My next upgrade is going to be a pair of Apollo16 interfaces to get 32 channels and 8 DSPs.įrom the looks of it, with the new Ensemble, only my Thunderbolt wish has been truly granted. It's become an important part of my setup. Apogee's own thunderbolt offering at the time (for Symphony) was stupidly expensive.Īfter installing the Apollo, and hooking up my synths and mic inputs, I found myself using more of the UA plugins than just delay/reverb. I switched to a Mac mini and could really use my firewire port for storage, so I was on the market for a thunderbolt interface.Another possibility was doing some funky routing to hook in a Lexicon, but that'd cost me 2 inputs and outputs (and messing with routing in Maestro is like pulling a tooth). I could sort of rig a kind of delay/reverb for vocal recording using software monitoring of just the effects chain alongside the zero latency direct sound of the Ensemble, but it was far from ideal.I wanted live effects on my synths, and the alternative was getting a mixer and a bunch of outboard reverbs/delays.Well, not exactly switched, I still use the Ensemble as a second 8 channel AD/DA. Built on genuine UA analog design and next-generation A/D and D/A conversion, the Apollo 8p puts class-leading sonic performance in a sleek new package.I switched from the previous generation Ensemble to the Apollo a couple of months ago.
