Review: BEST Audio Interface I've ever used - I record all of the time, this is what I do for a living. Prior to owning the Apollo Twin, I had the Apogee Duet and it worked great, but of course, like anything else, overtime you need to upgrade. I have an engineer that I work with quite often and he'd mentioned the UA Audio interfaces, and I decided to get this one, after check out the others. What makes this Audio Interface so valuable is the plug-ins. You get a few that come with the interface, BUT you also have a LOT of the mainstream companies that have obviously made deals with UA Audio. (Some examples are Neve, Lexicon, Manley, Teletronix, Fender, Marshall, Studer DBX, Capitol Studios....and much, much more. The software that you use with it, which is called CONSOLE is AMAZING to say the least. It's the software that you use to connect the hardware to your computer. I have a MAC and I've been recording quite a bit since I've got the interface and I've ALWAYS get great sounds out of my studio, but I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, I'm getting better sounds, based on the plug-ins that I'm able to add. With the Duet, even though it was great, you'd have to get the plug-ins from different resources, with UA Audio, you register your device, to to there website, setup your account and EVERYTHING you need is right there, whether its for guitar, vocals, mixing, mastering, keyboards, drums, horns, it doesn't matter, there plug-ins are great and reasonable. I told my engineer buddy, "I should've listened to you a while ago" - LOL. It's by far the Best Audio Interface I've ever owned and used. HIGHLY Recommend this interface. !

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work for any daw and can you use all the plugins in other daw or only the Luna recording software**
A: Google "UAD DAW compatibility" for our tested DAW list. Even if it's not listed, any VST or AU DAW should be good to go.

**Q: just bought 2021 macbook pro which is thunderbolt 4.. the port size on this looks much larger.. How do I get this to work with it?**
A: You'll need Apple's Thunderbolt 2-3 adaptor (It's around $50) and a TB2 cable of whatever length you need.

**Q: Mines over heated then totally shutdown  how fix?**
A: Please contact support, they'll help. Google "UAD Support"

**Q: Will this work on a windows 10 pc that has a thunderbolt port onboard? asus proart z490-creator is tye motherboard.**
A: So long as it's a Thunderbolt 3 MB and has integrated TB3 ports or a daughter card and you're running Win10 Anniversary Edition or later, yes. You'll also need a Startech TB2-3 adaptor. Feel free to contact support for more info.
