One of the most important things that I have ever invested in is my audio interface… An interface isn’t always the “sexy” purchase but it can make a HUGE difference and can greatly improve workflow. I have used tons of interfaces through the years… BUT one brand, has improved my audio and audio experience so much that I have completely committed to use their products with all of my serious audio ventures… I am monogamous with this BRAND!… Don’t get me wrong, I still use some less complex and powerful setups for simpler projects. But I can not describe how much this company, and these specific products, have changed my workflow for the better an made my life so much easier, and made my audio so much better! Now for the big unveiling… the company I am referring to…. UNIVERSAL AUDIO!!
This Company is seriously INCREDIBLE and everyone needs to try their products out at least once… and if you do try them out once, then you will understand why you HAVE to get one! Yeah the prices are decently high, but once you experience their products you will 100% understand the price and I have gotten to the point where I feel like their prices are quite reasonable for the quality and ease of use they can produce!
The specific product I use is the Apollo Twin Quad. This interface seems simple when you look at it from the outside…. 2 channel XLR, a couple outputs, couple inputs, headphone jack… Some of the usual stuff… But it is so much more! It is a quad processor in it (processor amounts vary on model), so you can run Universal Audios specific plug ins from your interface, so they don’t slow down your actual computer processor… This is GENIUS. I have spent a fair amount of money in their plug ins and they are worth every penny! They outperform competitors BY FAR! Also, when you buy an interface from them, it comes with some really fantastic plug ins that are worth a lot of money! They have many various interfaces and plug ins that can accommodate many people with many different audio goals. I absolutely love my interface, and I have no intention on moving away from using Universal Audio… well ever. I highly recommend that you check out these products! I know they are pricey… but they really are worth it!
If you run quite a few plug ins I would recommend at least getting the UA Apollo Twin Duo. It can handle a fair share of plug ins, and I feel like the Apollo Twin Solo and Arrow just isn’t quite powerful enough… Unless you are doing more simplistic music / productions (Voice over, Podcasting)… or if you like committing your tracks a lot, the single will work!
Check these amazing products out! You won’t regret it!
