UAD Apollo Twin as Standalone DSP with PT HD?

Right now I am not in front of my studio Mac... you mean the plugin UI?

Hmm, I just checked it... No little microphone on my system.
Maybe it is a Apollo thing? Right now I only have some satellites. My plan was buying an Apollo Twin for guitar recording ( and as an interface for my Macbook).

I am doing exactly that...

In my studio using my Hackintosh (with Thunderbolt)
I have a HD Native System with 2 16 I/O's that I use for mixing and recording
I have the Twin Duo set as optical out and use that as my monitoring interface.

When I am on the road, I use the Twin Duo on my Macbook as the audio interface and it works perfect. you have 0 latency when recording into the Twin using the amazing unison preamp plugins and other plugins... and you can record these or just use for monitoring.

Bottom line it's awesome

what....64 is amazingly low.


I want to know how you guys are running 64......b/c by the end of the mix I am pushing 128 or 256 land depending.....

and I thought I had a fast computer.... 6core i7 3.2ghz with 16gb of ram and 5gb disk cache'd

You record at 64 and once you mix you move the buffer up...once you mix latency isn't an issue anymore (unless you use hardware inserts and then you should really be on an HDX system)

It's a great little plugin. Softube programmed it and all their stuff is pretty dead on.

Best pic of any UA plug I could find on the net. Got the job done, right? That's all that matters to me.

Or do you think I am such an Avid fanboy that I wouldn't/shouldn't use a Logic screenshot? Well, I'm glad that's settled!!
