For optimum results when using Console without a DAW, perform sample rate changes within the Console application (instead
of within Mac OS X's Audio MIDI Setup application).
For optimum results when using a DAW, perform sample rate changes within the DAW itself (instead of the Console application
or within Mac OS X's Audio MIDI Setup application).
For optimum results when Apollo's current sample rate is different from the sample rate set within a DAW session, change
Apollo's sample rate within Console to match the sample rate of the DAW session before loading the DAW session.
UAD Resource Usage
Apollo Twin uses DSP and memory for its internal DSP mixer. Therefore, the UAD Meter & Control Panel application will show
some DSP and memory usage even when UAD plug­ins are not in use.
UAD Presets
When logged into the computer under an account that does not have administrator privileges, saving UAD preset files via the
UAD Toolbar will result in an "Unable to save preset file" dialog. If this occurs, either log in with an administrator account, or use
the DAW's preset management tools.
What is the lowest hardware buffer setting I can use with Apollo Twin for stable operation?
The audio interface hardware I/O portion of Apollo Twin can run at any hardware buffer setting that is stable within the DAW itself.
Results may vary as a result of how much the DAW session stresses the computer system. This can be influenced by:
Session track count and sample rate
How many processor­intensive native plug­ins (such as virtual instruments, convolution reverbs, etc.) are in the session
Processor type, speed, and overall power of the computer
Of course, for the lowest possible latency when monitoring live inputs, we recommend using the included Console application to
take advantage of Apollo Twin's unique Realtime UAD Processing feature, where DAW I/O buffering does not apply at all.
System Sleep
System sleep is compatible with the latest Apollo Twin software. However, disabling sleep when using DAW software is generally
recommended. For optimum results when using Apollo Twin with DAW software, follow these guidelines:
Disable sleep. Open the Energy Saver panel within System Preferences* and drag the "Computer Sleep" slider (if present) to
"Never" (the far right position).
Before sleeping the system, quit any DAW software using UAD plug­ins.
If UAD­2 Satellite FireWire is connected, system sleep MUST be disabled. Sleep is not compatible with UAD FireWire devices
(UAD­2 Satellite Thunderbolt is compatible with system sleep).
*To access System Preferences, click the Apple icon in the OS X Menu Bar (upper left of screen) then select the application
from the drop menu.
Computer sleep is disabled in the Energy Saver panel within the System Preferences application
