Device is pretty to look at and feels like a solid brick of quality through and through. The thing i enjoy the most about it is actually the DSP part. The plugins sound way better than those i have tried from other companies emulating hardware. As goes for the GUI. One thing i discovered is that its very beneficial to create a separate folder in your DAW with the Universal Audio Plugins that you have actually purchased. Because even the demo versions of the plugins you have not purchased of their entire library will show up in your list over AUs/VSTs if you do not seperate them from each other. This might just be me, but i found it to be very distracting while getting to know what everything does when i first bought it.

Clumsy external power supply is another minus on an otherwise very portable device. I bought it for its quality but i keep it for the plugins which i have come to make a cornerstone of my productions. If it were not for them i would probably go for an interface with more I/O and/or firewire/usb/thunderbolt power supply.

When reading this, one thing should be remembered: the outboard equipment i use is mainly digital, i do not use a lot of microphones so chances are i am not the typical target group for the Apollo Twin.

I love the Channel Strip Plug Ins! It was a little hard to learn how to use if your old school IMHO!

Had since 2014 but just really started using it because of their new Luna DAW (which they say isn't a DAW) I'm a songwriter and the console and Logic Pro was just a little too tricky for me to ever get a good sound but with Luna it rocks.

great build, great features, best physical preamps of the whole "home studio recording bunch", UAD plugins are heaven sent, the ones bundled are above average, but the ones you buy are unique and one of kind, they are expensive though, but the ease of using this and recording, mixing is unprecedented.

Never buy the single core though, either this or the quad, as some of the best plugins are heavy on the DSP, and sometimes you will only be able to use two only at a time, which in most cases will be pre-amp and amp model, but combined with a good DAW, you can add whatever you need in there, and share the load between your PC CPU and the Apollo DSP, which works on so many levels, to give studio quality recording and absolutely stunning tones (marshal blues breaker 1962 is the best digital emulation of a tube amp i have heard. period)

My beats are hard or short then the artists are rappers and singers will hear them after the music studio with a music engineer Dan "DFS" Johnson for recording.

It does everything I need, and more which is great, but I just don't love it. It seems slightly over-hyped. The UAD plugins are amazing and all, however, I hate being tethered down to a piece of hardware to use my plugins when I travel. It sounds really good, and has awesome conversion, and Preamps, but I feel like It's just not the interface for me when all is said and done.

Got this interface since begin 2015 and it's truly amazing, the plugins that come with it and the overall performance is perfect. The da/ad converters are unlike any other interface i've tried before! This is one you should try out for sure!!

I had a rack mount Rosetta 800 in my studio but when I moved out and downsized to a home rig I made the mistake of buying an Apogee Duet believing the reviewers that state they sound just like all Apogee gear. They don't. The Apollo however DOES sound like UA's more expensive gear. If you don't need multitrack recording (honestly who does nowadays?) don't get a duet. Get this!

I can't believe the sounds I can get out of this thing for vocals and guitar. I don't even mic my amp anymore when tracking demos. The real time processing sounds incredible.

one way to improve your bedroom recordings instantly is to step up your interface, and the apollo twin does just that & comes with a shit ton of dope plugins.

only problem is now i have to do way more takes because it's so clear i can hear even more mistakes.
