UAD Apollo Quad

[D.A.R.K.]

I've been using the UA apollo quad with Macbook pro since it came out, live, and never had a single issue with stability in that setting.
It also comes on tour in my FOH rack for engineering, (if not my twin duo), and I do probably 250 shows a year.
No problems.

Well , I must say that the problems I had are gone with the 9.0 driver.

Finally ......

Out of sync drivers that are not fully supported by OS upgrades or conflicts with drivers from different products can be a real headache to deal with.

Some people with MIDI systems refuse to upgrade their OS, drivers, even their computers, when they have a system that works.

I've been using an Apollo QUad Thundrbolt for 3 years...produced our bands last album
with it. UA plug ins are great too but I had UA cards in my old Mac before the Apollo came out so I was already on the UA Plug in bandwagon. I also use Waves Gold Bundle and some other 3rd party plug ins but the UA Plug ins are all zero latency.
If you have the $$ for it and some of their workhorse plug ins you won't be disappointed.

If you are not yet convinced of the sound potential of UAD's plugins:

New EdenWT800 amp emulation... interesting choice...

Yep , I thought : Strange choice ....


There are so many classic pres that I would have done before Eden like Ashly SC-40 , Yamaha BP-1, Trace-Elliot's GP ,etc...

I believe the age demographic that buys this unit would know the eden over those preamps JMHO

I'd like to see the sans amp stuff- the original pedal with dip switches, as well as rack units. That pedal was so good on things besides bass guitar... would be nice to have, and is well known and used.
