Apollo Twin X USB
La Apollo Twin X USB es equipo muy bien construido, se nota la experiencia y el estudio de los Ingenieros. La calidad es extraordinaria tanto para grabar o reproducir, con alto rango dinámico. Lo que no me gusto fue el trato del soporte de Universal Audio y que por momentos se cierra el UA connect, consola. Pero es una buena interfaz de gran calidad y prestaciones.

Apollo Twin, a portable audio production studio
After doing so much research on Audio Electronics, I found it useful for Audio Production purpose. We already have CPU based plugins but now a days few manufacturers are creating audio signal processors that use GPU. We already have SHARC processors that takes care of UAD plugins. But I am curious about availability of plugins that can use our unused GPU of our computer system

아폴로트윈 usb리뷰
나는 rme fireface800 유저였습니다. 마이크 프리엠프는 avalin vt737sp를 사용했구요
마이크는 u87ai를 사용했습니다. 작업실을 이동하면서 새로운 장비를 알아보다가 아폴로와
unison preamp 시스템을 알게되었고 궁금했습니다. 과연 소리가 어떨지....아폴로의 유니즌 프리의 성능은 생각보다 훨씬 좋았습니다.

Awkward Install but well worth it
I am a newbie to recording, so I was worried when I had no left channel monitoring when installed. Support took a long time to get back to me and a firmware reset solved it.
The sound quality is superb on this unit as are the UAD plugins, for my guitar based needs the Helios pre amp and pultec EQ are on all the time.

Great sound, with ease
Sold some hardware pultec and La-2a clones to get into this unit. Would say the included plugins sound almost as good and made the switch well worth. Plus I got many more plugins on top of those too! The 1176 sounds better than most hardware versions. And the unison stuff is phenomenal! Hat off.
Only downside is that it's missing optical out for expanding with more out channels. And that the Luna software is not yet supported (or even planned) for windows users.

Finally I have an Apollo that works for me.
I have a purpose built PC for recording and wanted to use Thunderbolt. I had many issues with Apollo Twin Thunderbolt (which i discovered too late was Thunderbolt 2) and Windows Thunderbolt version 4. I returned the Apollo and paid the differencre to get the Twin USB model and it worked perfectly, immedialtely. Now all i have to do is learn all the ins and outs of recording guitars and i am finding the UA 5 minute video's, very informative. Thanks :)

Review
Workflow much better than with my old focusrite before if I compare. Good quality hardware and looks good. I just was surprised in the beginning with the power supply cable, first it didn't switched on, but than I checked the cable inside the apollo and there was a hidden action to do for me, slightly turning the cable inside and then it was connected right.

Finally
Finally able to use the UAD plugins all my other artists friends have been bragging about
It would be nice if there could be a way to exceed the DSP by using the computer CPU though

Du matériel Premium
J'ai longtemps hésité - notamment à cause du prix de la gamme Appollo - mais après un mois d utilisation je suis comblé. Le son des préamplis est excellent, la technologie unison sans latence est simplement bluffante : le systeme Appollo est une révolution de mon process de tracking.
J'utilise quasi systématiquement Unison et deux aux. Ce sur ce point, j'irai même jusque à dire que le fair d avoir 2 DSP seulement m'impose de fonctionner "comme en studio" et de beaucoup "print" ce qui en soi est également un avantage en terme de productivité: plus de décisions, moins de tergiversations.
Mais la où le tableau brille peut être le plus à mes yeux, c est le sens du détail: Sorties et entrees unisson sur relais, verrou sur la fiche d alimentation, bouton rotatif aisément disposable pour nettoyage, la série à clairement été pensée et conçue par et pour des pros. La séquence de démarrage inclut un autotest rapide (et safe) grâce aux relais qui permet de rapidement juger de l'état de santé de l'appareil.
Les quelques petites choses qui me dérangent, s'il en fallait : les vumetres sont petits et mériteraient plus de barres, il manque un auto-MUTE sur les sorties MON pour éviter les feedback dangereux pour les enceintes lorsque l on patche dans le DAW, et le micro de talkback intégré de la Twin X :).
Une chose quand même me laisse un goût amer, c'est le prix prohibitif des plugins de l'ecosysteme UAD/Unisson qui me semble élevé vu le niveau de maintenance / évolutions auxquel ils sont soumis par ailleurs.
Au global, je suis très satisfait de l'objet qui est un bon technologique qualitatif pour mon studio, reste à voir si c'est financièrement soutenable sur le long terme vu le prix des plugins.

So clean, so classic
I sold my babyface pro fs and bought an apollo twin.
Working with unison completely changes the rules of the game!
Hopefully an update to vst3 will come out...
Thanks!!

Great interface for Windows users
This is my third Apollo Twins that I've purchased. Used to own the Twin Duo, sold it and bought the Twin MKII Quad. Excellent interface, but I hate using Apple products. Thought it would work with my Windows rig, but to no avail. Went with another company's high end interface (Antelope Discrete 4 Synergy Core), and it works great. But I had an opportunity to get the Twin USB and I couldn't pass it up. Works like a charm. The simplicity is second to none. Set your preamp, compressor and EQ and you're good to go! I'd tell you what my vocal chain is, but nah, find it just like I did!
My only drawback on the interface is that they only come with 2 SHARC chips. Coming from a Twin Quad and from the Antelope Discrete 4 Synergy Core, the two chips are a bit of a limiter. But there's always a workaround to everything.

Who can help me ?
As we all know, in the apollo twin x duo HE version, the dynamic range is 127db, however, in this apollo twin usb duo version, the manufacturer does not have that parameter? Can anyone give me those numbers?
I really like Twin x duo HE, but having a computer that supports the thunderbolt 3 standard is still an obstacle for me (at least until 2021).
I had to think of twin USB HE

Best Interface for the Price
The quality on this thing is impeccable! Easy controls, slick design, and great plugins to go with it. I had a Scarlett 2i4 3rd Gen. before I got the Apollo and the difference is incredibly noticeable; sounds more open and clean than the Scarlett does.
Couple things I am not too fond of with the Apollo that even my Scarlett did well.
1. The main issue I have is the gain control/allowance. If you choose the wrong input on a channel, you might seriously burst an eardrum no joke. Why is there no limiter of some sort to prevent this from happening? Also the "playback cap," if you will, aka the loudness of immediate playback, is too loud. Again, there should be some sort of resilant limiter on the Apollo and/or software with a high attack and fast release so that the level right after clicking play is not so sudden and loud. Lastly, underruns from overloading are louder and more obnoxious-sounding than they should be. None of these issues were a problem on the Scarlett.
2. Gain knob appears to have an exponential rate of adjustment, meaning as you turn the knob, the more % of an increase there is. This is in contrast to a linear rate of adjustment which keeps level adjustment at a consistent 1:1 rate.
3. Hasn't helped my CPU. I'm on an i7 processor and 16gb of RAM and was hoping this Apollo would help at least some with overruns and glitches, but it almost seems to have gotten a little worse. Not a whole lot but it definitely hasn't helped any.
4. Haven't figured out adjusting delay compensation when using UAD plugins in DAW. It sounds normal during playback, but after export there is a very noticeable delay in whatever track the plugin was placed. This is prevented me from even using any of the plugins yet. I will say, however, this could be due to ignorance and I just haven't found the answer yet. Nonetheless, more support/easier means of finding a solution to this issue should be more readily accessable.
Even with these pretty hefty issues I have with the Apollo, it's still the best of the best in terms of quality for the money. I wouldn't even think about taking it back. It just seems that the options are lacking with regards to obtaining a more individualized experience. All this being said, you still won't regret the purchase. It's becoming an industry standard!

Windows USB Apollo Twin
Works great (so far). A lot of folks seemed to have problems with Windows USB and UAD. As for my experience,. I had a relatively hassle free setup and the unit operates as advertised. I bought mine refurbished, note to othjers, do not follow standard install path if you buy refurbbished, make sure you install via the 'used device' path even if it is factory refreshed. I write that for the reviewer that may want to give it another try when they pull it from the closet.

Great Sound with a few minor problems
First and foremost, the sound is great. No problems with the quality of the build, the interface, and ease of use. My minor problems are with the software and/or drivers. I went from having zero problems on my Windows 10 PC and existing audio interface, to having multiple and intermittent software issues requiring reboots, resets, and reinstalls of the software. It will just randomly stop working sometimes. I can always stop my session and troubleshoot the problem, but I miss the old days where my audio interface just worked. I'm still giving it 4 stars for the quality of the sound and fantastic hardware but not 5 because of the software issues I've experienced versus other audio interfaces.

UNISONには驚いた。
入力の音質もヘッドホンアンプもSTEINBERGの物とは別次元だった。素晴らしいツールだ。UADもUNISONが効いているのかWAVESのものより数段クオリティが高く感じた。

I found it little bit hard to handle the software since I couldn’t found how to run the UAD application for the recording because I didn’t find a way to run it manually and it didn’t run by it self automatically (I don’t know what the name of it .. but it’s the application from UAD ) so I tried the pro tools and it’s worked with it . but I still want to try your application

Faire attention
Qualités au rendez-vous, seule inconvénient c'est qu'il faut ajouter à votre Appollo un satellite pour pouvoir exploiter 4 où 5 vst pour composer et mixer un titre problème de DSP c'est vraiment dommage

Works well, included plugins are nice. Needed customer support on a plugin I purchased and response was very fast. 5 stars if the cost was less.
