The only nit picks I have are, I wish it didn't need a separate power cable, having to take two spots on my macbook pro is rough. Haven't gotten too much out of the vintage knob /button myself yet but will be playing with that more. The build quality is top notch, feels built to last like a real nice studio piece. The pres are nice and clean, whether you're direct instrument in or through XLR and a mic.
Haven't tried vocals yet but I'm sure it'll do well there too. Makes me have very little I need to do to bass or guitar dynamics wise. The 1176 that's built into it is really quite killer. The holiday sale that included the plate reverb, a drawmer plugin, and the LA2A really sealed the deal for me (a bunch of other stuff too but those stood out the most to me). Between the looks and the idea of an 1176-ish built into my interface I was tempted. I'll admit half the reason I replaced my presonus audio box with this was the general vibe. Now I get to shop for some new plug-ins, but I may wait until a good sale happens and I can get more bang for the buck.Perfect home studio interface, don't sleep on the built in 1176!
One nice surprise, I instantly got a $647 credit in plug-in vouchers since I already own all of the promo plug-ins.
The install software guided me through each step from doing a firmware update to registering the hardware on the UA website. SPlat is working quite nicely and as expected too! Now I do have a finely tuned and optimized DAW, so I was not surprised my Apollo Twin USB was pretty much plug and play right out of the box. Also, I really like the new Apollo Console 2.0 on Windows. Unlike the UAD FW devices, there is no added 512 sample plug-in buffer added and LiveTrack mode is still available, if needed. I was quite pleased that both of my existing two UAD-2 PCIe cards were also recognized and all of my available DSP (7 total SHARCS) is pooled and utilized into one cohesive UAD ecosystem. The Twin USB has a specific software version (v8.5.2) that only works with it. I must say I am quite impressed with the performance. I installed my Apollo Twin USB on my Win 10 Pro 圆4 DAW over the weekend using one on the USB 3.0 "Superspeed" ports.
