Apollo Twin — for Windows!

If you're a Windows user, Universal Audio has an Apollo Twin just for you. The Apollo Twin USB is a 10 x 6 USB 3 audio interface for Windows that delivers impeccable 24/192kHz Apollo conversion, juiced by real-time UAD processing and Unison mic preamp emulation. Onboard UAD-2 DUO Core processing lets you record your music in real time, with near-zero latency, through UAD plug-ins from Neve, Studer, Manley, Marshall, Lexicon, API, and more. Think about the classic analog sound you can achieve with racks of vintage mic pres, equalizers, dynamics, reverbs, and even tape machines and guitar amps! The Apollo Twin USB DUO Heritage Edition comes with a premium suite of five award-winning plug-in titles, along with the Realtime Analog Classics bundle, arming you with accurate emulations of vintage analog hardware.

Simply Outstanding, the Next Level of Pro Audio

MY REVIEW: Absolutely outstanding piece of gear. I was IMMEDIATELY impressed with how much faster this Apollo made my PC, thanks to the integrated DSP capability that essentially splits the plugin processing with the computer's CPU. Plugin-heavy sessions that used to have a very slight lag now responded extremely quickly as if my session was empty - it was that responsive! I didn't know what I was missing until I had this unit setup and running with Pro Tools 12.

BIG THANKS TO MY SALES ENGINEER RICHARD!
Richard absolutely went above and beyond in assisting me with finding the right piece of gear to take on the new interface role. His patience, expertise and very kind demeanor made my venture into high-end recording devices a very, very pleasant experience. I am forever sold on using Sweetwater for all my future studio gear needs thanks to Richard!

TLDR - If you're using a PC and want to upgrade to Apollo, THIS is the interface you need to work seamlessly with Windows. The quality of the audio is unmatched, even through my limited testing. Don't hesitate; BUY IT NOW!

Fantastic Audio Interface for Windows

Wow this is super fast, crystal clear, and so easy to navigate both for myself and for guest vocalists. I love that theres some great plug ins this comes with as well for beefing up and solidifying your mix. Definitely makes purchasing seperate rackmount compressors more optional than necessary. I have a simple and smaller sized recording studio space, since I usually only record vocals here. This is a perfect fit for my needs. I run Pro Tools 99% of the time and this apollo works great with it. Far better than the mbox audio interfaces I used to used for the last 12 years.

Great interface

It's expensive and the plugins from UA can help with latency, but it's just a great sound that has become "honest" for me and my little studio. For the money, I wish they had 2 headphone outs, but, hey -it's so crazy to complain having come from the analog world. It's a great, expensive piece of equipment. The real winner is anyone who does business with Sweetwater. Sweetwater wins no matter what equipment; problem or tech issues - they are the very best!

An Audible Difference!

I love the sound of this interface. I upgraded after 6 years and the way the music opened up is fascinating! I can hear the smallest of EQ moves, which gives me instant restraint by not being heavy handed. The mixes I've done lately have gone faster and come out cleaner than before, saving me hours of revisions.

I like the Console, but must admit, I'm no expert just yet. Thank goodness for the online reference videos! If you're on the fence, accept this as permission to make the switch!

A little hint of magic

I simply plugged it in, replacing my Audient ID14 and I immediately noticed a much thicker, stronger sound. Once you get into the UAD Console your options are unlimited. The NEVE 88RS is a must have and will make your voice, or anything else, punch and kick through anything.

Have not had a single issue with drivers.

Looks pristine on my desk.

Always Happy to shop with Sweetwater.
