As a newb to UAD world, I don't say this lightly but UAD should bundle this video as a manual for first timers like. I'm gonna go thru your other videos! Thanks a ton!
I watched 4 hours of videos to find one simple answer, a really basic thing... you mentioned it at about 4 minutes in. Ta da. I'm a newbie, so... it was a seriously newbie problem, but prevented me 100% from actually getting anything done.
THANK YOU for covering actual basics sir.
You’re welcome! Glad it had the info you were looking for! I tried to distill it down as much as I could!
Love the calm, even paced delivery of the information and context. Also, the zoom into the controls so they can actually be seen as they’re being described. Great work.
Great job 👏… thanks for slowing things down in concise and methodical manner for us old timers to digest as we go.
🤯 dude, my mind is blown, you showed me things I had no idea my 8p could do. Thanks so much. 🙏🏼🫡
Ryan, you are just perfect, not too slow, fast, but just perfect. I've learned a ton of information, thanks to you. Thank you very much, and please keep them coming...
Thanks man! Sometimes it's hard to strike the right balance. I'll definitely keep them coming!
Gonna email you.
I’m gonna agree with a lot of the comments that I’ve read except for the I learn nothing guy, outstanding video greatly paste and very detailed thank you very much
one of the best videos on UA capabilities - you helped me so much today!!!!!!
Absolutely stellar video Ryan. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching/commenting!
This was an excellent tutorial even 2 years later! I'd love to hear about Luna more in conjunction with console!!
Great intro into Console!! Thanks Ryan!!!
Thanks for this very clear information - much appreciated!
All your vids are so helpful! Thank you!!
Thanks, Mike!
Finally, a straight forward explanation. Thank you Ryan. I’ve learned a lot in this short video. Truly, Apollo 6X is a different utility. I’m a vocal singer whom knows nothing or little about engineering. You have made a difference sir. Keep up the good work. Simple is better. 👊😎🙏🏾
I agree. Keeping it simple and straightforward to focus on making the music is key. Thanks for watching!
@@TheGearCage Do you have any instruction on Apollo X6 with Cubase 11 or 12? Can I match the 5 tracks in Cubase to the five Chanel’s of the UAD? How does that work. Thanks for your speedy response. You seem a good dude. You are clear and concise.
@@Tritonprince Yeah, that's how it works! So, if you plug your microphone into analog input 1 you can set channel one in Cubase as your recording channel from the interface.
Remember, if you want to record exactly what you hear and have setup in the console you can click the light next to where it says 'insert'. If it's set to Blue that means you'll monitor in the console only. BUT, if it's red that means what you hear in the console will record directly to Cubase in your case. That way, if you get a sound you really like you can just record it without any fuss. This is one of the powerful features of the Apollo Console.
@@TheGearCage Yes, Ryan your demo explained your last statement.
I’m still slightly confused about how the MIDI/ Digital instruments benefit from the Apollo X6. Is it safe to say the Apollo interface is primarily for Vocals? If I have twenty tracks in Cubase are they all on one Chanel of the UAD? Please forgive my lack of understanding. I’m just now admitting that the Conrona Virus took a hit on my memory and I’m just catching back up. Your instructions have been the most “laid back” and easy to follow. Thanks 🥇🏆🎖.
👊😎
A very informative video. Thank you.
Ryan. I echo the other comments about the value of your videos. Your pace and cadence are ideal for your listener. In contrast, when I watch the official Universal Audio Luna tutorials, I have to stop the tape numerous times and repeat the sections over and over to digest the information provided. Maybe, you could audition for that role. You indicated in this video that you were going to be doing some Luna specific videos. I haven't found any on your channel. I would encourage, if not beg, you to do as many UA and Luna videos that you can. There is a large audience yearning for your through and precise videos for this new UA product as well as their ancillary software and hardware. Thanks again for your efforts.
Justus, thanks so much for the kind words! I’ve been waiting for Luna to evolve a little more before I do them. I should be doing them early next year. I have about 15-20 videos to do ahead of it, but I will get to it!
@@TheGearCage I'll continue to watch Ryan and look forward to future UA and Luna videos. Take care.
Thank you for the help 🙌🏻 I’m now a subscriber!!!
Thank you Nick Frost
very clear and informative
Very helpful. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial, thank you!!!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Simply…thank you!
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot!!
A faster way to remove plugins is to right click on the plugin where you can remove the current plugin you clicked on or all of the plugins in the strip you selected.
Nice vid. I use Apollo Twin and want to send 3-4 outputs to my mixer and back to computer. Every time I rout it to the mixer I get a nasty feedback though. Ideally I’d like to retrack final mix back into the computer through my mixer.
I've had my Apollo for about two years now and I'm barely finding out about the insert presets watching this video lol
Thanks bro 🙏
You know it!
✌️
Great video, Thanks!
I would like to see how to fully set up a vocal strip unison/insert and control the levels out and in. Am currently using the x6 with Ableton, but cannot understand the monitoring button. Was expecting it to affect the volume but it is not. Also would like to understand the difference between cue outputs, aux and ctrl room and how to use it.
I’m going to do a follow-up video in the next few months with more. Thanks for watching!
Hi Ryan, thanks for the video. Do you know if it’s possible to do side chain compression triggered from another track? Eg a uad compressor turning down a music track triggered every time I speak on another track.
1 I work full time in music have sings which reached millions of views
2 I've recorded mixed and mastered more songs than I can literally calculate professionally in the last two years maybe two and a half over 15 to 20 thousand if not easily more.
3 I love ua and my Apollo and the learning and then career learning and then work flow shift it gave me. Sadly I use the antelope audio rack interface and modeling mic instead if my Apollo and the Slate ml1 but either way I made this post to say "preesètsss"
No disrespect tho love it.
To hear some of my work just TH-cam

Thanks for the information. I have a particular issue with my apollo twin at the moment. Trying to enable 8 adat tracks, I've seemed to assign them but do not see the tracks showing up on my console and they are listed in settings but don't appear to be armed, they are greyed out. Any advice?
Hi, very informative video! You were mentioning that a Luna specific video was supposed to be done shortly after this one. Did you change your mind about that ? Thanks !
Hi Ryan, thank you very much. May I ask you something? When I switch Ctrl room on, I do not see the general volume knob. Can you guide me what to do? Thank you, Petr
Hi Ryan, excellent presentation very thorough and concise. Are you available for one on one training? I have an Apollo solo, running through a DXBs 286 preamp using Protools Studio. Is the Apollo console still necessary? If so, that’s what I need assistance on getting everything to work together.
Can the Apollo 6 used as a line mixer on a live audio system/PA system?
Will it work the same if I load all plug-ins needed thru a computer then close the software throughout a live event?
Could I connect a digital piano to the x8’s line inputs at the back using two TRS cables for stereo as opposed to just a single TRS cable mono?
Hi Ryan, Absolutely fantastic video.Would you let me know how I connect between Fractal Audio Axe Fx2 and Universal Audio Apollox4? I have been trying so many times .But the sounds are confused not clearly .What are your suggestions of the solve of the problems? Because of so noisy sounds.Maybe you are going to make a video about processor& ua apollo.I hope..
Thanks for your kind reply.Cheers..
Can you add inserts to the ADAT channels too?
Whats the best way to record "live" mic'ed guitars into the Apollo twin X? Eg putting a 57 and a 451 on a real cabinet into the Apollo twin? Thank you.
Hi, I have the Apollo x6 and I would like to have the Unison+ wheel etc. for the Analog 4 track for my hardware synth? But everything is empty there and I can't adjust the gain of the input signal at all?
Great Video.
Why are the first four Channels you use muted in Console?
Thanks! I have my record channels preset. So if I’m not using them I mute them. That said, I shot the talking video first and put the demo portion on too. That’s why Zi had to rush, but I have more in-depth videos coming soon!
Howdy, I can’t get the spdif input on my new x6 to actuate, I run a digital guitar processor thru toslink/spdif and all is well with my twin x but not the x6, any help?
Is there a way to load Helix Native in the console?
The Apollo Console or the UA Console - is it available on the Volt Interfaces - or does it come in a Volt version ?
*Help* - my UA console doesn't show the Monitor / output section....?
The Power button below Modifiers on the left keeps turning itself off a few seconds after I turned it on. How to I keep it on?
My first Apollo just arrived in the mail. I will be hooking it up this week, and after working in Pro Tools for 17 years with a "regular interface" (No "Console" software) Im a bit overwhelmed with changing my creative process, and learning something new. I'm probably overthinking things, but I am trying to get as informed as possible going into this new world. One of my worries/questions... Does Console save it's settings for every single Pro Tools session I create for clients? Or do I have to like... write down all the stuff I loaded into their Console settings? And redo it all? It would be very relieving to learn console saves all the sessions, much in the same way Pro Tools does??
p.S Great Videos!!
You can save sessions
hey so 48khz its good for just playback music on windows? i feel like sometimes it hear some crackles my settings are 48khz on the console and 48khz on the windows sound settings that should be good?
Yeah 48k should be perfect. I tend to keep my system there all the time
Hi! Do you know if it is possible to detune to -32cents (440Hz to 432Hz) through the X4 console using any of the included UAD plugins? Thanks!
I believe you can do it with Antares Auto Tune actually.
I just realized you’re talking about all tracks. I don’t think there’s a way to really do that currently. Interesting idea though!
How do i record the send in my daw?
It'd be AWESOME to get a clear tutorial on using the console with the Townsend Labs L22 Sphere.
That's definitely on my radar. That one will be coming sooner than later as I add more Apollo specific videos to the collection. That is a GREAT mic by the way.
@@TheGearCage I'm certainly looking forward at learning how to use it as my first real microphone.
BTW (unrelated question), if you wanted to use your microphone and headphones and connect them to an android cellphone (whether for call outs on a podcast, or just wanted smoother vocals on a phone call)... how would you approach that?
I mean, there HAS TO be a way, right?
@@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios 1. Get a Google Voice phone number and route your mic to Google Voice or 2. Buy a headphone/microphone splitter from Amazon to use with your android, routing the out's and in's into your interface
@@greg_online Interesting... Hmmm... As I am relatively new to audio, do you have any suggestions for headphone/microphone splitter solutions, Greg?
I’m about to pull the trigger and buy the Apollo interface
But the issue and reason I’m asking
Is in order for my PC to accept thunderbolt I’m going to need to upgrade the motherboard
I just want to know if I should pull the trigger on the twin duo (USB) for Windows
Or get the Apollo twin x ( thunderbolt)
(Because there both the same price point )
N wait till I can upgrade my PC
I wish to know if the upgrade is worth the time I’d be waiting
Since I’ve heard the converters are better and pre amps are better
I’ve also heard low end is more controlled
But I’m going around asking
It may very well be worth it. Or, maybe even just getting a Mac Mini M1 model with 16GB of RAM. That may only cost a few hundred more and give you better performance long term.
If getting the best audio quality you can is critical I'd at the very least do the PC MB update for one that is TB compatible.
I recently bought an Apollo but am struggling to work out if I can use my own plugins within Console. It seems like it is only possible to use UA's own, ridiculously expensive, plugins in Console. If this is the case I think it's a highly dubious marketing strategy and I am finding that I still need to use my DAW (Logic) for monitoring due to the plugins issue mentioned. Any advice appreciated! I hope I am wrong on this.
NOPE LOL JUST THE 4 PLUG INS EVERYONE USES THATS WHY PEOPLE GET RME BABYFACE
about the cue outputs?
When I plug in my Newman Tlm103 to the Apollo , I get no signal. Any help?
Make sure you’re turning phantom power on in the console. It’s the 48v button on the top.
what happens if im using garage band?
Can someone please just tell me how to hear yourself while you record on Logic Pro x while using the Apollo twin. I am going fucking crazy trying to figure out
In general, I stay away from mixing software that comes with hardware. It adds another layer of confusion, accidents and unwanted gain staging to an already complex system like a DAW.
One day I dream of a utopian civilization where people can use whatever interface and DAW they want without being tethered to a cumbersome “console” software before they use their actual console. Because the LAST thing studios need is ANOTHER software program they are FORCED to use in an already crowded and convoluted era of buggy software like Protools.
no physical control over volume on hardware no digital volume control. it's slammed against 10 clipping solid red on console monitor and nothing works . Can't turn it down. The entire use of this is unresponsive to commands, to mouse, to physical turning yhje hardware knobs wtf?
Get a M1 or M2 and this will not be a problem, lol.
I learned nothing
