Review: Perfect - Love. Upgraded from solo. Works great
Review: Stepping up to the big leagues - I’ve had an Apollo Twin for 10 years, and it’s still working great, but after expanding my outboard collection I just needed more inputs. TBH I should have bought the x8, but after including a patch bay this one is just great! Not to mention I use a ton of UAD plugins, so chaining my old Twin gives me 8 cores of DSP for big mix sessions!

**Q: does this come with the free mic like the other dealers?**
A: it does not.

**Q: it has two Thunderbolt 3 connector right?**

We have been testing out this unit and the plug-ins and so far we are very impressed. It integrates with ProTools seamlessly. Setup was easy. It has handled multiple plug-ins with ease with its processors. So far, I have nothing bad to say about it.
