More like this please. I feel like there is so much more under the hood of the Apollo that can be learned.
So informative for a new Apollo owner. Also, I have to say that their chemistry makes this educational video very enjoyable!
She is amazing...im on Luna for 3 months now...love it
how many track does luna have and is is better than pro tools?
this video is long overdue. I eventually figured much of this out through a ton of different articles and videos. thanks UA. switching to the X4 was the most valuable upgrade for my projects.
More like this. Fabtastic and inspiring for people like me who have the gear, but are stuck trying to get ourselves to actually start recording.
This guy really makes me proud of buying and using my twin x and Luna
I have to say Fab is an amazing teacher🙌🏾. He has has such a great way of explaining things really well in a simplistic and easy to digest way. Thank you. This video has been a great help.
I wish there was a step by step course taught by him. I'd buy it right now!
Love it. Plenty of humour and learning in this one. 22:15
Michelle, "Danger Express.."
Fab, "That's what they call me in high school."
Fab is such a great teacher. Is there an in depth, step by step Luna course available? Long time Logic user here but I'm seriously interested in Luna. Oh and btw... Michelle is awesome. Love her music!!
❤️🙏
I was hoping to find an answer to getting a Step by Step LUNA course. Argggh.
@@oluwaseyigrey7683 Steve Kinney has some great videos here that show a lot of the how-to recording/mixing functions of UA and Luna, both basic and advanced. Start there. UAD also released a numbered series on Apollo & UAD devices. I started with #1 & kept watching until I could make some basic recordings. All available on youtube
@@kentdemonbreun6047 Thank you. 'Will do. I'm just super used to the Logic interface. Hence, when I open LUNA, I do seem pretty lost.
I'll watch 'em videos though. Thanks again.
@@oluwaseyigrey7683 best of luck my friend. The interface is very different, and definitely a learning curve involved, but it is a very well thought out & really robust system. I have stopped using everything else but Luna for all my mixes going forward. Some days its a challenge, but I have gotten some really great mixes so far
Fantastic explanation of how the UA hardware and software work. Straight forward, easy to understand, and incredibly well presented. One of the best tutorials on ANYTHING I've seen in a long time. Thanks!
This is by far one of the best videos I've seen so far on the subject!
Great tutorial video! And.... I love how the mic also picked up the very light sound of his fingers on the MIDI-keyboard, playing the synth parts... You can hear the rhythmical timbre very light in the recording 🙂
Amazing video ! Very instructive. Nice to se Fab back BTW
That song is really really nice! Beautiful voice too! And the video is very interesting. Well done, guys!
🙏
Thanks for great tutorial. Finaly I have found an interface that gives me all I need and I can also use it for live performance with effects and no latency on it, that's amazing
Great video. Beautiful song and performance at the end too!
🙏❤️ Thanks!
This was so helpful! I had far too many concept errors as I read through forums on LUNA and my Apollo interface.
nice throw back video to the original apollo twin promo video! i feel like this is a reset for UAD! I'm excited for the future..
Fab is such a talented human being!
Been Watching Fab since Puremix Net days early days. He is the MAN
Wait a minute when you say Luna Apollo and console are all one. What’s the benefit over logic? You’re making it sound like I shouldn’t use logic and now I gotta switch and use Luna which I don’t feel like switching daws learning and downloading and spending hours screwing around. I’m already in logic. Can logic be one with console and Apollo the way Luna can? I see it’s similar but still.
This was such an in depth review and a very powerful performance!
👍🏻
What sets Universal Audio apart from competitors is the amount of demo or final mixes of what the interface sounds like in action. That in addition to Fab's countless videos showcasing how to use the UA products.
very helpful for a refresher/beginner on the Apollo interface. And Michelle definitely has a new fan.
I love her song and all of this explanation of the interface to
Lovely video, and beautiful performance at the end! 😊♥️
Thank you! You should check out the studio version from Just One Voice 🙏
Incredible walkthrough but that performance at the end was amazing!!
Fab is a master even in teaching. Imagine being he's assistant. Damn how lucky that guy is. This man makes you a pro the first class.
Very very helpful for absolute enthusiasts! (beginners) 🙃 Love 'Green gray'😍
Amazing! Thanks for updating from previous video. I love LUNA it’s my go to DAW now 🔥🔥
👍🏻
Fantastic. Great to see the product of two great talents in the end of this video. Beautiful. Thanks for teaching and rewarding us with your gift.
🥂
Finally an updated video
Great music! I love my Apollo Twin X as a versatile interface, but I highly recommend adding a good external microphone pre (Neve, Great River, Daking, etc) if possible -- esp. for pop and rock recording. The difference is striking.
The hardware or software?
but how can you add external pre..the line inputs is a combo jack and it does not bybass the preamp in real terms..i have apollo twin mkii..and i am also looking to buy an external pre..please suggest how to do it..cant find the videos..
@@joohad Hardware. I use a Great River MP-2NV as the front end.
@@amonchhetri1053 The line input passes through the Apollo’s preamp, so while not a perfect straight wire, when set to zero (+10dB) the internal preamp’s affect on the signal is arguably minimal (input THD at -114dB). In practice, the sound and transient response of my external preamp are very much evident.
@@tanukibrahmayou can run from the pre into the Apollo, yes?
ooo the performance at the end ! i wish i could sit and ask more questions just installing apollo
This is such a great video! I appreciate that he used Oxide, too.
Very good video, I am kind sad the end you also didn't show how the reverb works with Logic though. It would have been nice to see. But tnx for the info.
Great video! What about singing live and monitoring through the studio monitors? Is there feedback or latency errors when hearing yourself live through them? Thank you 💪
Excellent video. When is Luna going to release on Windows?
Great video, thanks. BTW where can I buy beautiful session desk you have? Thank you for info
she got a great voice🔥🔥
🙏❤️ Green Grey has an official music video you can check out too!
Great video! Very informative and entertaining. Michelle is simply AWESOME!!
👍🏻
Muy clara la experiencia de grabación! Lo adquiero pronto! Gracias 🎉
New to the Apollo fam game change absolutely no question ask but this class so helpful Gracias ❤
Excellent! A truly fab demo! Thank you and very well done
Michelle gets all the credit.
❤️
I love this. You two are terrific together. Fab is a great teacher, and Michelle you are amazing to listen to. UA...any word on LUNA for Windows Apollo TWIN USB yet?
Thanks for the video! Couple of things. Firstly, what’s the DSP % on the Twin running at with all the plugins running, I’m surprised a Twin could do that. Secondly, I would favour turning low latency monitoring and input monitoring off when recording when all the plugins are in the Apollo. You only need low latency switched on in the DAW if using any plugins on the computer at the time of recording. So, input monitoring off, not low latency monitoring on, in that case. Thanks again.
Yeah Twin QUAD is powerful!! Direct monitoring from Console is the lowest latency.
Oh Jeez! I deleted LUNA. I didn't realize the LUNA and Console interfaced with each other..? Good information.
Amazing! I record my vocals with an Apollo Twin + SM7B Mic. Are you using something like a cloud lifter for this? I don't and have never had problems recording without it, but I am wondering if I could get more out of the pre-amp (I am mostly using the UAD Neve 1084) if I would use a cloud lifter or something similar?
i like how they become friends near the end.
Not sure if these comment are still being read by UA, so you can record "vocals" in Rec and Mon modes, but since this is all software connected to a computer, is it possible to record vocals in "both" modes, say you dig the Rec mode processing setup, but you are not sure, but want the safety of Mon mode. Is there a way to choose after as well, is my question. Ref in the 7min mark in the video.
Damn y'all killin' it with these vids. The Apollo FB group really needs to watch this haha
👍🏻
This is a top notch, getting in the weeds, tutorial. I’ll echo (echo echo) whats said in other comments - more please!
She’s got an amazing voice 👌🔥
Great video. I just purchased the x4 and getting close to using it. I read somewhere the other day that Luna does not support 3rd party plugins but you mention that you can pull in synths so that makes me think 3rd party plugins can be used. Can you enlighten me on this?
So, if a guitarist wanted to use say Helix Native with low latency monitoring - would that go in console (or is that UA only) - or does it work in Luna - or does it matter for non UA plugins?
Awesome singer, wurlyplayer and songwriter. ✌🏼
Great video and beautiful sound! I must admit I have watched it more than once already! I have an Apollo x4 and it's amazing! Thanks for the inspiration!
So glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are always life savers! I have my apollo twin hooked up to a great river preamp. All of the sudden when I set to LINE level (preamp connected to Apollo twin via 1/4 set to input) the PHANTOM POWER will not turn on. If I set it to MIC level - phantom turns on. What am I doing wrong ? :( thank you!
Good morning ! I recently purchased an Apollo Twin x Duo, very nice. I wanted to ask if it is possible to record a stereo reverb from the console window to any DAW. if I put it in insert it records in mono, if I put it in aux it cannot be recorded. Am I doing something wrong? A thousand thanks . great !!!!!
Hi, thanks! Luna for Windows? We will be happy if
Hey, thank's for Video. Which microphone was used to make this recording?
This helped so much! Great video!
Thanks Fab for such a great video!
👍🏻
God, this would have saved me so much time years ago 😂 so glad it exists now, thank you!
🥂
great video: can You make a video on how to set up virtual channels on APOLLO TWIN X USB WINDOWS please thanks
why does Apollo switch between programs? I would like to hear myself with FL Studio Vocal Chain on RUclips! how do I do that
That was bananas! 🍌 🍌 🍌 Fab is the goat
Fab at-a-boy! UA forever Guys!) Peace!
“That’s not true” 😂😂😂
Great video!
Marvelous, Michelle!
Great teaching and performance❤
Fab what is your MIDI keyboard plugged into? The DAW or the Twin ?
Really cool guys! Thank you so much for this!
this was so well done and informative, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!!
So here is where I wonder about the whole spark native thing and all the buzz about using interfaces other than Apollo, how can the plugs compare without the hardware
I’m good with my Apollo X and my new X6
If ones uses the plugins only for mixing, the spark thing can suffice, but if you love to record with unison, you will always need an apollo. What spark may make obsolete are the expansion dsp boxes.
I use rack Apollos, but there are lots of different interfaces up and down the food chain that are useful for different reasons. Maybe you want an interface with (arguably) better converters than Apollo, like a Lynx Aurora(n). Or maybe you already own a small portable unit like an M-Track for using soft synths with a laptop at gigs. Or you're sketching song ideas at a friends place without the larger gear. They're smaller and cheaper than an Apollo Twin-and they have MIDI. But without the UADx versions, no Apollo was a no-go in these situations. I'd happily use UADx in these settings because tracking a vocal with just a scooch of 1176 sounds better than nothing.
Very informative video! What is the midi keyboard that Fab is using?
I believe is CME Xkey Air 37
Did she use a cloudlifter on those SM7B, or there's no need?
cool to see you Fab
I just bought a Universal Audio Apollo Twin X Duo 3 Audio Interface. I'm using this for tracking profesional vocals with my U87ai and Avalon AD 2022 mic preamp. I will be using your LA-2A classic collection plugins on my vocals. I will be sending to a studio for mixing. I bought a Mac mini Desktop Late 2014 | 3.0 i7 16GB 256 SSD PCIE. Is that powerful enough for my sessions?
Sure, that'll do just fine.
@@UniversalAudio do i have to get a thunderbolt convertor of some sort?
Yes, you'll need Apple TB2-3 converter and a TB2 cable.
@@UniversalAudio if i decide to do professional mixing, will my mac mini be powerful enough? will i need to upgrade my apollo rig? my final question.
A 2014 Mac Mini is a bit on the older side for serious mixing. Especially when you look at these new Apple silicon machines. You'll know when you need it!😁
What about the tempo on left side ? Do you have to set it to the tempo to your session in let’s say for example pro tools when your recording? Or what is that for ?
how did you plug two headphones into the interface ? some spliter ? btw nice video !
Excellent session i learn a lot ! Thanks ❤
Where can I get that Wireless Bluetooth MIDI Controller from? That’s awesome
Good work Fab !!!!! To the point Frenchy:)
I've spent the last few hours trying register my Apollo x4 but when I switch it on, no lights come on the unit, the green light is on the power connection. Your support page doesn't have any answers and I can't find an online tutorial that addresses the issue. I know my thunderbolt cable is good because my Dread 65 & Ruby connect with it.
Also, I have successfully downloaded the Console, UAD Meter, and Luna applications
Yes!! More Fab!!
I feel like you shouldn’t be recording at levels comparable to completely mixed/mastered tracks from Spotify?
Fab is Fab!
GREAT VIDEO, please can you tell me the brand of the monitor ? genelec ? thanks
IK Micro Monitors.
Do all of the plugins shown in this video come standard?
No. To see what comes with each Apollo, see here: help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/209535566-UAD-2-Apollo-Plug-In-Bundles-Explained
thank you so much! very very helpful
QUESTION! Excuse my ignorance :)
Why is my dip still countin/grunning out even when im using the plugins on my daw? is that normal ?
Is this the duo or the quad?
Love the old school vibe .
Wurli sounds nice - was it plugged directly into the Apollo or via a micd amp?
Yup!! Direct!
Michelle killed it!
❤️🙏
Sold, thanks… ❤
I like my Apollo x4 but why I can't adjust the headphone volume inside the console software like the main volume, just give me two more wheels like the monitor volume knob! pls
Hello, UAD, U put instructions on how to install and use Apollo twin x in MacBook Pro M1 pro and Monterey, please upload a video strat to end for this process, so we can do it with right way without any issues. Thanks
Just a tip here - if you are doing any serious music making on a Mac, using the latest OS is always a bad idea - I made the mistake of jumping to the latest OS before and regretted it. I am a heavy Native Instruments, UAD, and Arturia user - and I have found you always have to give them time to make sure the new OS has all the issues worked out. I am still running Luna on Big Sur at this point.
@@Joel_Powell I see your point but sometimes, especially when you buy Apple products, they come pre-installed with the latest OS. I didn’t have a choice when I got mine. But yeah, given a choice I would not have opted to update the OS until things get stable.
@@Joel_Powell when you by a new Mac laptop the new os is pre installed
@@1eidji652 You can downgrade an M1 from Monterey to Big Sur easily. Most products are working fine with Monterey now to be clear, but it's an easy process to downgrade if you need to.
@@hafizimranYT You can downgrade a new system from Monterey to Big Sur easily (you can't go any further back with an M1 however since Big Sur was the first M1 supported version. Good luck!
