in resume, now it's a LUNA mixer :)

thanks for the video. Would be great if you have a video showing us how to connect 3 or more studio headphones to Apollo x4 using cue output. I can never figure out how to add more than 2 headphones

@ToddUrban

2 ай бұрын

The easiest way is via a headphone splitter using the headphone amp on the front. But if you want independent mixes, you can have 2 cues go to the outputs on the front and another 2 go to the physical outputs on the back. But you will need a separate headphone amp to provide power from those back outputs.

So I have a Townsend labs microphone and the vocals are stereo in the daw after recording well that stereo vocal still work with all the plug-ins does the plug-ins need to be stereo or mono?

Hello! Do you know if i can use this ua console if i have a volt 276 interface? In my uad connect i can download this console but it doesn t work! Thank you!

Hi Todd! I have (3) UA Apollo interfaces.. I wish they would have let us send channel outputs to any interface instead of limiting us to sending channel outputs to its own interface.

I don’t know the technical limitations but from a developer point of view, I know limitations can be more difficult to resolve than they appear. I’d love more than 4 cues, but don’t see it happening. I’d love to drag and drop inputs/outputs, but assume that is more difficult than I am able to understand.

Does It have a noise gate built-in yet?

Thanks for the video Todd! You said that the fader volumes will not have an impact on the daw-level. How is that with insertet plugins (not the unison ones)? For example, if I add a LA-2A to the insert slot and use the gain knob to to level the signal. Has that an impact on the level being recorded in the DAW? Thanks :) Bernd

@ToddUrban

2 ай бұрын

The faders at the bottom do not have an impact on what is being recorded into the DAW. They are for monitoring. But if you adjust the gain on an LA2A and are recording that effect, yes, that plugin will alter what is being recorded. Give it a try. Pull the fader all the way down and you will still record at full strength into the DAW.

Where is the Buffer size? Thank you

@tilllanglo5316

2 ай бұрын

I believe buffer size is there so the cpu can simultaneously record and calculate the existing plugins and material playback. So it exists only in a daw environment and is even disabled in luna when ARM recording is enabled. Thats the big advantage of Luna/Pro Tools and all plugins that are processed by an interface like Apogee or Antelope Audio. This way you can have a big session with a lot of plugins and still record at very low latency without having to freeze something.

Finally, an attractive GUI. That old version is buTT ugly. Functionality is always great. Never had a single problem at any time in the 2 years I've used it. Definitely hope that stays the same.
