Apollo Solo USB Heritage Edition

Excelente producto lo recomiendo

I returned the first one because it takes UAD at least 1 business day to reply. Plus, what's so frustrating is I'm following their instructions to the letter; and I researched the install procedures and guidelines BEFORE I purchased the Apollo (and the Volt). At first, the Apollo would not work via USB; I tried two Intel certified cables and returned it after speaking with tech support. Then, frustrated, I returned the first Apollo and purchased a UAD Volt; this time the UAD Software would not recognize the Volt no matter what cable I used. I returned that and purchased a Scarlett Solo that WORKED out the box. Determined to make this work, I purchased a UAD Apollo again! Wow! This is so frustrating! I purchased new USB-C Cables through Anker and Belkin that support high speed USB 3.0 and more. The Belkin cable is Thunderbolt 4 certified as well! The Apollo was not recognized by Windows 11. Yes, I did a clean install of Windows! I wanted to break the Apollo! I'm serious! Terrible experience! I then tried the Anker USB-C to USB-A cables; that worked as far as installing the software. After I rebooted the computer the UAD Console software launched. BUT WINDOWS would not recognize the Apollo. The Console software would not recognize the Apollo. I kept getting USB errors from UAD software. I then tried two other confirmed USB-C to USB-A cables. Still did not work! To recap, at this point, I used the Anker USB-C to USB-A cables to install the software; for some reason, that worked— it's as if there was a partial recognition of the Apollo. Then I had this crazy idea...."Why don't you try the Belkin USB-C to USB-C cable (Thunderbolt 4) again." I plugged the cable in a 5th time....and it WORKED! WOW!!!!!! What the hay man!? When this thing (Apollo) actually works.... it's beautiful. It was worth the frustration to get it to work. It's sad that a company that makes a product this good can't get it to install properly and their support takes ONE BUSINESS DAY to reply. Hope this helps someone.

Exelent quality vibrant sound, price wise is right theres, the software include a couple of needed plugins Sturdy easy to connect and start

Buen producto, es para Mac

I love the reviews that it's "Mac Only". Wow, if it's that bad on Windows, and we can't even get it to work on current versions of Mac OS's, what is this expensive device for? People with 3 year old Mac's only? I used to really love my UAD audio interfaces... but as a diehard Mac user and music producer, I want to be using Apple's latest operating systems, or at least a recent one. Unfortunately, UAD wins the world record, year after year, for literally being the LAST to every support a Mac OS. It used to be Native Instruments was the one behind, but now it's UAD. For example, it's now April 2022, Mac Monterrey has been in full release for almost 6 months (beta for much longer), and UAD still doesn't support it. Vague "no information available" posts on their site and tech support about when they WILL support it. And they just barely half-heartedly started supporting Big Sur, putting us about 2 OS's behind for Apple OS's. Even when they claim they are finally supporting an OS, their drivers are plagued with issues, locking up the OS when you try to go into their dashboard... in short, it's frustrating. Apple has had M1 computers out for over a year, and now if you want to buy a new Mac, like the amazing new Studio, it's only going to come with Monterrey and you can't downgrade. That means you're constantly unable to use your $1000+ audio interfaces from UAD. I've given up, and so has about 12 or more remixers and producers I work with in a group, and we've all gotten Apogee Symphony or other cards. Imagine our surprise when even super cheap Prosonus or MOTU cards work when UAD doesn't. What are we paying for UAD? To always be behind? Putting our UAD interfaces on Ebay and standardizing on Apogee. It was a nice run, but they either don't have the manpower or care to keep their interfaces working with new OS's.

Previously I own 2 audio interfaces but I never felt this good, Now I am worried that, why I wasted those bucks for those interfaces without spending those bucks in one, for Apollo Solo. From the start you can feel the clarity of the sound. Wow. Yaaaah!!!!!, I know some says installation is big pain, but if you follow instructions correctly and if you purchase the correct SuperSpeed Cable (3.0 or Above), It will work. The USB cable worked for me as below. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CO3F9TW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

The product feels and sounds solid. The thing that no video mentions or at least fails to mention is the lack of a USB C 3.1+ cable. This doesn’t not come included. Now if you’re upgrading from a Scarlett solo, that cable will not work as that one is a 2.0 cable, and will not be fast enough. Also this device gets warm pretty fast. It’s not a problem if you’re in an AC room but I recommend finding a solution to have some proper airflow in mind or just power it off when not in use. IF YOU USE DISCORD/VOIP services, this device does not natively support those and UA states they don’t plan to add any support as this is “for professional use only” there are 3rd party apps that help with this but it does add latency. But overall you’re getting what seems to be a solidly built product with the lack of “everyday” use with some iLok management required. This price is pretty steep and if anything do your research. Hope this helps someone

Amazing piece of work!! Zero latency in audio recording

The Unison mic preamps give my tracks a warmth and character that I could never achieve with standard digital interfaces. If you want the "big studio" sound in a laptop bag, this is the only way to go

L'appareille est sûrement bien mais très déçu déçu de voir que le câble pour le brancher au pc n'est pas fournie ...

Also das Ding ist Qualität keine Frage aber für diesen Preis nichtmal ein USB-C oder ein USB 3.0 dabei und das finde ich eine unglaublich Frechheit 🤯 wirklich ohne Worte ! Bei dem Preis sollten auch Kabel dabei sein die man nicht verwendet aber der USB ist ein Muss. Punkt Wenn für alles Kabel dabei gewesen wäre gerne 5 Full Sterne und eine Bewertung vom Feinsten. Aber so leider nicht, so gibt es 4 Sterne und so eine Bewertung. Sonst alles perfekt gerät ist nagelneu so wie es aussieht. Software Top, auch die Heritage Edition richtig Top 🔝 Jedemenge Plugins, ich hatte bereits UAD Signature bundle. Deshalb konnte ich noch 8 Plugins so auswählen, zu den die so wieso inklusive sind. Das DSP erlaube teilweise nur ein Plugin, also nicht alle Plugins laufen dann auf DSP. Aber die Precision Plugins sind sehr heftig, denn diese kriegt man alle zusammen in die DSP geladen. Sonst ist es so, wieviel das Plugin brauch im DSP kann man 1 bis einige Plugins laden.

These have my most favourite sound for playback and digital editing a like. Previously Universal desktop units were known to run hot to the touch but these modern units run warm.

Excelente producto. No tuve ningún problema
