge.

Expensive Interface Lacks QC
I purchased this unit for my home studio as a replacement upgrade to my Scarlet Focusrite USB interface. Upon closer inspection to the new interface, there was no connecting cable to my Mac Mini. I feel that the price point of this unit requires AUD to provide a standard cable(s) for connecting this unit, due to the lack of product knowledge from the Guitar Center Staff. Some things are not as intuitive to some as they are for others.

High value for money
Delighted with this product, especially appreciating the included free plugins.

Apollo Twin X Quad REVIEW
Let me say right off the bat, I absolutly love the Apollo Twin X It's just class all the way around.
Pro's
The sound is awesome.
The size and convience of having it at your hand on the desktop is just so great.
The mic -pres sound excellent and crisp.
Ease of use. Simple to understand.
Console software is a great concept and not hard to understand.
The whoule concept is basically giving you a analog console to configure anyway you want and it's very powerful
Thw give you a hug e bundle of amazing plug-ins with your purchase.
CON's
My biggest complaints are as follows.
1: The Aplool unit itself gets way to hot to the touch and does so withing a short period of being switched on. I initially thought something was wrong with my unit.
2: For a price tag of $1500.00 I can't understand why there isn't a 2nd headphone jack. That's ridicouls for a unit this pricy/
3: Having just 2 mic pres is great an all but I think 4 inputs should be a min without having to go up to the next level for $2000 which is what I intend to do this week. Return this Twin and get the X 4 version. I don't want to be pluging stuff in and out all the time.
But let me say this, the whole UA Apollo recording system is simply the best. You can't go worng regardless of whicjh interface you buy.

New to the Apollo universe
I’m new to the UAD world, and this is just a first impression . I have seen so many comments and reviews I had to add it to my experience. There are some things I wish for that don’t seem to be here, but my first impression is wow. I’ll check back when I have more experience with the UAD universe, but after a few weeks, I am impressed

A melhor interface que usei na minha vida! Sistema maravilhoso, som ótimo e excelente acabamento!

Nice little thing!
Bought it mainly to expand my adat-capabilities in conjunction with my Apollo x8. Works great! My studio is now everything I need for creating great sounding music.

Amazing! Crystal clear sound is just the beginning!
I've had a couple cheaper interfaces and sims, that also claim to be the best. So was not sure if I was throwing money away on UAD and Apollo. But my music just didn't sound good at all. I was "this close" to resigning myself that all amp sims and modeling was a joke, and we all were the suckers of amp sim companies and youtubers who get paid to review garbage as "great". So in one last effort to make my music sound good, I took the plunge and bought the Apollo system. WOW! Night and day! It's not just about the "low latency" that all youtubers talk about. it's the sound quality of the modeling simulations, preamps, and that Unison is out of this world!!! My guitars and bass are now cyrstal clear and vibrant, and realistic! Not muddy and saturated and compressed and fake, like all other sims and interfaces. I'm still a newby to this set up, so lots to learn, but the difference between the UAD system and others in just night and day! I'm having to redo my songs, but it's worth it, as the sound I'm able to achieve on this is on another level from Amplitube and cheaper interfaces!!
Thanks UAD!!!!

I hate everything but the sound
It's hard to get started. Everything is complicated compared to other interfaces. The registration process is nerve racking.....and sometimes doesn't work. The thing gets pretty hot, though I was expecting that from having read various reviews. Still. I can't use my Izotope mouth click software in Luna. Just mutes the whole track. No idea why. Console doesn't make a lot of sense at first. Using it with Logic Pro X, you have to always make sure you're on the track you think you're on. Just one more layer of complicated. I WAS able to figure out some of the send/aux possibilities, though I really wonder who needs so many routing options. Basically, the thing drove me nuts. And then I got it to work. Unison 1073 and SSL channel strip (for the gate/expander), and my voice sounds smooth as silk. Way better than my MOTU M2. Way way better than my Focusrite 2i2. Better than my RME Babyface. Just silky. And now I'm thinking about getting an Apollo Solo USB for my Windows computer. Just for tracking.

Great Audio interface !!!
Attracted by the summer plugins offer on Apollo purchase , I bought it with a lot of doubts.
I run a PC under win 11 with native Thunderbird 3 ; so OK on the paper but , I have had a bad experience a few month ago with the USB Apollo on PC that I finally gave back ( obligation to run the same frequencies and resolution under windows and the DAW ; and "patch-up Job" in Windows USB supply parameters ).
So I was cautious with the Thunderbird Apollo Twin X ....
But finally ,although the numerous issues with thunderbird 3 connections read on forums ; it instantly recognized the interface for me , I'm running a real THBD 3 motherboard (Gigabyte Z390 Designare ) not an added slot card...
And W11 Drivers have been updated so that there are no more frequencies / resolution issues , we can work the way we want either under windows and the DAW , instantly switching to another application ( just with the " liberate asio driver in background" checked option in the DAW (Cubase for me ) .
The card works perfectly ; a great sound and a clear and intuitive console.
Besides this is a very well thought and ergonomic Desktop interface.
The plugins are great and sounds really fantastic ( Manley Voxbox miam ! ) even if I recently purchase the card and do not have had enough time to dive deep inside for the moment , but my ears love !
I have fallen under the charm of this interface.

THE BEST AUDIO INTERFACE I GOT
The best Audio Interface I have never bought.
A big thank you to Universal Audio for its work on this product. I use to record my Piano, my Guitar and my Voice to compose music. The Apollo preamp are just amazing.
I had this interface with some plugins that I love too. Now, I really understand what means « low latency » now. There is no latency when I play a solo or something speed !
I really recommend this kind of product for home-procuders.
Thank you again for all Universal Audio team,
No regret at all.
