UA just released the 'Apollo Solo' however, which has less inputs than the Twin (and no ADAT input). However, the Duo will give you enough DSP to use plug-ins while recording multiple inputs.Ĭheck out this article for more info regarding how many UAD plug-ins you'll be able to use: Įdit: I should mention, UA no longer makes the 'Apollo Twin Solo' - the cheapest Twin currently being produced is the 'Apollo Twin Duo'. The Duo is still cutting it close for mixing a full project, but it will get you a lot further (especially if you're smart about which plug-ins you use - for example the 'Legacy' version use much less DSP). The Solo is good for using 1 or 2 plug-ins while tracking, but it won't give you enough DSP to load plug-ins across multiple input channels or mix a full project with UAD plug-ins. If you plan on using UAD plug-ins, get the Duo - especially if you plan on recording multiple inputs and want to use plug-ins on each input. Both interfaces have the same I/O, including the digital ADAT input so you can expand with an external preamp. The two interfaces are identical except for the amount of DSP - the Solo has 1 DSP chip, and the Duo has 2 DSP chips.
