Excellent Upgrade from Apollo Twin X Gen 1
submitted2 months ago
byRoss
fromSan Fernando Valley, CA
I've been using UA Apollo since 2019, starting with the Apollo Twin Duo, then Apollo Twin X Duo, and now the Apollo Twin X Quad Gen 2. I've always been happy with the sound quality and rock-solid reliability, but frustrated with the lack of memory for loading plugins with the Duo versions. The Quad version only helps with this to a certain extent, but since UA have issued important Native versions of their plugins, this is not a major issue for me any more, especially since I don't mix with the UAD (chip-based) plugins whatsoever. I only use them during the recording phase, whether in record or monitor-only mode. I use a few of the native versions regularly for mixing. The advantages with the Gen 2 are firstly the better D/A sound quality, esp. with the improved headphone output, as I use headphones quite a bit for tracking and mixing in my home studio. I noticed this immediately. The ability to completely bypass the preamp (10dB) in line input when using my external microphone preamp is the second most important issue to me. I at least *think* I hear the difference, though with the improved D/A, it's impossible to say that anything sound-wise has changed from this modification but, psychology, it feels better, lol. I've had several systems over the years, including RME, Digidesign/Avid, and Apogee ADDA-16 converters (not the Symphony), and this one sounds at least as good to me as those older, more expensive systems. I do recommend getting a high-quality external preamp (I use the Great River MP-2NV) if possible -- but it is by no means required to get a good, pro-level sound with this unit. IMO, it just improves the "punch" somewhat.
My Home Studio Just Got a Major Upgrade!

Been using a Focusrite Scarlett for the last 5 years. Was satisfied except for recording acoustic guitars. Could never get a satisfactory recorded tone with my Taylor 814 without tons of EQ and other processing. Now getting good tones with zero EQ. Very happy!
