Nice, probably the best demonstration I've seen so far of the Apollo workflow in action. UA has really changed the game with these Apollo's... can't wait to get the 16 one day for drum tracking
Agreed 100%
Same. Search Ebay for a new one, best bet.
Hahaha. No. Buy RME not this redundant trash.
What if producer giving out free beats on RUclips or Dropbox and the rappers take it for free on Dropbox, RUclips and can rappers still get sued or taking their music down for doing that?
what's her name?
the learning curve for audio engineering is your entire life.
Amen.
This Fab guy is VERRYY good at explaining things .. need more videos with him, they’re so informative and interesting!!!
PureMix.net
Puremix
Facts
Agreed he’s fab
sure is. straight to the point. no fluff
If all tutorial videos were like this, I’d never leave RUclips lol. Simple, easy, informative, and very explanative. Not 10 minutes on each thing in a 40min video lol
👍
Please have Fab Dupont do more videos. His pacing, style, and clarity is superb.
I love his total literacy in all the effects, where they originated, the interfaces. He's a master of the form.
Great video! Hey UA, why don't you hire this guy and do an entire series. I learned a lot in less than 15 minutes!
Make more videos about the Apollo Console 2.0 with Fab Dupont. I really liked his no nonsense explanations on how to use this basic mic setup and how the twin works. Excellent!
Ambers voice is Killer , wowwww what an amazing Artist
I have learn more watching this videos that from reading the manual. Fab Dupont is THE man...!!!
DuPont at his best on this AWESOME tutorial making things simple …clear .. fast (top notch for real)
Lifesaver!! Easiest workflow on recording/monitoring with UAD console I've seen so far, Grammy winning engineers really are on another level..
👍🏻
So everybody else, before you do a demo video watch this one. Superb explanation. Concise, efficient and UNDERSTANDABLE!
Fab is giving the best breakdown for beginners. Highly recommended 💯
I saw this video when I first got my Apollo Twin, over a year ago.
Re-watching it a few months later I can clearly see how helpful it is, but not only that how freaking great this Interface is. I would easily say its top 3 for any home studio or developing producers at any skill level.
If you can afford it or find one cheap on the market, I would 100% recommend it!!!!
Won't be disappointed!
😍
Perfectly explained, Fab is the man!
Thanks UA - as I'm new to UA interfaces and have never had an interface of this calibre before, these videos with Fab Dupont are, by far, the most helpful and instructive on how to set up and use my new Apollo X4 than any other RUclips videos I've seen yet, because not only does it help give a sense of the workflow, it explains the functionalities (eg in Console) in much clearer, direct and understandable terms. Love my new Apollo, and can't wait to dive into it more! Please consider making more deep dive Apollo videos with Fab Dupont!
👍🏻
This tutorial is the best video that I have ever seen in my entire life. It literally read the questions inside my head! thank you so much for the quality content.
Wow this stuff always gives me a headache and it still does but this video is definitely the best walkthrough I’ve seen on the Apollo interface. 👍
i can't believe how beautiful this artist voice is, I'm blown away, this track is AMAZING TO ME.
The UA pre suits her velvet voice perfectly. What a difference when compared with the first pre.
Awesome! Great vocals Amber! Fab, as always, you da man!
The most effective tutorial I’ve ever watched on RUclips. He explained very well
Thank you to all those involved in making and posting this beneficial lesson on setup and recording.
Very well explained basics of the console, thanks for that!
Shout out to the artist, she was amazing!
Fab is the man, very knowledgeable
Great into overview. and a very, very nice "ad-hoc" mix session.
I had not listened to Amber Skye before, but was actually tearful listening to her powerful, spiritually-rich vocals. I am an instant fan to be sure, and normally I am much more of a classic rock follower; but there is nothing like true heart as part of a beautifully mixed production. Hope I can hear Amber live someday.
I got an Apollo Duo-Twin earlier this year and really enjoy what I can do with it. Now, just another 10 years of using it and I will be half as good as Fab.
Thanks Guys!
Very nice singing of the Girl. Sounds very clearly 🔥
Excellent demo! Thank you, there's nothing else like this on RUclips, or at least nothing as well described. And Amber is great...and cute!
Great video. This is my main reference video for using my twin.
I am UAD Apollo guy, and I really love everything about it...I have my account, my orders and probably I am going to stay on UAD as long as I breath..and I like the way how Fab explains and do things...
Thanks for the demo, very informative overlook and nice recording from Amber Skye at the end.
Very Professional Thank you guy for showing this piece of hardware....
This is a wonderful instructional video. While the Console software as well as its documentation is complex and deep, this video covers almost everything you need to know to use your UAD Twin or Solo for home recording, unless you have to create multiple monitor mixes or cue sends. There are just a few things I'd add or emphasize:
1. Not all DAWs have "low latency monitoring"; Logic's low latency mode will deactivate some plugins, so don't set that. If you use Logic, you'll also want to disable software monitoring.
2. The UAD Mon / Rec buttons in the monitor strip on the right of the Console window work globally and override whatever setting you choose in the channel strips.
3. Fab covers this in the video, but to emphasize: Effects placed in the channel insert will "print" (record) unless you select "Mon" in either the channel strip or the global monitor strip. Effects placed in the Aux channels *do not print* unless you set up Console and your DAW to record those channels. There are instructions on how to do that in the documentation and on the web, but if you want to incorporate a comfort reverb when tracking, just put it in one of the inserts on an aux channel, point one of your sends to that channel, and blend to taste. You'll hear the reverb when tracking but it won't print to the recorded track in your DAW.
4. The one thing the video leaves out is that there are four views accessible via the buttons located below the "Menu" button in the upper left of the Console display. While the Overview gives essential info about what's going on with the channel, each of the more specific views contains some important info missing from the overview display that you'll need to pay attention to when setting up you input chain. For instance, to record a track with insert effects on, you'll need to click on the "Inserts" view and make sure that "Rec" is selected in the channel strip and "UAD Rec" is on in the monitoring strip.
Recording with the Apollo Twin is really as easy as the video suggests.
Great advice Trent!
Still helpful in 2022!
love the flow of this breakdown. so easy to follow. more of Fab please!
Sounds incredible. Love the way your stuff works
It's untouchable.
I definitely love the Apollo twin
Beautiful song!!
Thanks for this very straightforward intro to the Apollo. I'm a newbie and find your videos helpful!
So glad to hear it Joni!
Very happy with the time and effort made for this tutorial. Good Stuff!
Hi Fab - I have just purchased the Apollo solo and I found this video the most informative video so far. Thank you for your very practical explanations and demonstrations of the Apollo's key features - brilliant work indeed
Fantastic singer!!!!!
I'd be damned if the recording at the end is actually a live signal. It is so clean and impressive for a mic that is set in the open.
Farvez Afridi I’m pretty sure it’s prerecorded.
They are demoing a workflow, not a mic.
My thoughts exactly
Antonio Banderas crushing it for Apollo! Great video and insanely helpful. Ty
I'm not gonna lie this was the best testing of this interface I have seen on youtube. All the others never hit the points as clearly as you do. Thank you
👍
Great Demo/Tutorial, not too fast or too slow and easy to follow.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
great demo!
Very clear and concise instruction, Fab has an excellent way of giving the info!
I love how practical this tutorial was. Love my twin guys! :)
2020 still using and learning about my dope interface!
Vini Manara what specific model do you recommend? the X, the quad or is the duo enough?
Calciumchlorid depends on how many UAD plugins and which UAD plugins you wanna use in your daw
the microphone is: Lauten Audio Atlantis FC-387
this is beyond the best review format for a product. thanks! and great vid
Exactly what I needed after picking up a twin! Thanks for the very well done video!
Great singer!
and a damn fine one too
1:41 seeing this headphone cable hurts me
Imagine how the cable felt. >
.... and off I go to fix mine lol.
LOL Seeing your comment made me LaughOutLoud
best review/demo of this I have seen so far. very well explained.
Amazing Video on an Amazing product. Fab is my favorite UAD representative and the Amber Red girl can really SANG!! This video is still very relative 8 years later.
I'm a new fan of Amber
+Anthony Crawford ; Me too, She's a fantastic singer.
+Anthony Crawford damn man. she KILLED that! a true vocal pro indeed.
Anthony Crawford legit
pretty face pretty voice
She's really good!
Wow! Dude Should be a professor! This is so helpful, just got a Twin, I will never record another album without a UAD interface! Never! The UAD mic pres are the best in the world period!
Am sold! Love the look, love the workflow - it's just what I need...
"Can I get more reverb?"
*5 Minute Lecture Follows*
i use the knob...
😂😂😂
Excellent video, the guy's a great instructor. Well done, UA!
If We could all sing like Amber no one would have a day job.... Nice equipment for recording too!
Actually we all would bc it wouldn’t be special anymore
i watched this video about 72 times lol
Love this video. Fab is always on point, and Amber's voice is fantastic. Similar timbre to Sarah McLachlan, one of my fav singers.
bad ass Fab..another excellent Dupont tutorial and overview.
So when does this song come out?
I admire him sound engineer, good handsome
That is amazing! I love the Apollo twins
Good vid guys. I'm picking up a mkii this week and needed a clear explanation of the basics. Thanks!
lol background vocals magically appeared!
+AMADEUZ Connected apparently they were already recorded with the backing track...
You seems you don't understand the video. Background vocals don't appeared magically, If you noticed this is an Universal Audio Tutorial for us. They just recorded it as a presentation of the Twin Hardware and Software, and also they took the advantage to Introduced her and her music. They'r smart to kill two birds with one shot.
Samething I said. She made this song on a different day lol
AMADEUZ Connected its a backing track! Dummy!
Those are backing vocals.. lol. It's not magic. The one she's singing is the main lead vocal.
I’m in love with Amber... just saying.
I've had the Apollo Twin since 2017. I just learnt through this video that the power supply can be locked. And there I was thinking I had a glitch in my cable!! Thanks FAB!
Should've RTFM'd :-)
Beautiful vocals!
why my output monitor dont show in my apollo twin console mixer?
if you have a version of this for windows I would have already bought it :(
That atlantis is pure magic. I wish I had one in my arsenal
Nice, and also good to hear it through high-quality music-making.
Great Singing// where i can find that song?!?!
👆
damn she made this magic without a POP FILTER?! 😂😩
No its recordet before. its actually all faked.
This is really helpful. Such an engaging way to present it as well.
I am just messing around looking at all these cool creative tools we have to make music (boring business guy in real life) don't understand match of it either. This guy is doing the absolute best job of showing how to do "this" I have ever seen.
no pop filter though
not all mics need a pop filter
AFINO not all mic *placements need a pop filter. All large diaphragm condensers, unless they have one built in, need a pop filter if the vocalist is a few inches back and singing directly into the mike. Slightly off-axis placements, or moving the person further back, can negate the need for a pop filter.
Just as a PSA, pop filters aren't some magic plosive-stopping thing. Literally all they do is prevent excess, ugly-sounding air from getting to the mic capsule. If that air isn't gonna get there anyway, you don't need a pop filter
does the ring mean she's kinda married, but not really?
LOL... Er - guys - we're supposed to be paying attention to the Apollo!
5:38
seen this so many times but just paid attention to the vocalist and her lyrics...omg!!!
Most helpful. Really pleased I found you and great job Amber :)
No way the audio sounds that way raw.. the Audio is totally mastered....???
Hmmm
+D&R Music Recordings Final audio for the video is likely mastered. But that's because it's RUclips. It would be amateur not to always master your published video, especially when you're Universal Audio.
that's what im saying. lol. They're trying to trick the beginner's into buying there shit.
AMADEUZ Connected The mic is pretty legit though. Great sound. I've heard a few demos of it here and there and was generally impressed by it's tonal range.
+Ronnie Perez what mic is it? didn't recognize
naturecollision Lauten Audio Atlantis. Awesome mic. The more I hear it in action, the more I like it. :)
Plus @ 1,500 or so, not bad at all.
What a beautifull woman! :O
One great thing about the UAD videos is that, not only is the sound amazing, they have great artists, too! Either that, or they just make everyone sound good. Think it's a bit of both. That song is as impressive as Unison sound.
dope video very informative in all the areas where I was shaky! you sold me on this unit. Great tutorial on how to use the software much-appreciated brother
With the new console those old plugin guis look even more embarrassing than ever before. Each time I see RealVerb I just want to rip my eyes out.
I get that they want people to upgrade to the new plugins but still, I don't get how they can ship those things in 2015.
+Henrik Petersson (Fruitful Life) The reverb actually sounds fine. Most reverbs do. But yeah, I have bad associations with trying to make that RealVerb work for me.. lol
What about 2019? :)
that girl is so HOT
Fuck yeah she is!!
This tutorial is amazing thanks for posting. I’ve been using the Scarlett and m-audio interfaces and would like to step up my game,this will be of great help when I purchase my Apollo twin
Man U are the first person that explain everything love this video
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!
