Blown away once again by UA
I felt it was time for an upgrade, Ive had my Twin MKII for close to 4 years and really wanted to move up to an X series box. For various reasons I chose the X4. I sold my Twin to a friend I turned on to UA, he in turn sold his Arrow to my keyboard player.The reregistering of my unit to my friend was flawlessly simple. I really love the X4 already and have hooked up my OX thru the Spidif line and the Ox sounds amazing!
My next plan is to purchase an Apollo 8p as well as one of the accelerators so I don't have worry about DSP.
Thanks again UA for the highest quality recording gear out there!!!

The Rolls Royce of Audio products and Interfaces
This product is unbelievably efficient and the sound quality which comes from this Apollo X4 is beautiful. You get a nice clean warm sound as is before you even hook up any plugins or preamps of your own for warmth. I will be adding the Apollo X8 to my rack as well and use both the X4 and X8. Overall I love this product.

Awesome addition/upgrade to my studio
Started with the Arrow a few years back and out grew it. Looked for best option to upgrade and the Apollo x4 is perfect. Looks, records, sounds, and performs at a professional level making ITB recording and mixing a reality. On top of that the integration with the ever improving LUNA gives you unlimited flexibility.

Love the Apollo x4!
I’m very happy with this audio interface with great useful plugins!
It’s small, powerful and fits beautifully under my iMac Pro screen! With the same color.

Great!
Great haptic and quality. If you own ultimate bundle already they give you others to pick from. Definitely worth the money.

UAD has done it again
What can I say...unit is just awesome. Recently switched from Twin X to get more I/O and all those years a have been using the Apollo line, never been disappointed. Great quality, really good preamps and plugins selection. It's hard not to like it ....cheers

Its an amazing interface with nothing to envy to the biggest
It is an excellent interface, capable of anything, with nothing to envy to the biggest. Their preamps are of the highest level, and I love unison. The talback is a great addition. I am very happy with it and I recommend it to anyone

Upgrade from Apollo Twin Solo Silverface
I was getting frustrated with my Twin's lack of DSP. I often use the Fender Tweed 55 as a Unison insert and that was all my Twin could handle. I would have to waste time shutting off the Tweed just to tune between takes. I also began trying to record my band at rehearsal and only having two microphone inputs was too limiting for my needs.
The X4 solved a lot of these issues and more. Having 4 inputs - especially having 2 HiZ inputs - makes recording in a number of scenarios much easier. Having 2 headphone cues is also very nice. I have a UAD-2 Satellite so that combined with the X4 exceeds my current needs and gives me room to grow.

Its a good product, but the value is half there
This is my first time buying appolo but my second time buying Universal Audio products. My first purchase was the ox top box which I am in love with. I wish the appolo measured up. I know when I get the plugins I will like the product but its a bummer feeling to pay so much for an item and feel like you cant enjoy it till you've spent more money on the plugins that should have co.e with it. And by more money I mean, like another almost $3000 cdn. Sticker shock has set in and i feel i didnt get my moneys worth. When comparing the two products and what I got for my money I was dissipointed with the appolo. Not because it is not good equipment, but because it wasnt a complete package and was quite expensive to only get half the product or an incomplete experience. It should have come with the full package of plugins for the price I paid, or if they really can't justify including the plugins in that price they should have at least raised the price of the unit and included it in the box. I also did not like that the appolo did not have midi support. Also, a monthly subscription or financing options for the plugins would be at least a better idea so that they can be more accessable and budget friendly for the musician that just bought an already expensive item.

love the new X8
Bought one after my old Apollo 8 got toasted by an electrical storm . Using the new X8 with a 5-year old Mac and a Thunderbot 2 cable-adaptor, and it is still way faster than the old A-8 and seems to have a lot more CPU-power too. Plus it sounds great. Highly recommended.

Upping the ante
I’ve been using an Apollo twin duo quad core for a few years now and have not had a problem so it would stand to reason that when the x4 came out it would be the logical choice to upgrade to, I decided to do a full studio upgrade with a new MacBook Pro ,49inch curved screen, softube console and fader and an octo satellite all using thunderbolt 3 through a hub and I could not be more elated awesome sound easy to set up and use along with luna the future looks and sounds great.

Good Interface
Apollo X4 is pretty good. The A/D converter is excellent and can be hear in the sound quality. The Hi Z input is also really good. The pre-amps are also top notch with the mics I used. I haven't played with all the plugg-ins given with my purchase, but not fully impressed just yet, so I will keep my comments abt the pluggins for later. I would have given full 5 stars, but there are a couple of things I don't like. One is the heat in the unit. It gets scary hot, so I put a laptop cooler under it to keep it somewhat cooler. The other is the fact that my browser shows all the UA pluggins, when I only have about 20 that came with the purchase, which makes it hard to browse and use them.

Finally there
A beautifully built and fantastically sounding music interface - I finally found my favorite music companion that I was looking for a long time. Especially love two high-z inputs and the two headphone outputs on the front panel are a game changer. Well done, Universal Audio.

A paradigm shift.
Apollo provides an exponential increase in the capabilities I had with previous home studio setups.
Solid, well-engineered hardware with seamless software and firmware integration. Apollo, Unison and Luna provide the optimal digital workflow with analog emulation good enough to fool or appease the purists.

Great audio interface
I love my x4 Apollo. To have for 4 mic/line inputs is great! I have 2 line inputs for my keyboard and 2 for my Sphere L22. Just enough inputs for my project size.

A Sound Investment
Sounds wonderful, as do the plugins provided with it. I can even hear the difference (warmer and clearer) between this and my trusty Apogee interface. The first tracks recorded using Luna or Logic Pro sound great.

The portable UA interface I was dreaming of
I got the x6 and not long after UA released the x4 which is the thing I really wanted/needed to replace my Twin: fits in my backpack, has enough cores to support a real mix and 2 headphone outs (the biggest flaw of the Twin IMO). So I sold the x6 and got the x4, loosing a grand. Because the x6 and x4 markets overlap, I think UA should have been honest and announced the whole X series together to avoid loyal customers like me to waste money.

Best Interface I've ever had
This interface has just completely changed the way me and my band now see the experience of recording. Unison preamps are beyond amazing. UAD has really done it: bridging the gap between the analog and digital world. Watch how it will all change from now on. UAD did it.
