    Good walk through. Im back in the market for an interface. I had a Twin back in 2019 so im a little invested in UA and im almost set on a twin or x4 but this Apogee looks slick. I had the first Duet and it was a game changer. Im just torn because for what you pay you dont get enough analog outputs compared to the Twin or for a few hundred more you can get 6 outputs and 4 inputs with the X4. I just picked up a TLM 103 too. I know that Mic + Apogee combo will be killer. Really torn rn.

      Mike Sick!! What up fam! What did you choose? Remember the Apogee has optical out and in so you can expand it. But that means you gotta buy something else. I would get the x4 over the symphony (it’s hard to beat 4 inputs and all those outputs built in) but I would get the symphony over the twin. If you can’t decide, you can come to the stu one of these days and test them out.

I now don't want it !!!! lol nice job ! you just cost me money .. Update: Mmmm so I noticed UAD are releasing bit by bit the native versions of the Plugins, so maybe just maybe all my purchased Plugins over the years will be Native, then I can move out of their ecosystem without losing all that investment, and buy this unit! mmmmm

    It might be the best sounding interface, but I’m not sure it’s the best because of the limited I/O. The rack mount should be better.

  • @AOEarlobe
    @AOEarlobe Год назад +2

    Apogee Symphony is an amazing interface. I had the Firewire and the Thunderbolt versions. They were amazing.. the DAC's are Quilty! I would switch back if I did not invest in the UAD X range of hardware ( I needed more I/O, you could not run 2 together at the time).. However, Desktop versions are great for small modular/travel setups. I never go anywhere 😁! I would point out that once your in an eco system, it is hard to break free from it. Do you think Apogee will release a satellite box, that will run plugins only? Or has the Apple M1 killed of DSP for good?

    Great video bro!! I have the Symphony Desktop and the Apollo X4. You’re right the uad plugins are hard to leave. I wish apogee had some type of auto tune plug-in that I could direct monitor at least. Sound wise I love the vocals I get out of the apogee but I gotta say I prefer the playback audio on the Apollo, it’s a thicker more “analog” sound. The apogee stereo field has tons of separation but the Apollo is louder and thicker which is good for mixing hip hop and pop imo i mostly use the x4 but I kept the apogee though because I do love it. And yeah that Knob is the best 🤣

    • @ZndBornMixedIt
      @ZndBornMixedIt  Год назад

      😂 Yea man I keep going back and forth about that. Wish I kept both converters for that reason. Really I would pair the Symphony with something like a Burl B2 to get it all. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Someday. 😂

    You should check out the antelope audio zen q, similar specs, with more dsp & a larger plugin selection to compete with the apollo.
    Also its thunderbolt 3 (or usb 3) and bus powered, but you can still use dedicated power as well.
    I am aware that similar specs doesn’t mean they will sound the same, but I have heard countless positive review's.
    and in my experience with the “Zen - tour“ the conversion was phenomenal, and the preamps were super clean. & you can use vintage emulations to add the desired color if needed.
