More like this please. I feel like there is so much more under the hood of the Apollo that can be learned.
So informative for a new Apollo owner. Also, I have to say that their chemistry makes this educational video very enjoyable!
Fantastic explanation of how the UA hardware and software work. Straight forward, easy to understand, and incredibly well presented. One of the best tutorials on ANYTHING I've seen in a long time. Thanks!
More like this. Fabtastic and inspiring for people like me who have the gear, but are stuck trying to get ourselves to actually start recording.
Love it. Plenty of humour and learning in this one. 22:15
Michelle, "Danger Express.."
Fab, "That's what they call me in high school."
this video is long overdue. I eventually figured much of this out through a ton of different articles and videos. thanks UA. switching to the X4 was the most valuable upgrade for my projects.
She is amazing...im on Luna for 3 months now...love it
how many track does luna have and is is better than pro tools?
very helpful for a refresher/beginner on the Apollo interface. And Michelle definitely has a new fan.
Great tutorial video! And.... I love how the mic also picked up the very light sound of his fingers on the MIDI-keyboard, playing the synth parts... You can hear the rhythmical timbre very light in the recording 🙂
I have to say Fab is an amazing teacher🙌🏾. He has has such a great way of explaining things really well in a simplistic and easy to digest way. Thank you. This video has been a great help.
I wish there was a step by step course taught by him. I'd buy it right now!
This was such an in depth review and a very powerful performance!
👍🏻
Incredible walkthrough but that performance at the end was amazing!!
Amazing! Thanks for updating from previous video. I love LUNA it’s my go to DAW now 🔥🔥
👍🏻
Amazing video ! Very instructive. Nice to se Fab back BTW
This guy really makes me proud of buying and using my twin x and Luna
Fantastic. Great to see the product of two great talents in the end of this video. Beautiful. Thanks for teaching and rewarding us with your gift.
🥂
Great video. Beautiful song and performance at the end too!
🙏❤️ Thanks!
Great video and beautiful sound! I must admit I have watched it more than once already! I have an Apollo x4 and it's amazing! Thanks for the inspiration!
So glad you enjoyed it!
That song is really really nice! Beautiful voice too! And the video is very interesting. Well done, guys!
🙏
Lovely video, and beautiful performance at the end! 😊♥️
Thank you! You should check out the studio version from Just One Voice 🙏
Great video! Very informative and entertaining. Michelle is simply AWESOME!!
👍🏻
Excellent! A truly fab demo! Thank you and very well done
This was so helpful! I had far too many concept errors as I read through forums on LUNA and my Apollo interface.
Marvelous, Michelle!
This is such a great video! I appreciate that he used Oxide, too.
Finally an updated video
Fab is such a talented human being!
ooo the performance at the end ! i wish i could sit and ask more questions just installing apollo
Been Watching Fab since Puremix Net days early days. He is the MAN
Fab is a master even in teaching. Imagine being he's assistant. Damn how lucky that guy is. This man makes you a pro the first class.
Thanks for great tutorial. Finaly I have found an interface that gives me all I need and I can also use it for live performance with effects and no latency on it, that's amazing
Muy clara la experiencia de grabación! Lo adquiero pronto! Gracias 🎉
Yes!! More Fab!!
Very very helpful for absolute enthusiasts! (beginners) 🙃 Love 'Green gray'😍
New to the Apollo fam game change absolutely no question ask but this class so helpful Gracias ❤
Thanks Fab for such a great video!
👍🏻
Good work Fab !!!!! To the point Frenchy:)
I love her song and all of this explanation of the interface to
This helped so much! Great video!
That was bananas! 🍌 🍌 🍌 Fab is the goat
this was so well done and informative, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!!
God, this would have saved me so much time years ago 😂 so glad it exists now, thank you!
🥂
Really cool guys! Thank you so much for this!
Excellent session i learn a lot ! Thanks ❤
Great teaching and performance❤
I love this. You two are terrific together. Fab is a great teacher, and Michelle you are amazing to listen to. UA...any word on LUNA for Windows Apollo TWIN USB yet?
Excellent video.
Fab is such a great teacher. Is there an in depth, step by step Luna course available? Long time Logic user here but I'm seriously interested in Luna. Oh and btw... Michelle is awesome. Love her music!!
❤️🙏
I was hoping to find an answer to getting a Step by Step LUNA course. Argggh.
@@oluwaseyigrey7683 Steve Kinney has some great videos here that show a lot of the how-to recording/mixing functions of UA and Luna, both basic and advanced. Start there. UAD also released a numbered series on Apollo & UAD devices. I started with #1 & kept watching until I could make some basic recordings. All available on youtube
@@kentdemonbreun6047 Thank you. 'Will do. I'm just super used to the Logic interface. Hence, when I open LUNA, I do seem pretty lost.
I'll watch 'em videos though. Thanks again.
@@oluwaseyigrey7683 best of luck my friend. The interface is very different, and definitely a learning curve involved, but it is a very well thought out & really robust system. I have stopped using everything else but Luna for all my mixes going forward. Some days its a challenge, but I have gotten some really great mixes so far
She’s got an amazing voice 👌🔥
cool to see you Fab
Thanks for sharing fab :)
Awesome singer, wurlyplayer and songwriter. ✌🏼
Thank you so so much for this 👏
she got a great voice🔥🔥
🙏❤️ Green Grey has an official music video you can check out too!
thank you so much! very very helpful
Damn y'all killin' it with these vids. The Apollo FB group really needs to watch this haha
👍🏻
This is great thank you🙏
wow ,i love it
This is a top notch, getting in the weeds, tutorial. I’ll echo (echo echo) whats said in other comments - more please!
What sets Universal Audio apart from competitors is the amount of demo or final mixes of what the interface sounds like in action. That in addition to Fab's countless videos showcasing how to use the UA products.
Michelle gets all the credit.
❤️
Yoooooooooo! Great song!
Thanks! The music video is released, if you'd like to check it out ❤️
Fab at-a-boy! UA forever Guys!) Peace!
“That’s not true” 😂😂😂
Great video!
More vids like these please
Sold, thanks… ❤
Amazing! I record my vocals with an Apollo Twin + SM7B Mic. Are you using something like a cloud lifter for this? I don't and have never had problems recording without it, but I am wondering if I could get more out of the pre-amp (I am mostly using the UAD Neve 1084) if I would use a cloud lifter or something similar?
Fab is the best...
i like how they become friends near the end.
Great music! I love my Apollo Twin X as a versatile interface, but I highly recommend adding a good external microphone pre (Neve, Great River, Daking, etc) if possible -- esp. for pop and rock recording. The difference is striking.
The hardware or software?
but how can you add external pre..the line inputs is a combo jack and it does not bybass the preamp in real terms..i have apollo twin mkii..and i am also looking to buy an external pre..please suggest how to do it..cant find the videos..
@@joohad Hardware. I use a Great River MP-2NV as the front end.
@@amonchhetri1053 The line input passes through the Apollo’s preamp, so while not a perfect straight wire, when set to zero (+10dB) the internal preamp’s affect on the signal is arguably minimal (input THD at -114dB). In practice, the sound and transient response of my external preamp are very much evident.
@@tanukibrahmayou can run from the pre into the Apollo, yes?
Michelle killed it!
❤️🙏
nice!
verry nice Thanks you
You're welcome.
Very good video, I am kind sad the end you also didn't show how the reverb works with Logic though. It would have been nice to see. But tnx for the info.
Love the old school vibe .
Estoy esperando LUNA para Windows por favor amo a universal audio son lo máximo
Oh Jeez! I deleted LUNA. I didn't realize the LUNA and Console interfaced with each other..? Good information.
Wow….❤️
Great video! What about singing live and monitoring through the studio monitors? Is there feedback or latency errors when hearing yourself live through them? Thank you 💪
Excellent video. When is Luna going to release on Windows?
Daaamn fab grew hair
Thanks for the video! Couple of things. Firstly, what’s the DSP % on the Twin running at with all the plugins running, I’m surprised a Twin could do that. Secondly, I would favour turning low latency monitoring and input monitoring off when recording when all the plugins are in the Apollo. You only need low latency switched on in the DAW if using any plugins on the computer at the time of recording. So, input monitoring off, not low latency monitoring on, in that case. Thanks again.
Yeah Twin QUAD is powerful!! Direct monitoring from Console is the lowest latency.
Great video. I just purchased the x4 and getting close to using it. I read somewhere the other day that Luna does not support 3rd party plugins but you mention that you can pull in synths so that makes me think 3rd party plugins can be used. Can you enlighten me on this?
You guys are always life savers! I have my apollo twin hooked up to a great river preamp. All of the sudden when I set to LINE level (preamp connected to Apollo twin via 1/4 set to input) the PHANTOM POWER will not turn on. If I set it to MIC level - phantom turns on. What am I doing wrong ? :( thank you!
great video: can You make a video on how to set up virtual channels on APOLLO TWIN X USB WINDOWS please thanks
how did you plug two headphones into the interface ? some spliter ? btw nice video !
A bit of a complicated workflow if you dont plan on using Luna. I wish they could have just allowed us to use it on our other DAW but as an IT guy, surely that's complicated and could make it more expensive. Anyway, great product =)
So, if a guitarist wanted to use say Helix Native with low latency monitoring - would that go in console (or is that UA only) - or does it work in Luna - or does it matter for non UA plugins?
What about the tempo on left side ? Do you have to set it to the tempo to your session in let’s say for example pro tools when your recording? Or what is that for ?
What should the volume on the monitor section in the bottom right corner be for the best results when recording vocals
Feature Request: Would love to see a native accurate VU Meter by UAD for Console and Luna so we can gain stage precisely.
This.
Fabs hair is out of control!! Hippy mode
Hi sir,
uad apollo twin x adapter does not have three pin plug, only two, All the wires whether mic, Headphones or monitors is connected to twin x all have electric
current, In our studio earthing cable is properly connected, But apollo has only two pins in its adapter, I'm getting electric shocks by apollo, please solve the problem, Thanks
Thx for the video , can you do a video with x4 Apollo ?? I get little confused because there twice as much in console
It's exactly the same except you have 2 more ins and there is an optical out. Otherwise, Twin and x4 are the same.
Fab what is your MIDI keyboard plugged into? The DAW or the Twin ?
Good morning ! I recently purchased an Apollo Twin x Duo, very nice. I wanted to ask if it is possible to record a stereo reverb from the console window to any DAW. if I put it in insert it records in mono, if I put it in aux it cannot be recorded. Am I doing something wrong? A thousand thanks . great !!!!!
Wait a minute when you say Luna Apollo and console are all one. What’s the benefit over logic? You’re making it sound like I shouldn’t use logic and now I gotta switch and use Luna which I don’t feel like switching daws learning and downloading and spending hours screwing around. I’m already in logic. Can logic be one with console and Apollo the way Luna can? I see it’s similar but still.
So here is where I wonder about the whole spark native thing and all the buzz about using interfaces other than Apollo, how can the plugs compare without the hardware
I’m good with my Apollo X and my new X6
If ones uses the plugins only for mixing, the spark thing can suffice, but if you love to record with unison, you will always need an apollo. What spark may make obsolete are the expansion dsp boxes.
I use rack Apollos, but there are lots of different interfaces up and down the food chain that are useful for different reasons. Maybe you want an interface with (arguably) better converters than Apollo, like a Lynx Aurora(n). Or maybe you already own a small portable unit like an M-Track for using soft synths with a laptop at gigs. Or you're sketching song ideas at a friends place without the larger gear. They're smaller and cheaper than an Apollo Twin-and they have MIDI. But without the UADx versions, no Apollo was a no-go in these situations. I'd happily use UADx in these settings because tracking a vocal with just a scooch of 1176 sounds better than nothing.
I wished you could select a channel in Console, like you can select a channel by push of the left knob.
Nice tutorial and great romantic comedy
