Apollo Twin USB Duo Heritage : Quality product, but UA's neglecting Windows users

6 years ago

Got the USB version so that I don't run into compatability issues with Windows. and it does work seamlessly as soon as you plug it in.

First thing I noticed is that it's as if I got a new pair of speakers. got some bundled UAD plugins which behave and sound very differently than pure software plugins, as if they are more natural and a little less predicted.

The cons are - UA unfortunately dones't really seem to care that much about Windows users, fact is, the twin hasn't been updated like the TB MKII, which doesn't make a huge difference besides some extra control from the device on monitoring and a talk back built in. but of course, now there is LUNA which is only supported in TB and in Macs :/

the biggest con - it won't work on a Mac, and that sounds like a pure marketing decision and not like any technical issue.

So that gets me a little sour, but overall the twin is indeed sweet :)
