Sehr gelungenes Produkt insbesondere auch zum Aufnehmen von Gitarren
Ich verwende das Apollo Solo bisher fast ausschließlich zum Aufnehmen von Gitarrenspuren, welche dann in einem Tonstudio weiterbearbeitet werden; das spart mit als Hobby-Gitarristen das Einspielen im Studio und den damit verbundenen Zeitdruck. Mit den phantastischen Plugins (verwende vor allem die Simulationen der Amps von Fuchs - hervorragend geeignet für meine Fender Strat - und Marshall) macht bereits das Einspielen zu Hause richtig Spaß; mit einem sehr guten Studiokopfhörer hat man das Gefühl, vor einem echten Röhrenamp zu sitzen und diesen in ordentlicher Lautstärke zu spielen. Hätte nicht für möglich gehalten, dass der Klang dermaßen realistisch ist. Wenn man dann noch ein wenig mit anderen Plugins herumprobiert (ich schätze vor alle die Oxide Tape-Simulation sehr), dann klingt das wirklich so, wie ich es aus der "analogen Zeit", in der ich begonnen habe, Musik auf Band aufzunehmen, kenne. Und macht auch genauso viel Spaß wie damals, da das Feeling passt. Für diesen Verwendungszweck kann ich das Apollo Solo sehr empfehlen. Mit Überlastung des Prozessors hatte ich noch kaum Probleme; zahlreiche Plugins zugleich werden für einen einzigen DSP sicher zu viel sein, aber das wusste ich ja beim Kauf; sollte mir die Leistungsfähigkeit auf längere Sicht nicht reichen, werde ich mir eine Erweiterung oder ein größeres Apollo-Interface gönnen - im Augenblick bin ich mit meinem aber sehr zufrieden. Übrigens auch mit Leistung und Sound des eingebauten Kopfhörerpreamps, welcher etliches besser ist als jener meines früher verwendeten (auch durchaus hochwertigen) Interfaces. Fazit: Apollo Solo ist für mich ein sehr erfreuliches Produkt.

I could only dream of this staring out.
I've recorded music for a long time. Never have I've been able to get so close to the classic gear I've used in the past. It zings along on my M1. Bravo UA!

Yea, no. This product is trash. Save your money. Get an x .

Great piece of hardware
As with every UAD device the sound and build quality are great, but what you're really paying for is the zero latency monitoring and access to the UAD plug-in library (when you track guitar through the amp emulations it's like you're hearing the guitar in your hand). But with very limited DSP on this device don't expect to mix a session with it. It will work great for recording through the unison pre-amps and maybe a couple other plug-ins. I would recommend committing to compression/eq as I was only able to run 1-3 plug-ins at a time. Overall a great device and a good first step into the UAD world for an artist of any experience level.

Very satisfied
Hi! I'm a new user of Apollo Solo. I bought it one week ago. I had problems to install it because the Apple M1 chip needs a special attention to install new things , then after installed I had to learn how to use the UA Console and Control Panel. Now everything is working perfectly! I'm a new user so I think there will be many other things to learn, but this new beginning is fantastic !

Very good , hi quality piece of gear
Very good, flexible with good sound.plug ‘n plsy emwithout any problem.
When it used at 96khz it’s almost unpossible to me to run when tracking without exceeedind dsp capacity using just a channel strip and a reverb. So, one dsp more would make it perfect

Really solid piece of hardware
This is my first Universal Audio device, and it feel really good quality piece of hardware. The size is smaller than I thought, and that's a good thing cause it's even easier to fit in the bag when needed. Haven't really recorded anything with it yet, but the drivers and the Luna software have been working flawlessly. I don't have to worry about the gear and can focus the main thing. Just as I was hoping to. I can recommend thunderbolt Solo+mac mini combo with no hesitation!

Preamps, Usability and Headphone Amp: AAA+
Coming from a Antelope Audio Zen Go which Is already a pro device I was surprised how much better the Apollo Solo is. Preamps are cleaner, usability is way higher and the headphone output is the best I’ve ever heard. Especially with studio headphones (Beyerdynamic 770 pro in my case). It’s a pretty expensive business but once you’ve experienced it you won’t regret it…

Poor Quality
Unreliable for six months, and then it completely died.

Great gear
It's such an awesome sounding product. The bundle included is really versatile and the sound quality of their plugins is hands down the best on the market.

A BEGINNERS MUST HAVE INTERFACE
I would like everyone thats new to Starting a Home recording Studio to check out this Amazing Interface ! Hands down its your best move now to buy ! See, if you buy other interfaces & spend lots of money it would be cheaper to get the Apollo Solo Now . Plus you get Luna Daw free 7 & Lots of UAD Plugins !

Hardware top, Win driver bad
Advantages
- Very good workmanship
- top audio quality in DAW with ASIO drivers
- first class plugins
Disadvantages
- not usable for applications like Discord, Skype, OBS etc. which use the standard WDM window driver for the microphone - very poor microphone quality
- only standard format WDM window driver only 2ch, 32bit 48000 Hz studio quality - nothing else selectable
- installation of drivers worked only after I installed UAD version 9 and then version 10
- not recommended for streaming on a Windows computer

Great interface
The solo is a great sounding interface and a nice way into the UA plug-in universe. The included plug-ins are very high quality and the unison function turns the solo into a great sounding and versatile preamp. The included software console and the Luna DAW are very well done, It’s a winning combination!

Great small interface
I have no issues at all and I am surprised of how many plugins I can load on that one DSP without crashing it. Even heavy ones like the Ampex emulation plus many more.
The Heritage bundle is excellent and the sound quality is outstanding.
Works fine with my M1 Pro.

Work with M1 max
Work good with new Macbook.

From 2007 Firewire Duet... to Apollo Solo Thunderbolt 3
Stunning stuff. NO LATENCY. Liberates DAW from overloads and allows very high buffer in audio engine. Extremely "musical", amazingly tolerant: cranking it up does not hurt sound. Plug-ins are transparent and tender. No mysteries here... just magic.

Great interface
Been floored about its features and the sound that I’m getting out of it. The plugins sound great. I just hate the amount of DSP power that it has as I feel that it’s lacking, but I knew that going in. A good value nonetheless.

Not good for Macbook M1...returning it back!
Not fully compatible and very unreliable.
It was hard to set it up with some workarounds. Returning it back.
