I remember using it many, many years ago in a studio I used to work with. It was the star of the studio. Every voice we recorded went through it. Now I have it again!! Indeed, magic.
This thing is awesome as an electric guitar pre-amp also. I have it on full time on the Hi-Z input. I get closer to a clean fender amp sound using this than any other plugin from UA.
When using plugins that have unison tech, are you sacrificing anything by not recording with them on the front end or are you still getting the benefits of the unison by using those plugins post?
The big benefit of Unison is impedance matching - when loaded in a Unison slot the plug-in will change the electrical impedance of the Apollo's preamp to match the hardware being modeled. You won't get that interaction when using the plug-in after the fact, but you still get all of the same tone otherwise.
Great video. I particularly liked the part about using it as a de-esser. Looking at the manual, the side chain link only works when the plugin is in stereo, not in mono. However, if I load a mono plugin using the version of the plugin that requires the hardware, the SC Link light is turned on by default but you can't turn it off. When I use the native version of the plugin, I can't turn the SC Link off. Does that mean the Apollo version is technically disabled but the light is still on when in mono?
I want to use this but I also want to use the distressor and pultec for hiphop vocals, does this unit pretty much make the distressor and pultec unneeded in the chain?
@@UniversalAudio i shazamed it right after I left my comment! They are both dope.. but she is amazing!! ..215salute to them both!! UAD for the win everytime

He was cool n they always get Grieves who’ll serve you and yo friends lol.. Ear to the streets 😂 Yall listening to too much uzi dirt n drakes garbage ass
Your examples suck.... You always way overuse some dude rapping....or talking fast.....how about vocals that are used by the other 95% the musical scene
Have it and every time I go to try using it and I compare it with other plug-ins I end up not using it go figure by the way nobody cares anymore about Beyoncé this one that one use this Plugin it’s so goofy like oh because they use it that means we’re gonna have automatic success. It’s beyond ridiculous, it’s not just you obviously it’s everyone every company advertises all these people that used it it’s so goofy You need to buy it blah blah blah

I was blessed to get much of my early recording experience through this beast. Definitely super glad to have it for myself digitally now 🎉
Hugely helpful-thank you UAD for these inspiring & wonderful products ❤
Very nice thump on that kick sample. I'll be sure to try that out!
I've been looking for videos for this exact plugin. Thank you!

I just demoed this yesterday. Perfect timing! I think I like the Neve 88rs better though. Would like to see a video on that.

Correct
I pretty much mastered GarageBand how can i level up and get serious also what can i do with all these GarageBand ideas on my ipad
I want to use this but I also want to use the distressor and pultec for hiphop vocals, does this unit pretty much make the distressor and pultec unneeded in the chain?
It can. But then again, it might sound better with them all!! 👊🏻 Only way to know is to try.
this was the first thing I got
Ampex "full", 610 and 1084! 🙌🏽😒
Sounds really cool 🔥
Do the API Vision next 👍

Do you have to stay connected to the internet to use spark and can I use ilock account without a dongle? Thanks.
You can use a USB iLok, no internet needed.
@@UniversalAudio can you remove the ilock while creating to have extra port? Thanks
@@Magnetic1908no
Oooh ..the guy with the girl that can sing her ass off. They are dope. I know I heard these vocals before
Nile Waters & Parisalexa - they're great! Check out the link in description for the full track

Can you bypass the mic pre on this like on the hardware?
Yes, it works at "line level" as well.
@@UniversalAudio ok…how would i do it as i want to use my api or neve mic pre but use the eq and compressor on this in unison while tracking my vocals
Just put it in a regular insert.
@@UniversalAudio ok i was trying to use it as a unison to record my vocals through while using the api mic pre
@@UniversalAudio wait i got you just put it in one of the additional spots and set to line level while using the eq and conpression to my liking 👍🏿
Is the technical support still working in the company or does it not give a damn about its customers?
Support aims for 48-72 hr response times, and they do not work weekends so look for a reply within that time frame.
no contact since last Wednesday so it's been well over 72 hours. please don't joke.@@UniversalAudio
What is your ticket #? Happy to look into it for you. Keep in mind Monday was a holiday in the US. So a ticket sent in on Weds hit 72hrs yesterday.
Is it better than the 6176?
No such thing as "better". It's a different flavor of tubes.
❤
Never been a fan of the 737. I’ve been using the real thing for over 20 years and i don’t like that either! 🤷🏿♂️.
I love your marketing videos. But you guys always choose the WORST rappers To use for examples for rap vocals.
Yes. I agree with this. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t have an ear to the streets. Good hip hop is all around.
What is wrong with you? He was dope
He was cool n they always get Grieves who’ll serve you and yo friends lol.. Ear to the streets 😂 Yall listening to too much uzi dirt n drakes garbage ass
at least he is not mumbling.
Your examples suck....
You always way overuse some dude rapping....or talking fast.....how about vocals that are used by the other 95% the musical scene
ok boomer 😩😩
@@bigbossbigfrankyhip hop is the most popular genre now. not sure why anyone has to tell you that
I would love to watch this video but those vocals are totally unbearable
Not the plug in itself, but actual unit: highly overrated. API Vision is way better. Either legacy or new one. I been doing this for long, trust me
It's CPU heavy though.
are you talking about native version?
What are you running. I’ve been running this on unison for years and I’ve had no problems
Have it and every time I go to try using it and I compare it with other plug-ins I end up not using it go figure by the way nobody cares anymore about Beyoncé this one that one use this Plugin it’s so goofy like oh because they use it that means we’re gonna have automatic success.

You need to buy it blah blah blah
