Great interface!!
I love the interface! It is solid, and very easy to work with. I also think the vsts are top notch. I have been producing for 18 years, and I have not worked with plugins as good as UA. I don’t know why I didn’t come to UA sooner. The only issue I have with the plugins is the filing. It is great for the console, because you can hide what you don’t use, but every UA plug still shows up in my dropdown for my DAW. A bit frustrating since I don’t know all the plugins yet, and have to read which ones I have, and then select from a large list. I don’t know if it is the DAW or UA, so I will keep this 5 stars. The sound quality alone gives it 5 stars.

Wahnsinn
Ich habe bereits einige Soundkarten > 1000 EUR gehabt und getestet, aber das Apollo Twin MkII ist wirklich das Beste was mir in der Preisklasse untergekommen ist. Tolles Produkt, Mega coole Plugins, hammer Klang. Null Latenzen, es macht wirklich mehr Spaß sich damit aufzunehmen. Was will man mehr.

Not ready for windows
Had this unit for 2 months. Great build, great features, let down by unusable ASIO/WDM drivers. Completely unstable below 88.2kHz regardless of cables or adapters, windows tweaks etc rendering it useless to me. The unit also gets in worringly hot with a few hours light use. My first and last UAD product.

As good as it gets
Love it! Super easy to use, great access to plug, using the vocal “plug ins” built into the software can make a vocal recorded in a badly treated room on a Shure SM 7B sound great. Simple enough for a small home studio but could easily cope with a larger setup, cheers guys!

Powerful and great soundong
After a 20 year hiatus and coming back to recording with a decidedly analog skillset, I was aprehensive about how productive I would be with my new studio in a box. But after some fiddling and consuming some online videos I'm already getting really comfortable with the hardware and plugins, and getting great sounds. I love the approach of plugins running inside my UA Twin, and the unison concept works well. Now all this HW needs is a dedicated HW control interface for the studio! The SW interface on a macbook for portability is the reason I invested in this toolset, but if I could plug in a board back at home base that would sweeten the deal even more. Regardless, this is a great device and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Buena construccion y sonidazo
Contento con la nueva tarjeta y plugins muy buenos

As great as everyone says
This device has drastically improved the quality of my recordings, and the plug-ins are scary accurate. Fantastic.
C. Christensen
WOW!
I didn't think I was going to hear that much difference when I switched over but it's incredible the difference with the sound card alone! Then with the plug-ins, it's mind blowing! A game changer!!!

Revolutionize your recording
I cannot say enough about how much this interface has revolutionized my recording process. It sounds 1Million times better than my muddy, sad little Focusrite interface, and having 0 latency removes so much stress and annoyance from recording. It just feels so much easier to get a solid take with this thing. Not to mention how much it just steps up your sound quality. Being able to use UA plugins is HUGE for any DIY musician, as they give the sound of all kinds of highly professional equipment to you for wayyyyyy cheaper than owning the hardware. Not to mention, this helps to unclutter your studio, as so many important preamps and effects can run right on this one box. My biggest disappointment was that the SOLO had absolutely pitiful DSP power, so I had to upgrade immediately to the DUO. But I 100% stand by that decision, because now I can use UA plugins for tracking AND mixing at the same time without being too worried about DSP. Once you hear what a UA plugin can do, you’ll want to use them as much as possible.
One undersung perk of this interface is the BUTTONS. How lovely it is to have buttons on your interface to be able to control routing, gain, phantom, and more. It’s a very hands on interface that you’ll find strengthens your relationship with recording itself, as it just makes it easier and more fun to do overall.

Sérieux mais très limité. Serious but very limited.
Produit apparemment de bonne facture. Néanmoins, il produit des parasites sonores insupportables connecté avec des yamaha HS50. Le DSP demande grâce dès qu'on utilise plusieurs Plugs In. Les plugs in sont hors de prix. Dommage.
Apparently a good product. Nevertheless, it produces unbearable noise when connected with yamaha HS50. The DSP asks for pity as soon as we use several Plugs In. The plugs in are overpriced.

This is it!!
There is no better interface. I love to be able to record anywhere. Recording through a pretty sweet signal chain in real time with zero latency has brought my productions up to an unforseen level of quality. If you need more that 2 inputs you can always add on to it. The talkback feature is amazing. I couldn’t imagen switching to a different workflow. Thanks UA

Apollo Twin MK II Changes My Life
I don't need another word. It was a miracle. After using the perfect UAD plug-in for the top high-end audio interface, I started my mix-engineer career again. Before using Apollo and UAD, I had mixed and been frustrated for years without getting the sound I wanted. I thought the sounds in so many famous albums were just sounds I couldn't have. And I gave up mixing for a year or two. However, my thoughts and life changed when I was using Apollo and UAD. I found the sound that I had been looking for for for years. All my dream sounds were here. He entered the world of Mix again. And the road is like a dream. Thank you for everything.

Apollo twin mkII
Absolutely the best interface I ever used!! The pres and plugins remind me of alot of my old outboard gear!! Can't believe it didnt buy it sooner!!

The Real Deal
I was using a Focusrite interface, and it served its purpose. I kept reading/hearing about the UA interfaces and how much better they are than everything else out there. Now I understand the hype. The console has a learning curve to it, but the interface is easy to use and sounds great. Bought the Twin Duo.

From a totally non-audio guy
I'm mostly a drawing-board guy at an animation studio. Once in a while I need to record a little audio -- some voice, some foley effects. I know just enough audio stuff to get into trouble. After using USB microphones I decided to up the quality with a higher-end condenser mike and needed an interface that would do it justice. This thing is All That. Bit of a learning curve, if you are starting from zero like yours truly (who didn't know a thunderbolt connection from a display port, and didn't know you had to send power to the mike by pushing that magical Third Button from the left), but I'm getting what a good audio setup should have been from the start. Lots of room to expand its capabilities beyond 'just' getting that nice clean rich full sound I had hoped for. Nice job, UA engineers, it's as perfect and as easy as I could want, and you'll have to get any further pressure for perfection from those whose ears are better than mine.

Great for Home Studio's
I bought this as a replacement for a Mackie Blackjack, and all I can say is "where has the Apollo Twin been all my life. While I was curious about the plugins I didn't believe that they would be a viable option for recording guitars... I was wrong, the amp plugins are outstanding!! I am extremely stratified with the performance, ease of use, and quality. I highly recommend this to anyone. Really I am new to the use of plugins, and UA has really opened up a new world of options for recording!! Thanks.
L. REBOLA
Very good product.
I got the Quad version. Really happy in these first weeks, solid construction, no problems with software and interaction with Core Audio enabled applications different from DAW. A bit disappointed with the power adaptor and cable, which are a step down from rest in terms of trust that can inspire you.
