It's got to suck...PG doesn't give a crap about their users. Can't use an EQ and chorus on the spark 40. Way too much bass! Only one channel on the spark cabinet even though there is a XLR and guitar input. what a waste...they got me once. I returned the cabinet....never again!

well I don't know

Nice! 👏👏👏

Nice!

The reason they have said nothing could be that you don’t get many views on your videos. Start getting over 10000 and they’ll take notice. 1000 or so views are all over RUclips. I like your videos so am surprised you don’t have more views.

15 mics on a drum set and the the Gitar sound through some Digital apparatus? Sort of defies the sense of ot all? 😮😢😅😂

Tasty

Your point on SHARC doesn't make a whole lot of sense. So what if the architecture has been around since the 90's? X86 has been around longer and the "more modern ARM processing architecture" you mention predates SHARC by almost a decade. Lke Intel, AMD and ARM, ADI don't stand still when it comes to updating their processors. Any company that develops an eco-system around a given DSP architecture isn't going to change that completely just because there are ignorant people out there who know absolutely nothing whatsoever about how these systems work, want them to. The development cost is prohibitive. It's bitter pill to swallow? Why? You don't have the first idea what in a SHARC, let alone what's different from what ADI are offering today as opposed to what they offered in the 90's. You mention FPGA like it's some panacea yet you admit you don't even know what it is. The UA Sharc doesn't what it's supposed to in the system it's designed into. Since it does that, there's no reason to change it.

Where does it say anywhere the AD and pre amps have been upgraded? I can’t find it anywhere :(

I have 2 columns and tested with in-ear monitors but it’s clipping and sometimes either the bass or guitar drops the volumes 😕 I don’t know how to fix it

Thank you. I am a Logic Pro user and am planning to add an XL-Desk to my project studio. Do you still see a place for this controller if someone has an analog board like the XL-Desk?

Will I still be able to daisy chain my existing twin x with the new generation rack mount?

are you running a mono to stereo 1/4 in on the output to your mixer? im new to this & im trying to figure out how to run it in stereo - is it as simple as the cable or would i need a second pedal?

does it work under linux?

naw sounds like a cash grab. not enough to ditch an older apollo x

Everyone is saying it’s ‘better’ but by how much?! Like based on the specs it’s like 1-2db better dynamic range and less distortion, the headphone outputs actually look significantly better though, but i don’t care about good headphone outputs I’d rather have good clean inputs which i already feel i have in gen 1. I’d love to see someone do a true A/B test with the gen 1 and gen 2. Or even better across a few generations of Apollo interfaces. Show unison pres throughout the ages, show how it responds to dynamics by having a singer scream/belt into it and then whisper and how clean it all is when the gain is cranked. Who how the unison pres hold up with the various plugins. So many videos are just going over the specs like i can go to the website for that. That being said i do like that you go into a bit more detail than other videos. But I’d like to see things stepped up a bit.

Note: thunderbolt cable NOT included on a $5000 interface. Let that sink in.

Theres no better A to D. The only hardware change is the OUTPUT converters

hmmm! i don't know about this one scooby. i would take antelope or apogee over this everyday of every other day of the week. not much to be impressed by, if at all. cool demo jam, doe.

In my opinion UA is going to regret this damn decision to hang on to ancient DSP chips in 2024 because it will be a tough pill 💊 for many of us existing Apollo users. They could have at least bumped the number of chips by two at every Apollo level. So I'm not buying their story at all. I also feel like recording with plugins is way overated. I'm done with Apollos and will be going with RME for my next interface.

You’re saying better microphone preamps and A/d but I don’t think that’s true. None of that is stated anywhere and Apollo has said only D/A and headphone amp. This has been the most vague release ever the only information they’re giving is pretty much like it’s a software update mostly.

James , Waiting for SSL console. We got Neve and API ,now we need the SSL . thnx

I‘m sorry, could you provide a press release mentioning updates to the preamps or the A/D converters? Every official release I’ve read only mentions new D/A

How about sound quality comparison between the Antelope discrete behind you?

nice review, well done!

Holy moley 😮 Great stuff!

People keep confusing the chip with the architecture. SHARC or Super Harvard Architecture Single-Chip Computer does indeed date to 1994. However, even though the ARM family of chips was introduced in 2011, they are based on RISC (reduced instruction set computer) architecture which was commercialized in the early 1980s and the concept goes back even further to the 1960s. ARM is not optimized for DSP (digital signal processing) it is optimized for low power consumption. DSPs are usually optimized for streaming data and use special memory architectures that are able to fetch multiple data or instructions at the same time, such as the Harvard architecture or Modified von Neumann architecture, which use separate program and data memories. SHARC DSP is current technology and is being deployed in new cars and commercial jet cockpits as I type this comment. UAD is just not using the latest generation of SHARC.

Looks amazing. Any way this works with Logic Pro for iPad also?

Thanks for the video🙌👍🏻

Why do ALL young people want to play only distortion

Just watched someone run base and guitar simultaneously -You seem to suggest otherwise...

@TSR - Jivey Talks Tech Man you did a fantastic job on this video. You Sir have earned my Sub. On the spark Live I think I am going to buy it as A practice amp. I think it shines at that and it's easy to pop in the car and carry to my mates house for a jam session. That IMHO beats lugging around 2 4x12 cabs and my amp head. Plus if i want to get a lil late night practice in I am not having the law called on me for waking the entire Neighborhood lol

so tempting but can't find one in canada.

I think I will try one

Very good vid Sontronics KSM 137 Lewitt Slate

It's almost perfect for what it is. Small and easy to move. No ground lift or DI

nice recording! excellent singing!

That solo at the first was ...bad....just play chords

Thank you for being so careful and honest in your review. Other reviewers (promoters) fail to explain that the only channel #1 has amp simulation. I so close to buying one for tiny gigs with vocal, guitar, bass and keyboard/backing music. I am sure that the bass input issue can be overcome (Eg: Boss Katana Go) but why the misrepresentation from other RUclipsrs?

Brilliant. Thank you for the amazing tip. I've used SD for so long and never even thought about trying it. Seems straightforward enough and the results with a few tweaks are spot on!

Amazing place, thanks for the tour!

Very impressive. Thanks so much for sharing! -chaz

Buying one after seeing this video

You passed the grail somewhere in section 6B. What’s in the WC room, wireless controllers? Good Thomes.

Holy ring a ding ding 😲 I need to pay a visit to Thomann. Great Video. 🔥👏👍🏻

I have the Avantone clone. I use it in mono. I quite like it for A / B. Got the recommendation from the Mike Senior book.

I want to see if it’ll work with Logic Pro 8? I mean it’s mappable right? Right!

Doesn’t it bother you the fader all the way to the left?

Can it do plugins like Diva and Serum?

Why isn't my signal coming out in stereo? I am running my stereo device into the left and right into the left and right inputs properly into the back but my signals are being summed to mono (yes my spark is being placed in landscape/stereo position) If this is normal it's a huge deal breaker and very misleading I've already returned my Spark cab because of its limited mono only capability but truly believed that this was a true stereo system that I could use for running my other guitar modelers through in stereo I sell tons of spark gear at the music store that I work at because of my fondness of it but if this isn't capable of stereo through external inputs I will be encouraging my customers to follow my lead with returning theirs within their return window timeframe Major oversight on positive grids part I seriously hope I'm wrong about this but if I'm not This thing's going back to the store I work at & where I bought it
