Universal Audio Apollo Twin X

“Honestly, audio quality improvement from gen 1 to 2 isn't enough to justify an upgrade IMO.”

“The differences are very small. I only noticed a slight difference in the mic preamp test, but nothing beyond that.”

“I recommend the Apollo twin x duo to people who are on a tight budget too because they can actually afford it”

“Just sold my uad equipment and went for rme. Couldn't be happier.”

“Another cool thing about the Apollo is you can print the dry AND wet signal”

“Not worth upgrading. Gen1 is still 🔥”

“Gen 2 sounds brighter, but a simple EQ curve would get you there in a minute, so if you already have Gen 1 dont feel like youre missing out”

“It's frankly a clumsy workflow, and the best plugins in the world don't make it worthwhile.”

“Of course, the Apollo x4 is better, but only necessary for professionals”

“UA needs to upgrade the whole DSP engine it's simply ripping people off with that lack of power for the price you pay.”

“Good to know the Scarlett is so good for such an affordable price! I love my Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen.”

“$1,200 for the X6 is probably the best money spent in Pro audio at the moment.”

“this thing is a absolute beast. I recommend everyone to consider buying this instead of any Scarlett. the plugins that come with it are insane”

“The quality of the gen2 sounds like it's getting closer to conversion I have with my apogee but imo apogee is still king in that department”

“as an apollo owner the apogee symphony is like 10 times better”

“The only way to understand if the Gen2 is better is to do a real test, in ABX and perfectly level matched.”

“Wow this is more difference in quality than I was expecting, even just listening on my iPhone.”

“UAD is synonym for overprice, especially in 2024”

“It's a boat anchor now because it's TB2 all the plugins and the cost of the unit has been a complete waste of money.”

“The difference really was night and day when I upgraded to my UAD Apollo X Twin.”

“I would say except the preamps, which to me on 1st gen they sound much better and natural, even though not as clean I feel they sit better in this mix example - the 2nd gen seems to excel in all the other areas.”

“I finally get confirmation that the Apollo (Gen 1) sounds a bit muddy. I've always preferred my RME AD/DA.”

“Personally i like the sound of gen 1.”

“dont know why but 1st gen voc is so soothing”
