access and route the audio signals at Apollo Solo’s inputs and outputs.
Specifying the Audio Interface Device

device driver is Universal Audio Thunderbolt.
The methods for specifying the audio interface hardware device, and the name of the
setting, are different for each DAW. Examples of how to specify the audio interface
