UAD Apollo Twin Solo Interface & Pro Tools
Hi,
I'm thinking about buying an Apollo Twin Solo interface to use with Pro Tools 10 and 11 (the old MBox2 is dying...). Can I continue to use the all the VST and AAX plugins I already have or do I have to switch to using the UAD plugins that come bundled with the Apollo? Thanks, bb |

Re: UAD Apollo Twin Solo Interface & Pro Tools
Hey
You can use the same plugins as you do use today in PT11/10. The UA plugins runs as any other plugin you have but uses the interface DSP power instead of the computers CPU. So to be clear you can keep using the same plugins you use now and if and when you want to get a few UA plugins they will work in PT as your other plugins do. Best of Luck (UA interfaces are super sweet)

Re: UAD Apollo Twin Solo Interface & Pro Tools
Some one over in the Gearslutz forum just told me that the Apollo Twin Solo isn't powerful enough for mixing. First I've heard this. Any comments/thoughts on this? I need to record and mix obviously so I don't want to invest in something that won't be up to the task.
Thanks, bb |

The interface had Nothing to do with how powerful it is for mixing. The computers power (CPU RAM) is what determines how complex the mixes can be and NOT the interface. That person doesn"t know what they are talking about The interface you are interested in will most definately be enough and what you need to look at is how many in and outs you need and if you are gonna use lots of UA plugins, that can be the roadblock as you would need a quad interface from UA if you wanna use lots of UA plugins. as far as how many plugins you have that are not UA too use in a mix is not at all dictated by any interface so : If you are going to use lots of UA plugins you might consider the twin duo interface as it has a little more horsepower for,plugins but the exact same sound quality as the larger interfaces, and if you are gonna use 12-15 instances of UA plugins and the rest your other plugins you will be all good. UA has a comparison chart on how much DSP each of their plugins use from the interface so check that out before making the purchase as it varies quite a lot from interface to interface. And just to be clear : the interface in this case has nothing to do with how big your mixes can be, that is ONLY dictated by your computer power and RAM aswell as having the correct requirements with Hard drives etc. Please read up on UA website yourself instead of listening to people who haven't got a clue of what they are talking about so you yourself have all the info you need to make the right decisions going forward Here is the chart of how many instances of plugins ypu can use on each of the UA interfaces: http://www.uaudio.com/support/uad/co...nce-chart.html Best of Luck Christopher

To me it looks like the new waves DSP-based system, it's much more impressive. TDM systems are still way cheaper, and more bang for the buck if recording through plug-ins is important to anybody out there. Although I have to admit, I read a recent post here on the DUC, that has me fairly excited about Protools HDN, In A way I've never been before. Assuming, every thing that I heard was accurate. I did ask to give an example of the same MIX, at 44.1, to see if it would be as efficient, but still not heard anything back as of yet. UAD is massively compelling if you just need to track through plug-ins, but not need to mix through them.
