UAD Plug-Ins vs. Analog Hardware Watch Grammy-award winning producer Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Kings of Leon) put UAD plug‑ins to the test in a live session featuring electronic-soul artist Jamie Lidell. “The Apollo x8p is the workhorse for the majority of our mobile sessions. The flexibility is crucial to our workflow and once you’re familiar with the front panel controls and Console software, it becomes a seamless experience that allows you to truly craft your sound.”– Mike Larson(Pharrell, Ariana Grande, Migos) “I love my new Apollo x8p! I can mix without worrying about the amount of plug-ins I use, and the new converters reveal the most subtle details when I record. One of the best upgrades that I’ve added in a long time.”– Derek ‘MixedByAli’ Ali(Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Childish Gambino) “I'm really impressed with the Apollo X8. I hear more detail in the several sets of monitors I use, and I'm getting that little bit extra out of the Unison mic pre emulations – and they were already extremely close.”– Jacquire King(James Bay, Kings of Leon, Tom Waits) “This is the best-sounding Universal Audio D/A ever. By far. It has an extra octave of clear bottom, but it's not hyped. It's just very solid and full. It's like there’s no converter generated signature at all. It’s completely open and natural.”– Fab Dupont(David Crosby, Shakira, Santigold) “My Apollos are my sound.Where I go, they go.”– Trevor Lawrence Jr.(Dr. Dre, Herbie Hancock, Eminem) “Apollo is a platform that grows more powerful with every innovation – the UAD plug-in processing onboard has changed the way I work forever.”– Tony Platt(AC/DC, Bob Marley, Buddy Guy) “The Apollo is the best I/O we've ever used, and we've tried them all. It has an incredibly clean, transparent, and accurate sound.”– The Glitch Mob “I’m totally blown away by the stunning sound quality of the Apollo. The ability to use UAD plug-ins in real-time is pure genius. It’s the centerpiece of my new studio.”– Richard Devine “The Apollo's ability to do low latency – I mean that's the whole ballgame right there.”– Joey Waronker(Atoms for Peace, Beck, Other Lives) “The Apollo is a powerhouse and a game changer for my studio.”– Grieves “Using my Apollos and Console 2.0, I'm able to front a live mix, create a monitor mix, and record, all at the same time. That’s pretty awesome.”– Chris Dugan(Green Day, Iggy Pop, U2) “Having the Apollo with UAD plug-ins at my disposal is like carrying a giant studio with outboard racks at all times. Minus the tech fees, down time, and electricity bill!”– Andrew Dawson(Jay-Z, Fun.) “Apollo's A/D and D/A conversion sounds incredibly detailed, with great clarity and a tight, punchy low end. And with the Console 2.0 app, I have all of the routing and monitoring options I need.”– Dave Pensado(Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Maroon 5) “The Apollo x8p is the workhorse for the majority of our mobile sessions.
