First Listen: Universal Audio Apollo X Gen 2 Audio Interfaces

Universal Audio's Apollo X Gen 2 elevates the already-world-class audio interfaces to a new level with improved converters, new monitor functionality, auto-gain feature, and so much more. Watch our First Listen to get a full breakdown of what's new with Apollo X Gen 2 and hear a track recorded with the x8p | Gen 2.

For the recording and mixing of the track, Vintage King worked at the Scramble Shack with the Detroit-based band Kind Beast. The band was tracked using two Apollo x8p | Gen 2 with an Apollo x4 | Gen 2 used as a monitor controller, and each source was miked with a Universal Audio microphone. During the tracking session, engineer Bryan Reilly used only plug-ins from the new Essential+ bundle that comes with every interface. In the mix, he uses only plug-ins from the Studio+ bundle, which can be purchased as an addition to any Apollo X Gen 2 interface.
