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!
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."
Great video! I get the feeling she already knows everything Fab is explaining. Gracious audience.
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.
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?
Amazing video ! Very instructive. Nice to se Fab back BTW
This guy really makes me proud of buying and using my twin x and Luna
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!
Excellent video, clear explanations. Thank you! And what a gorgeous song and performance as a bonus, Michelle!
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!
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
@@kwd6047 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
Fab, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a very good educator. I benefit a lot from your videos. Instead of watching dozens of product promotions etc. videos, I find the real information I am looking for with you. Also, love to Michelle. She has great talent and a great voice...
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 🙂
Great video. Beautiful song and performance at the end too!
🙏❤️ Thanks!
1) Thank you for this video UA. I’m growing my production setup and I really wanted a better ecosystem. Your products solve a lot of my problems. 2) The song was awesome at the end 🔥
Thoroughly enjoyed, thanks!
That song is really really nice! Beautiful voice too! And the video is very interesting. Well done, guys!
🙏
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.
🥂
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.
This video put my mind at ease after learning about the digital aspect of owning an Apollo product. Have the same one in the way!
Lovely video, and beautiful performance at the end! 😊♥️
Thank you! You should check out the studio version from Just One Voice 🙏
This was such an in depth review and a very powerful performance!
👍🏻
Really cool guys! Thank you so much for this!
Finally an updated video
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..
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
very helpful for a refresher/beginner on the Apollo interface. And Michelle definitely has a new fan.
Fab is such a talented human being!
Been Watching Fab since Puremix Net days early days. He is the MAN
Incredible walkthrough but that performance at the end was amazing!!
That was bananas! 🍌 🍌 🍌 Fab is the goat
This was so helpful! I had far too many concept errors as I read through forums on LUNA and my Apollo interface.
Great video! Very informative and entertaining. Michelle is simply AWESOME!!
👍🏻
Amazing! Thanks for updating from previous video. I love LUNA it’s my go to DAW now 🔥🔥
👍🏻
Damn y'all killin' it with these vids. The Apollo FB group really needs to watch this haha
👍🏻
Very very helpful for absolute enthusiasts! (beginners) 🙃 Love 'Green gray'😍
This video is great. So helpful. It gives me confidence in my recording abilities. Are there more videos like this?
“That’s not true” 😂😂😂
Great video!
This is such a great video! I appreciate that he used Oxide, too.
ooo the performance at the end ! i wish i could sit and ask more questions just installing apollo
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.
I love her song and all of this explanation of the interface to
Excellent! A truly fab demo! Thank you and very well done
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?
Marvelous, Michelle!
she got a great voice🔥🔥
🙏❤️ Green Grey has an official music video you can check out too!
God, this would have saved me so much time years ago 😂 so glad it exists now, thank you!
🥂
Muy clara la experiencia de grabación! Lo adquiero pronto! Gracias 🎉
Thanks Fab for such a great video!
👍🏻
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?
Yes!! More Fab!!
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!
Yoooooooooo! Great song!
Thanks! The music video is released, if you'd like to check it out ❤️
Very informative video! What is the midi keyboard that Fab is using?
I believe is CME Xkey Air 37
Michelle gets all the credit.
❤️
New to the Apollo fam game change absolutely no question ask but this class so helpful Gracias ❤
This helped so much! Great video!
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?
Great teaching and performance❤
This is a top notch, getting in the weeds, tutorial. I’ll echo (echo echo) whats said in other comments - more please!
Good work Fab !!!!! To the point Frenchy:)
this was so well done and informative, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!!
Where can I get that Wireless Bluetooth MIDI Controller from? That’s awesome
i like how they become friends near the end.
Awesome singer, wurlyplayer and songwriter. ✌🏼
She’s got an amazing voice 👌🔥
Great stuff, I'm a big fan of UA and I just bought the apollo twin x and so excited to get started I am using studio one 6 pro, through my M1 Mac, have an account with AU bought about 10 plug ins. I tried to hook up the console and my computer isn't recognizing the apollo. I'm looking forward to getting it p and running. I know it's going to be a learning curve but I'm watching all AUs videos, my question is, by chance if I bought a bad console private sale, can AU repair the console? The only reason was the studio had upgraded, and I bought it for 500 dollars. It's quite the investment for a non-working piece of gear. Big thanks and I hit the sub plus rang the bell.
Fab at-a-boy! UA forever Guys!) Peace!
Hi, thanks! Luna for Windows? We will be happy if
cool to see you Fab
How do I connect it to my Logic Pro ?
Excellent session i learn a lot ! Thanks ❤
Great tennis tutorial Roger Federer 😂
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.
Michelle killed it!
❤️🙏
Fab is Fab!
WOW....BRAVISSIMA SINGER &WURLIPLAYER🎉
Great video, thanks. BTW where can I buy beautiful session desk you have? Thank you for info
thank you so much! very very helpful
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 💪
I need a plug-in for QWERTY keyboard to play in first . Where can I find it?
Excellent video. When is Luna going to release on Windows?
I have a question?
Why the two recording channels? Whats a wyrli?
2 channels for stereo. Whurlitzer.
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.
Excellent video.
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.
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!
Thank you so so much for this 👏
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 !!!!!
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?
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.
What’s the best headphone splitter for the Twin X??
I don’t need the X4 , it is overkill for my setup
wow ,i love it
Question for UAD or anyone: Given the wire limits on Thunderbolt, I was considering optical. But the new Apollo Twin X Quad only has 'optical in'; no 'optical out.' Is there some logic to that? Perhaps a page that covers setup for very long Thunderbolt wire runs (with repeaters?) or the details of setting up optical.
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 ?
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?
Thanks for sharing fab :)
Hey, thank's for Video. Which microphone was used to make this recording?
Oh Jeez! I deleted LUNA. I didn't realize the LUNA and Console interfaced with each other..? Good information.
