After having the UAD Apollo x4 for a couple of months, in this video I share the top 5 reasons why I love it and why I think it is the best desktop interface to buy in 2022.

The first feature I love is very underrated, but it is having two headphone jacks built in, where each person can have an independent instrumental and vocal mix. Makes working with others a breeze. Having access to four unison preamps, four core DSP and having zero latency is also amazing. The converters sound wonderful and most importantly, the workflow of the Apollo x4 is the best that I have seen personally. The combination of their Console software and the Apollo hardware works flawlessly together.

Very good video. I'm thinking about purchasing this one.

I sold my Apollo Twin X and got the RME UCX II. Better converters, better clocking, and better preamps.

So may i confirm that I must have Apollo interface for the plugins to work? Thanks

[sebastiandutour]

Very helpful video, im new to this subject i was wondering if its possible to use 5 xlr unison mics (to record a piano) using this audio interface. Is it possible or i would need to get the x6 version instead?

[simonsmith]

So is this the solution I need, to remove a lot of hardware from our live rig? I play in a duo with an electronic musician, so we can run 2 vocal chains, a guitar amp sim chain, and an analog synth chain, without the live latency woes?

Can you compare the Universal Audio Volt to their Apollo?

[JC-lbmg]

I bought a rme.
unpacked it.
opened the software.
worked 2 hours on it : NOTHING WORKED. REALLY NOTHING!
looks (and works ) like from 1987
send it back ...

See how different taste and habit is...

[jer]

So if I’m tracking with someone else I should get a x4 ? Instead of the quad?

[JawillOwens]

Whats the difference between the UAD Neve Preamp vs the UAD Neve 1073?

[Dante-qfyd]

You said this is the best? Is this good as the Apogee Symphony Desktop?

[apostolicway]

Can you purchase and use without using console, only use with my daw?

[tuneunleashed]

To be honest I wanted one but I realized how useless and outdated UAD is. Sure the plugins may sound great but with the MacBook M1's out and how PCs have evolved is it still worth the price when it computer with its internal DSP can do 10x more than an Apollo could and when it comes to Plugins Apollo is far from the best and they're expensive. RME UCX ii smokes this thing, it has better latency with USB 2.0, better preamps better, everything!
