Universal Audio Apollo Solo Heritage Edition, APLS-HE

This is wonderful, very easy to install on my MacBook air. Real-time sound and the highest quality. This is the thunder, remember to buy it with a thumderburt 4 cable without that cable it doesn't work

This interface is amazing, small , real good sound , latency zero, great plugins that you can add at the recording moment directly on interface

All around quality mobile interface.

Goated piece of equipment

I bought this interface to use for podcasting, YouTube videos and music. It works well, but it is clearly geared more towards audio professionals and enthusiasts. If you're not accustomed to audio production and technology, this might be a little much to take on depending on your willingness to learn more than a handful about audio production. For me, this interface's accompanying software/plug-ins were a huge learning curve. I was willing to learn, but I quickly realized how much overkill this software was for my production needs. The plug-ins are an extra cost, except for the few that come with it. After a few days of tinkering with the Apollo Solo, I realized how much stuff it could do that I didn't need, as well as things it couldn't do that I did need. Overall, I had a mixed experience with the Apollo Solo. I use a Dell XPS 15 running Windows 10 64-bit and even used a 64-bit DAW and still couldn't get this thing to record without static. I use a Shure sm7b with a cloudlifter. The audio sounded okay in the console, but sounded terrible in the DAW. Everything else worked fine, the things you can do with this interface are pretty cool. The build quality is optimal, and it feels premium. But for $700, I could save $100 and just get the Rodecaster Pro, which will have more inputs and features I can actually use in my workflow, as well as being more beginner friendly. That's what I plan on doing. If you're debating on buying this, I would warn you that I wouldn't consider the Apollo beginner friendly. But that's just my opinion. If you're a beginner, I'd suggest either looking elsewhere or preparing to learn a lot before you can get solid results.

Best thing I could have gotten to kick my vocal recordings up in quality. And LUNA , the free DAW you get with it is my favorite . I've been a Pro Tools ,Studio One guy for a long time working with a Focusrite Clarett. The DSP plug ins included smoke the waves versions I have in my opinion. You have to get use to how to delegate DSP power. But for a guy like me tracking one thing at a time it's no problem. And later in post I use the freeze track option to work one track at time so I have plenty of DSP in post also. I've been using it now over a year and I've gotten pretty good with it. I go back and compare vocal sounds from before and they're almost comical in comparison. If your series about your recording sound get one. My was refurbished and was like new . No problems or defects of any kind. Since then I have bought 3 more Amazon refurbished items and every time they have been just like brand new.

La calidad de UAD es buenísima, superó mis expectativa. La caja venía un poco golpeada supongo por el viaje pero la interfaz veía muy bien!

The software is a nightmare to install, UA doesn’t open at all, just spins around, as of this reason I am not able to install the console. I cleared everything out, literally wiped from the pref and application support all the remaining parts. I installed again, it’s the same thing. And I am suffering already the 3rd day. I got it on 17th, not it’s 20th and this didn’t figure out how this **** works. Overall I will just return it, as to be honest it’s not worth the hassle.

This is excellent in every way. Setup was a hair complicates but for most with a brain it'll be easy to get done. Sound quality much better than things like Scarlett ect. Highly recommended. The included UAD plug-ins are fantastic, works with my m1 Mac like a dream. Anyone who know's what their doing will like this, anyone who's not ready for it will probably complain. Not a fresh beginners interface.

I will not write what everyone already knows. UAD plugins are awesome! The only problem with this device is very limited processing power. If you need only for monitoring while tracking: unison preamp (not neve) + legacy compressor ( one that is not full emulation ) + autotune, you are at 80% of the processing limit. Maybe you can add some lightweight reverb on top. So many trade-offs have to be made. If you do not need autotune you can use one good compressor. Twin Duo is go to have DSP to build usefull vocal signal chain. UAD is very adictive so keep in mind that you will want to spend additional 400e in the first 30 days to use 50% discount on the custom 3 plugin package to buy goodies like 1073, CL1B etc. Also do not forget to get referral invitation BEFORE you create UAD account to get 1 free plugin. If you do not know noone to send you referral invite search reddit and someone will help you. Soon you will start saving money for octo satellite because you will want to put this amazing plugins on everything!

Todo excelente!
