Cascading UA Apollo Thunderbolt for 5.1 outs
I'm wondering if anyone has experience cascading multiple UA Apollo thunderbolt interfaces. I have a UA Twin MKII and would like to add outputs for mixing in 5.1. Buying a used Apollo 8 MKII might be an affordable way to do this.
I want to use my Twin MKII for dedicated L/R outs, and add C, Ls, Rs and LFE on the Apollo 8. Will I be able to achieve this using a PT Aggregate Output? |

BTW, the Apollo 8 already has enough analog output to handle 5.1 without the need to cascade. However, those additional outputs again are not controlled via the hardware monitor knob. |

Thanks for the reply. Great point that the monitor controller won’t work on the additional interface. So cascading is not a good solution for me.

Re: Cascading UA Apollo Thunderbolt for 5.1 outs
There is a workaround if you use an Avid Dock. You can setup a Master Fader in Pro Tools to be Eucon controlled and the monitor knob on the Dock will control this Master Fader as a kind of Monitor Control. This way you can still utilize all available outputs of the UAD hardware and not need to worry about monitor functionality the hardware.
