Marvellous Apollo x8p
This interface is just the best. It has all the features I need for my work, it sound great and the quality of build is amazing. Never had any issues while recording multiple sources.

Apollo x8p times 2
I have two Apollo x8p as I need to record 16 mics at the same time (hooked up to a Mac Studio computer). The Console software makes this pretty hard to do especially if you want to monitor things more than just the 'stereo' outputs. I kind of hoped that once I had navigated the (very unfriendly) Console software to set up for 16 tracks that it would always defualt to that. Think again ! It seems you always have to mess around with it just to get the two units to act as 'one' 16 mic input machine. Console has three separate areas to press 'save'. You think you've saved your setup but 'oh no'. Very frustrating software. Considering how expensive these units were - I would imagine that the software should be usable.

Apollo X8P
Recently purchased the apollo x8p and also own a apollo quad duo, a lot of people are saying why do we need on board DSP with computers being so fast these days and latency should not be an issue. Believe me, the Apollo interfaces still surpass any computer processor and make recording with the most authentic emulations an absolute dream.
It doesn't get better

Hält was es verspricht
Ich habe sehr lange gehadert damit. Angefangen mit dem Spar Abo bis hin zur Entscheidung auch das ganz mit der Hardware über DSP. Seit dem Start des Spar Abos und der Möglichkeit diverse Plugins native zu nutzen , bin ich hin und weg von UAD. Ja es ist nicht das preisgünstigste aber jetzt steht das gute Gerät in meinen Rack.Für die nächsten Jahre definitiv gerüstet. Als Heritage Edition und der Plugin Aktion unschlagbar. Insofern ich bereue die Entscheidung nicht. Einziges Manko: bei dem Preis hätte ja wenigstens ein Thunderbolt Kabel bei liegen können.

One step further every day...
I have been dealing with the Apollo x8p every day since the purchase and learn to integrate the technology step by step into my everyday audio life.
It's really fun to deal with this marvel of technology.

Jeden Tag ein Schritt weiter…
befasse mich seit dem Kauf jeden Tag mit dem Apollo x8p und lerne Schritt für Schritt die Technik in meinen Audio-Alltag zu integrieren.
Macht echt Spass sich mit diesem Wunderwerk an Technik auseinander zusetzen.

Most versatile interface I've used yet
Whether it's each input having the preamps, the design of the gear itself, or any needs for an interface as a whole this is the full package deal. Drums, bands, multiple mic set ups you name it this thing processes everything with ease and makes the whole process captivating and every bit worth while.

Apollo x8p
I owned two silver-faced Apollos. I added the x8p recently and immediately noticed an improvement in the sound quality of my recordings and also the playback through the monitor outputs sounded better. I'm hearing more depth and more bottom end than before. Nicer converters for sure! Thanks UAD!

Back again!!!
Well, I started off using a Apollo Quad Silver and even though I had "0" complaints, a friend of mine convinced me to buy a Zen Tour Synergy interface by Antelope Audio. I can't lie, it sounded so good, buy everything else about the Antelope environment was all wrong for me. The routing capabilities are endless but confusing at the same time. I didn't like the way you utilize their plugins, (even though they sounded decent)...I tried to to ignore my deep, deep desire to own an Apollo again, but one of the major retailers was running a sale on the Apollo X8's, Heritage Edition ad you also got a free Townsend Labs Sphere L22 mic for $2497! So a friend of mine and me both jumped on the deal. BUT....to make it even sweeter, they sent me the "X8P" I stead of the "X8"

Love it but…
Beautiful piece of gear, obviously. Best recording gear purchase I’ve ever made, but my one complaint thus far is I don’t like seeing all the UA plugins I spent own in my list of plugins. Maybe there’s a way to remove them from the menu but I’m not totally familiar with all the plugins that came with the heritage edition yet but having to select and discover that I don’t have access is a huge time suck.

Amazing unit!
This has been an absolute game changer for me. I do allot of remote drum session work and this now gives me the option to track through Neve, SSL, API and many other pre’s all in my home studio. Incredible sound and workflow!

Apollo x8p, un concept abouti.
Je viens de démarrer dans l’écosystème UA Apollo avec la x8P. Ce choix découle du fait que je joue et enregistre avec de nombreux claviers et Groovebox.
La partie hardware de cette Apollo x8p est tout simplement parfaite, tant en ergonomie qu’en connectique.
Détail : seuls son poids et son centre de gravité assez reculé nécessitent une attention toute particulière pour l’insérer dans un rack. J’ai ajouté deux cales en mousse dense à l’arrière.
Pour le travail de mixage, je pense qu’elle donnera son plein potentiel avec une surface de contrôle aux faders motorisés si l’on veut obtenir des automations plus fluides et instinctives qu'avec un contrôle à coup de clic avec souris ou track-pad.
Les 8 préamplis Unison pour le monitoring lors des prises font le job et assurent, par l’absence de latence, un haut niveau de confort pour le musicien ainsi qu’une réduction de la fatigue lors de longues séances.
La partie software et l’incroyable bibliothèque de Plug-in UAD est l’autre point fort de la série Apollo et leur emploi avec Luna est simplifié, puisque la Console est intégrée. Cela permet de s’affranchir d’un second écran.
Malgré tout, ayant mes habitudes avec d’autres DAW en dehors du studio, j’ai choisi de complémenter avec Shark et quelques Plugs UAD selon mes besoins.
Enfin, j’ai repris les connectiques en façade avec un patch-bay en jack 6,3mm et un autre patch-bay en XLR. Cela me permet de brancher et débrancher les instruments requis pour chaque set-up de mes séances de travail.
Ainsi équipé, je vais pouvoir me séparer de ma console numérique 32 pistes et autre carte son 8 entrées et gagner de la place dans mon petit home-studio.
Avec cette Apollo x8p, j’espère pouvoir travailler en étant plus productif et plus inspiré, une fois mes templates créés et mon workflow bien défini.

X8p for the win
Having the 8 unison pres for drum tracking in my home studio has been awesome. Don't know how I went without it.

Powerful interface
The x8p has been a great addition to my recording set up. It has worked flawlessly so far and has proven to be everything it’s cracked up to be and more.
