Apollo Heritage Editions include plug-ins featured in UAD Spark, UA's subscription plug-in collection that runs natively on Mac, with no UA hardware required.

Additionally, the reliance on a Thunderbolt connection did mean I had to upgrade my cabling, but that was a minor hiccup in an otherwise smooth experience. If you want to be serious and have a 100% professional gear, this is the option that takes you to the top.This is great for taking advantage of UAD channel strip or Amp emulation plugins, giving you an authentic studio sound and saving DSP later in the mixing process. Powerful and intuitive, Precision Mix Rack Collection gives you an impressive tool set — perfect for beginners and seasoned professionals alike.

I love the quality of the product, well-specified interfaces, robust construction, and thought-through console UI. With all of these plugins processed in near real-time, the infusion of additional processing power is poised to propel your audio engineering and music production endeavours to unprecedented heights.Our short-scale bass guitar goes through the classic combo of an LA-2A and another Pultec EQ, which delivers us a full and fat tone that has our head nodding instantly. This feature will streamline your workflow, allowing you to work quickly whilst still being precise. Absolutely amazing value for the money, transparent and stable integration with third-party daws, staggering preamps and converters.

From Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, Duane Allman to Eric Clapton, the Plexi’s punishing melange of snarl, sustain, smoothness, and raunch defined the sound of rock. Where the Apollo Twin X stands out from the crowd is it’s ability to imitate the workflow of an analogue studio, which could be just the thing to liven up the modern engineer’s mix. Most of the music community is aware of the quality of UA’s Unison preamps, but for us, the UA Console is the real show-stopper here. With its two Unison™ preamps and front panel Hi-Z instrument input, Apollo Twin X USB lets you track in realtime through preamp and channel strip plug-ins from Neve, Manley, API, and dozens more, giving you the same rich analog texture as the hardware used on decades of iconic music. Apollo Twin X Heritage Edition includes 5 premium UAD plug-in titles, plus the “Realtime Analogue Classics” UAD plug-in bundle.I've integrated the Apollo x Twin into my home studio and it has been nothing short of transformative. There’s also an optical connection, designed to allow you to expand further into the UA ecosystem should the need for more inputs arise. Once you expand your studio with an Apollo X rack mount unit, you can use Apollo Twin X as a desktop monitor control with additional I/O and DSP power. With UAD Spark, you can expand your plug-in processing power, balancing your DSP load between Apollo and your computer's onboard processing.
