Thank you for your time, any insight is appreciated. Universal Audio nimmt eine weltweit führende Position bei der Entwicklung von Thunderbolt Audio interfaces, analoger Recording-Hardware und UAD Audio Plug-Ins ein. If it was a significant upgrade from my Duet in terms of handling 3rd party soft synths and audio units then I would have no problem picking one up.īasically I would like to have a premium, portable audio interface that can handle the CPU load, but if the Apollo interfaces won't make much difference with 3rd party plugins, what other options would you recommend? Or if it won't make too much difference, should I just roll with the Duet via USB 2.0? The reason the Solo appeals to me is that it's powered via phantom power, I move around a lot and the less cable clutter the better. I see the appeal of the UAD plugins, but I can't see myself using them often. Would it be a noticeable difference using 3rd party (non UAD) plugins due to the Thunderbolt 3 hookup vs USB 2.0?.Would the Apollo interfaces be better for my CPU load than my current setup, the Apogee Duet?.My questions, as someone who primarily uses software instruments and does very little external audio recording:
#Uad audio interface for mac
My current interface is an Apogee Duet, the latest model before they recently discontinued it, the one that works for Mac and PC, USB 2.0, which I hookup via a USB-C dongle. I've been producing music for about 2.5 years, 90% of what I do is in the box using software, and I work in Logic Pro on a 2019 16" MBP, 64GB RAM, 8-core i9. I've been researching and contemplating purchasing either a UAD Apollo Solo or Apollo Twin X Duo for about a week now, it would be the Thunderbolt 3 version of either of those two units. My understanding of audio hardware is quite noob level, I'm hoping for some insight on audio interfaces.
