True sonic bliss.

one word : ACCURATE.

I know, dollar is going crazy right now (I'am using Indonesia Rupiah). But THIS APOLLO 8/8P IS CRAZIER !!!

Finally, I can hear what I should hear from a converter. simply pure, solid, clean, and accurate. Thanks for made my day !

Unreliable hardware

I purchased the Apollo 8 Quad a few months ago, and recently received an email about replacing the unit due to some upgrade, so we replaced it. However, the new product came with a scratch, and I was really disappointed. UA said they would replace it again for me, so we sent it back and received another interface, but this time, it was not balanced, the bottom tilts and is not flat. I was really unsatisfied and upset, but since I had to travel overseas for a business trip, I just decided to keep this one because I didn't want to go through the trouble again. I am back now, and writing this review. Truly disappointed with UA.

Great Card

Great piece of equipment. Sounds very good and the ability to use those incredible UAD plug-ins without using your sequencer's CPU is fantastic. Very handy when writing music for screen.

Don't Hesitate

The Apollo has really helped me make some lifelong recording dreams come true (without dropping a fortune at the recording studio). I couldn't recommend this system more highly. Universal Audio also has incredible customer service and that's really important. Try getting even an email back from Avid, good luck. Yes, plugins are expensive but you get what you pay for here and then some. Do yourself and your records a favor and hop on board the Apollo train.

Upgrade from Silver Apollo to Apollo 8

I've been in pro audio for over 40 years and worked in the top studios in NYC, and as a field service engineer for Neve. I've owned a Pro Tools HDX rig with their best HD converters. I switched to the Apollo Silverface at the time due to policy changes at AVID and was very pleased with the Apollo, but the convertors weren't as good as AVID's When the Apollo 8 was released with the upgraded converters I swapped my Sliverface for the new one. After I listened to some mixes done with my old gear it was immediately apparent there was a big improvement. The sound had lost it's 'plastic' sound. The sound field was bigger, wider and I could hear deeper into the mixes. The reverb tails had more detail. It sounds as good or better than my HDX rig!

Great hardware and software

The utility software is much deeper and more functional than the Apollo Ensemble 2 interface that I previously owned.

Aptly named, will take you to space

I finally was able to upgrade my production suite, hardware and all, after 10 years of using a Digi 002 with Protools 8 LE and a 2009 Macbook pro, both of which should be commended for their valiant efforts and the many great sounding records I produced with them. The Apollo 8 duo is a gamechanger. I immediately noticed the vast difference in the converters through the monitors I have been using for ages. It is cleaner, more open and the stereo image is truer, all of which has helped me better assess the interactions between instruments and take my mixes to a whole new level. The UAD plug ins, while semi-expensive, are FANTASTIC in quality and sound. This is the perfect solution for a mid to pro grade studio to make banging records.

My First UAD Unit... And I'm Never Going Back!

For the longest time (years!) I didn't believe the UAD hype machine. Better sounding plugins? Lower latency recording? Easier to use? No way... or so I thought!

When comparing new audio interfaces, I found that the UAD hardware fit the bill at a lower price-point than similarly equipped interfaces (even when just comparing analog I/O). I decided to take the plunge and give the hardware a 30-day spin, trying out the plugins in demo mode.

I didn't even last 30 hours! It was harder for me to rearrange my rack to fit the interface in (I was moving from a desktop unit) than to get up and running with the Apollo. Minutes after turning everything on and testing out a few plugins I was making a list of ones to buy! Truly superb! Thanks UAD!

Love the upgrade

I had the previous model of Apollo Duo and to me you have a lot more headroom recording & mixing with The Apollo8.I went from the duo to the quad to take advantage of the unison technology so I can use the great sounding preamp & plugins while recording.UA you did it again keep up the good work. Also its Thunderbolt connections 8 to computer & my new Octo Satellite and new Console make the work flow a lot easier PLUS I got FREE plugins

Apollo 8 Thunderbolt 2 interface

Not a bad unit especially if you know what you are doing
and know the sound your looking for.

Awesome Piece of Equipment

Big Upgrade from my last audio card. Sounds amazing and I just love the unison technology. Alt button comes in handy all the time to A / B my mixes between two sets of speakers. A must have for anyone's setup!

Apollo 2 Thunderbolt is the shiznit

I'm a new user of the Apollo Interface and I think it works great. I love the plugins and the sleak look that it has. I use it when I'm producing in Protools and Logic, and my favorite feature is the "Real Time Processing" while recording.

A great job done by Universal Audio.

Cheers!!

Best got better

I got my first Apollo Quad few months ago. Then I got the new one, so I can have more ins and outs. Connection was incredible easy, and the Console recognize my new configuration instantly. The difference in sound is little, but is there. The original "grey" Apollo sounded so good that I couldn't imagine something new that could sound even better. But you guys did it, congrats ¡ I am more that happy, this units are fantastic, and I have plenty of DSP power to work with. Thanks a lot, great unit, great sound, and perfect SW.

More than a "chip" miff the old block

OK, apologies for the bad pun.
I had sold my original, terrific Apollo Duo thinking I was going to shut down my home operation and move my production/writing business to another, larger place. Well, circumstances changed.
So, without a front end, I decided what better way to go than to just go Apollo. This time, I chose the Apollo 8 Duo.

After a few weeks to evaluate, the differences SONICALLY are not so drastic that owners of the original should tear their hair out in anguish. That said, the improved clarity, front to back perception, and more open sound in the mid bass has made mixing and Mastering a bit easier, a GOOD thing. I really like the new features, and the new console GUI is a big improvement. Great stuff from UA!

Dream come true

Loving the Apollo 8, very glad I finally grabbed one. I spent a long time trying to decide if I really needed the Apollo - from when the Silverface first came out. I eventually grabbed a Twin about 9 months ago. Seeking more inputs and DSP power, I took the plunge on an Apollo 8. For me, this is a fantastic interface for a small studio like me. Sounds great, works great. Best thing is the ability to use it with plug-ins like the API Vision channel strip. I now feel I have access to some world class EQ and compression on the way in - something thats always been lacking in my studio. Highly recommended

Apollo 8

continued from above...Now I have some very highly accomplished engineer friends who happen to design sounds down here for some of the worlds best keyboards - they said "don't buy the Apollo 8 - its not a significant upgrade - the sound is only 2-3 Db better and you will not be able to hear it..." I bought it today - its a significant upgrade in "aural quality"!!!

Yep if you liked the original Apollo "Silverface" you will love this - good job Bill - I really appreciate you helping me out personally and taking the time - you and your company are winners!!! call me anytime in NZ - my shout would be great to meet a guyb hwo cares as much as you and personally interacts with customers..

Apollo 8 - Brilliant improvement.....rocks my studio!

Apollo 8 Upgrade

You know one day I got annoyed with Universal Audio about the customer service I was getting in New Zealand - yep - I am from "down under" so I called UA directly and they would not talk to me they wanted to do everything by email - I got really annoyed as my story would have been really an essay of quite a few pages...seeing as the International sales manager would not call me back even though I left messages I decided - as I was so frustrated to call UA head office and speak to Bill Putney Jnr.
Well within 30 minutes Bill called me back - I just left a polite message on his mobile phone - 1 hour later Mr Bill Putney had resolved all my issues - he's a really great guy! the company makes great products. I just bought the Apollo 8 !
