Apollo Twin USB is an OUTSTANDING interface
I have been dabbling in the voiceover world for a little bit but could never get my recordings to be just right. Frankly, I did not know what “just right” even meant as I had to battle my equipment. Recently with some great feedback, I learned that my old interface that I bought used (Steinberg UR22) was slowly dying (evident with the ever growing hiss that “could be” partially edited out in my DAW). Note-post editing should be simple and not for correcting things that should not be in a recording in the first place. Realizing that it was time to up my game, I headed to my local Guitar Center and headed home with the Apollo Twin USB. All I can really say is I have no clue why I did not upgrade earlier. Actually, I am VERY thankful that I learned all kinds of things with my Steinberg UR22 as there were only a few gadgets to play with allowing me to learn the basics. Moving into the Apollo Twin was a HUGE leap as there are more lights, bells, and whistles than one can imagine. Yes, this could be a GREAT first interface but a person may not truly understand what a gift this interface really is. Then again, if this is your first interface plan on having it for a VERY long time. There are MANY and I say MANY UADs that you can purchase in addition to the ones that come free with the unit itself. Each of the UADs have presets that you can use or you can set the levels all by yourself. There really is no limit to what you can do with the Apollo Twin USB. Universal Audio has a GREAT support staff and forum to join. There are all kinds of Youtube videos and the manuals are GREAT. There is even a manual (http://media.uaudio.com/support/downloads/UAD_Plug-Ins_Manual_v90.pdf) for the UADs and it is not just a list as it is literally an explanation of what each UAD does. Copied from a website “With its onboard UAD-2 DUO Core processing, Apollo Twin USB lets you record your music in real time (at near-zero latency) through the full range of UAD plug-ins ” from Neve, Studer, Manley, Marshall, Lexicon, API, and more* ” putting racks of vintage EQs, compressors, mic preamps, tape machines, reverbs, and guitar amps at your fingertips.” If you are wondering if this will meet your needs, I would be hard pressed to find a person that would not find this to be “the” interface. Yes, it comes at a price but you have to ask yourself what your time really is worth. Time is money, retakes cost time, and post editing costs time. You get to play with UADs that are nearly perfect emulations of the actual hardware. I seriously have a GREATER appreciation for what goes into making music. In short, I have NO complaints about this purchase as my voiceover recordings are incredible not to mention fun to do once again.

Simplement magnifique
Cette interface audio est excellente. Elle m'a apporté une qualité professionnelle à mes enregistrements de saxophone. De plus, les plugins qui sont livré gratuitement lors de l'achat sont d'une qualité irréprochable. Merci, Universal Audio!

Great for Sound creation
UAD apollo is worth all its weight and gold. when it comes to sound design UAD Apollo make it easy to find the sound your looking for. I definitely recommend this product to those producers looking to create their own unique kits.

Just wow
This device is the best what's happened to me. Its like someone took away a blanket from my monitors. Everything is much cleaner and more precise. USB drivers work like a charm. No problems with pro tools 12. Cheers.

des teil macht die stimme lebendig
ich arbeite schon 2-3 monate damit, bin sehr zufrieden damit was mich nur stört. Wenn ich zum beispiel ein internet browser auf mache es hängen bleibt oder knistern tut beim video schauen von youtube. Ansonsten benutzt ich es für aufnahme beim pro tools, ich muss sagen wer richtig ins benuiss einsteigen will soll sich ein uni holen. Ist zwar teuer aber die leistung und das end ergebniss ist klasse.

Does not deliver - Sounds like a scratchy vinyl record. Needs better drivers
Went for the hype and it did not deliver on the promises. I thought UA was supposed to know what they're doing in this area. Apparently when it comes to Windows drivers, as the driver sucks big time with bad latency and crackles and pops and clicks. I've heard popcorn sound better. Come on guys you can do better that this. I spent a lot of money on the the box and the plugins not to have it sound like something come out of a turntable. Please...get your act together. I can't recommend this USB interface to anyone. Perhaps the Thunderbolt ones are better??? Still waiting for a response for their support techs, do they have any support????

Pile of Junk!
For over a year now i have had this thing and it does not work and UA and sweetwater have never ever provided a half as attempt to solving the problem. Sounds like a dying robot no matter what i do. UA also refused to replace my item during the warranty period after several emails asking for such.

Under Powered, Under Featured, & Overpriced
Unfortunately, I had 'some' expectations for this device, but the Duo is grossly underpowered - adding a more that 2 plug-ins can seriously affect & even halt it performance. This aggravated by the fact that it lacks the standard I/O features for its price-point
It has limited but mostly adequate I/O for basic guitar tracking, but lack of:
* Processing power (where's the Octo version?)
* No Optical Out (I had to get BLA mod for that)
* Stereo Input (Yes, Stereo guitar pedals have been around for some time)
* Monitor A & Monitor B (A/B or both) outputs for 2 sets of monitoring
* 2 Headphone outs (because why should the performer & I listen at the same time :-) )
... the examples above makes this device a bit of a toy really & is no good for the semi-advancing home studio owner who wants good quality, feature rich gear.
I only uses this because I paid for it, but it is just an interface now - my apogee quartet was a better investment & does everything this should.
I will be very keen to see the abovementioned spec's in the Apollo Twin Octo's :-)
I’ll fly in to buying on of those for sure! Otherwise, stay away from this pancake.
FYI: the Quad is barely any better from my current workings with it...
Sorry, this is a very expensive investment for the limited capabilities & performance that it has, or lacks.

Best sound quailty...
M. ekholm
great sound
great sounding soundcard but the uad card kinda useless. 2 610 is what you can use at the same time..

Avoid, too many problems.
As other reviewers said, problems with AMD, pops and crackles coming from god knows where, terrible driver performance, slow updates. Right now the front panel buttons of my interface don't respond, and there's no solution given anywhere.
Avoid buying it, and mostly avoid buying plugins or you'll be chained to UAD. Yeah, they're great sounding, nope it's not worth the hassle.

Not suitable for stabile working environment.
Sadly this device since day one does freeze if computer gets heavy loaded.
Easy way to cause crash/freeze simply run Vienna Mir and few VSTs, also something which would load CPU of your machine heavy enough. Usually when this happens the Apollo will generate insane loud noise which will damage all your production if you are in recording.It does shock heavily by this sound if you are editing something or listening to mixes. Imagine... you work on a heavy orchestrated piece where you got pianissimo and suddenly through your headphones or speakers you will suddenly hear loud electrical noise when device freezes. I am forced to reboot the device at least 30-60 times a day. I don't even waste my time for support anymore. I simply reboot it.
Time is money - and this is too expensive device to have such problems.
