As an Apollo owner, the installation process was pretty simple and immediately I got it running with new plugins I got.From Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, Duane Allman to Eric Clapton, the Plexi’s punishing melange of snarl, sustain, smoothness, and raunch defined the sound of rock. The Apollo Twin X Duo Heritage Edition from Universal Audio is an outstanding Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with some interesting features. In this iteration of the Twin X, you benefit from duo-core DSP acceleration, enabling you to seamlessly utilise DSP-powered plugins offered by Apollo. AB-ing with the direct input there’s a clear difference in quality, and once we load up our favourite guitar VST and impulse response into the DAW the track we’ve laid down roars appropriately back at us.
