A Complete Analog Studio with Realtime
UAD Plug-In Processing
Imagine having access to a classic analog recording
studio, right on your desktop. Apollo Twin USB
lets you record and mix through the full range of
UAD Powered Plug-Ins — including vintage EQs,
compressors, reverbs, tape machines and more — at
near-zero latency, regardless of your audio software
buffer size.
The key to its analog magic is onboard UAD-2 DUO
DSP Processing, which powers the UAD plug-ins
while reducing the strain on your host CPU. Apollo
Twin USB includes the “Realtime Analog Classics”
plug-in bundle.
Track Through Classic Preamps Using Unison™ Technology
Unison technology allows Apollo’sTwin USB’s mic preamps and front-panel DI to sound
and behave like the world’s most sought-after tube and solid state preamps, guitar
amps, and stompboxes — including their all-important impedance, gain stage “sweet
spots,” and circuit behaviors. Based on breakthrough integration between Apollo’s analog
inputs and its onboard UAD processing, Unison lets you track through a range of colorful
emulations from Neve, API, and Marshall with amazing tone.
