In fact, you get quite a few free plugins and effects with a purchase of an Apollo Twin. Offering everything from Neve Channel strips, to legendary Compressors, and even the included 1176, La-2a and even a Marshall Plexi Amp. This all means that UAD's impeccable software emulations of vintage studio gear, are some of the most accurate that you can get. The Unison plugins enable the modelling of a range of preamps, guitar amps and effects, pairing impedance switching, and gain staging (on the analogue end) with component-level circuit modelling in software.

What sets it apart even further is the Unison technology, which creates a hybrid between the analogue front end and Unison-driven plugins on the UAD platform. In addition to being able to record and output from your interface, the unit can also be utilized as a DSP external processing system, which can run UAD DSP plug-ins. Probably the biggest appeal for the Apollo Twin are it's DSP capabilities. The Input and Output number can be expanded by using the ADAT connection, which gives access to up to 8 more channels of digital input.Īpollo Twin also offers up to 24-bit/192kHz recording and playback. You get 2 high quality mic and line pre-amps, as well as 2 line outputs, for monitoring, as well as a headphone output. The Apollo Twin Duo comes with very high quality converters, as well as incredible pre-amps and other components.

More accessible than the flagship Apollo 8 and 16 Universal Audio interfaces, the Apollo Twin is the best way for mere mortals to gain access to proper DSP, as well as the awesome UAD range of plugins. When talking the best audio interface for Ableton, the Universal Audio Apollo Twin MK II Duo is one of the top dogs, and has good reason for being so popular. The UAD Apollo Twin is the best interface for a small, bedroom studio including 2 mic lines, with incredible pre-amps built-in, and 2 line outputs, on top of UAD's incredible range of analog emulated plugins.
