Great product

I know people saying that UAD products no longer relevant in 2024 and they overpriced but it simply not true. There are no competitors still in this price range that can do what this interface can. It sounds amazing build quality is amazing and it comes with a bunch of plugins so you can create right away. If you small artist and you want to record your Vocals/Instruments in home studio environment this interface is definitely the way. Highly recommended.

Great Value

Apollo solo is a great interface specially for the high-quality pre-amps and the plug-ins that comes with it.

If you are starting is the pro-level of music production and mixing, this is for you.

Overall Good

Due to limited processing power you will most likely not get a lot of use out of the UAD Plugins, that wasn't my reason for my puchase anyways, as i just wanted a interface i was used to (UAD Twin) and the minimalistic optics - compared to a lot of the competitors' overcomplicated and frankly *ugly* design - definitely made me go with the Apollo Solo. So far it does its job as an interface well, it feels well built and high quality (again, compared to certain competitors absolute TRASH plastic interfaces) , if and when i will upgrade, i will most likely stay with UAD.

Good audio interface

If you need more effects, please see twin x series with 2 or 4 dsp

Great Interface, Super sound, but Unreliable Software

I returned this mainly due to my M1 Macbook crashing and being unstable when it is connected, also my plugins don't engage correctly with it. Support for M1 Macs seems not yet native or correct. Sadly I really liked the sound of the interface and it looks and feels great! The hardware team did a fantastic job, just the software and drivers completely fails this.

Great value for money

The best audio interface I could ask for less than €500 (bought on a promo).

Wonderful! A good transition from home studio to pro level

An excellent transition from Volt 276 to Apollo.

Superior sound.

Good A/D conversion quality.

Low noise. Simple interface, easy to use.

Cons

For Apple Silicons: relatively hard to setup for the first time

Console is relatively complex for some beginners

not for people who want to use more UA plugins.

One of the best

UAD is in the top of the sound cards. You make no mistakes in choosing it.

Great interface and Great plugins

This is a great device! sound quality is phenomenal and it looks great, the controls are well thought out and it’s small size and bus-powered capability make it easy to take with you.

Even without the plugins, the Apollo Solo USB is an absolutely professional sounding interface and the plugins sounds amazing , the UAD versions of plugins are one of the best on the market that I've found. and the interface has a good sensitive preamp. Would recommend to anyone involved in mixing and music production in general.
