Not worth it for the high price.

First, go on google and search it up on tons of problems with this product that users have raised and seeking help from the manufacturer. Before purchase, I thought the problems only exist on the Thunderbolt Mac version if use in Windows, while the USB version would be fully compatible with Windows. However, it is not fully compatible and when I contacted support from UAudio, they acknowledge the incompatibility and basically said fix it yourself, customer. While there are workarounds like installing third party drivers, etc, you gotta do it yourself and it does not fully work well compared to if the manufacturer themselves make it, if you know what I mean. Well, that is not all. This is just the icing on the top.

I have used this product for around 2 weeks and everyday different problems arose from it. Sometimes there is popping and chopping audio on the recordings from this product. Somedays it has popping, somedays it has distortions, somedays it has chops, in recordings through this product. It has a lot of flavors to say the least.

Thirdly, it does not have the feature to turn off direct monitoring of the inputs in the channels, you can only mute them. And if you mute them and if you want to record the inputs from the Monitoring output, there will be nothing since you muted it. There are use cases for this. Lets say you don't want to hear the direct monitoring of the inputs, and only want to hear the PC audio, while wanting to record the Monitoring output because you want the effects added to the main channel input or volume gains from AUX or Analog volume settings in your recordings. Well, since you muted it because you don't want to hear the direct monitoring, this use case is not supported. There are workarounds, but it is stupid for a product priced high as this.

If you want to hear a use that might run smoothly for this product, I guess it would be just the plug ins that you need to buy from their website UAudio. And maybe the Thunderbolt version on "Mac" might work more smoothly as people said on the net? Well I mean ain't products this price be able to work smoothly out of the box? Laughs.

Just want to add on lastly, even though their user manual for this product has 200 over pages, it does not explain what the volume settings of certain outputs do, figure out yourself laughs. Therefore I am getting so much distortion in my recordings I don't know if it is my Shure M58 mic issue or the volume settings tweaking that needs to be adjusted.

The purchase met my expectations
Pasha Penzyak 10.06.2021
I'm from Russia. I ordered the parcel on May 26, received it on June 3. True, I had to pay for customs clearance and duty. I bought this audiointerface because I do custom arrangements and mix sound. With all this, I never stop learning the tricks of mixing sound for a minute. Before that I used the audiointerface Roland Quad Capture U-55. Compared to him, Apollo's sound seemed more honest and not as embellished as Roland's. Roland, compared to Apollo, sounds like a multimedia technique with obvious beauty. After the purchase, I immediately tried to mix the phonogram on Apollo, and as I think it turned out great, and I used the standard plug-ins from Apollo.

Little Monster
Arman B. 04.10.2022
This sound card from Universal audio, I call the little monster. Because it is very compact, but at the same time very powerful. Perfect preamps. Convenient to use. And of course, one DSP processor, which is enough for the entry level. If you choose between this sound card and AD Volt, definitely choose Apollo Solo.
P.S. If you add another DSP processor to it, perhaps UAD will compete with SpaceX :)
