Hello all,
Is anyone using the UA apollo with voiceover. Are the UA plugins accessible? Is this worth the investment for use with my mac book pro? Thanks,
Brian

YThe ug ins are accessible and it will offload some of the plug in
processing power from your computer CPU, but the apollo's only have a
single DSP chip ( Apollo Solo) or two DSP Chips (Apollo Duo). So you
wont be able to mix an entire project with all UAD plug ins with just
one of those interfaces. But as a nice way to get into the UAD game
and have a nice portable interface that can travel easy with a macbook
its a great. The downside is you c can'tuse any of the UAD plug ins
in the UAD console to track through them but the plug ins inside the
DAW are all accessible and the presets show up in the DAW's own preset
list. That being said i am thinking of unloading mine so write me off
list if interested. I have the apollo twin duo.

I'm personally a big fan of the UAD plugs! I use a satilite which has
2 cores. Some plugs need to be printed to use multiple plugs, but in
large part I use UAD to Mix everything. Not only accessible, but
extremely great sounding! As for recording through UAD plugs in to PT
from the appolo interface, I've found no way to do this without
creating some keyboard macros by some, I mean fairly extensive.
HTH.

I don't know about accessibility, but here's the product page for the
latest Appollo. Apparently the converters have been improved!

Hey are you willing to share those keyboard maestro macros for the
Apollo interface?

Hi guys,

Sorry for the blank text above... Anyways I was trying to say that I am very interested on buying the apollo twin but its not very clear if it is really accessible or not. the time I had chance to touch it I didn't even consider it because that thing only has one nob and a display. How can that be accessible???
for the peeps that own it can you please describe how would be possible for a totally blind person user something like that? and also the builtin plugins, how can we adjust levels and select between them?
any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers

The twin is easy enough to use as there are buttons on the interface  for inputs outputs . For example you press the input button once and the knob adjusts the input gain for input one. press it again and the knob adjust the gain for input two. Pass the output once and you adjust the speaker volume press it again and you adjust the headphone volume. The other buttons toggle between mic/line love, stereo link (so both inputs volume are controlled at the same time instead of independently) flipping the phase on one of the inputs,  phantom power on and off and a input pad. The plug ins are loaded just like any other plugs are and show up just like any other plug in dos in the plug in list in whatever program you are recording in. The presets are accessible as well as all th parameters. You will needed sighted assistance to  authorize the plug ins you own as well as any demos you want to try. You are allowed two 14 day demo period per plug in to try and the two trial periods get reset every time you purchase a plug in. If you don’t have sighted assistance to assist in activating the plug ins, you can call Universal Audio tech support and have them remote into your system and dow it for you. That being said i am looking to unload my twin if you are interested in saving some money on one. Just not using the UAD stuff as much as i thought i would or not into classic gear emulations as much as i thought i’d be.

Let me know how much you are asking for that guy on joser...@gmail.com if you haven’t sold it yet.

Cheers
