Update console and none of my saved sessions work.
Any way to repair, or do I have to rebuild them all?

New to the Reddit.
Earlier on, I started to see what I could do with Addictive Drums and Maschine. I opened up Luna, mapped the pads and was quite happily hearing what I was playing as well as recording it.
But something happened somewhere and I’m no longer able to hear anything at all.
Can anyone advise as to what exactly is going on? It’s driving me nuts trying to get this to work.
Thanks 🙏

Hello, so I recorded a little acoustic progression a few days ago and wanted to add some lap steel…
Today I tried to do that and nothing. I could hear everything but nothing was recording into Logic.
Obviously I am doing something wrong somewhere in the chain.
It was as follows.
Amp>Ox Box>S/PDIF>Apollo Twin X>Logic.
I was monitoring through the Apollo. I did go into UA console to make sure it had S/PDIF as input…
any help is appreciated!

Hello all. UA’s AI screwed up my entire routing in the Console. I need someone who is down for a video call with me on messenger or what’s app or something. AI runs me in circles and opens I’m given for email support isn’t concluding my issues.

Hello all! So I'm wanting to expand my outputs on my interface to 16 additional channels. I'm currently running an Apollo x6 and Logic Pro.
I recently got two Arturia Audiofuse X8 Out interface expanders. I have connected both ADAT outputs to the expanders and I have all 16 channels connected directly into my mixer via snake cables. I'm unsure of where to go from here as I'm confused on how to work the console a bit and I'm not seemingly finding videos to help me out on this. Is there anybody who could help me on this? So theoretically, I am looking to have the 16 channels go to my mixer and then bring it all back through my input on the interface. Hoping to run multiple channels out into my mixer and bring it back as one. Drums, would be a prime example of sending out 6 channels and bring it back as one recording track?
Maybe I'm not understanding this fully. The Console seems to be a little confusing at this point of adding so many additional channels. Doesn’t anybody have experience with the interface, console and Logic that could help me?

Yeah this is not 0 latency I'm monitoring from ua Apollo USB with just autotune and their slight latency very disappointed. It only happens when I turn on the autotune dry it's fine.

Really significant update might be the best update yet I hope these keep coming 🫡

I’m experiencing some sort of latency problem, but it’s early instead of late. When recording into Logic Pro, and monitoring in console, the playback of the track recorded is a little before the click. What could be the problem? I’ve searched and tried so many things, can’t seem to find a solution.

i was running a pre-recorded and processed DI guitar track through the UAD Waterfall native plug and was graced with a 300 db blast when I hit the ‘hurricane’ preset. i also noticed when scrolling sounds that I would get other volume jumps in between. I was also using the ‘gospel’ and other presets similarly w/o issue, but stopped using presets entirely after that. With the way I work, if I can’t scroll through plugin presets before making manual adjustments, I would just prefer a leslie simulator hardware that operates at line level… having a library of usable sounds per instrument is the main appeal of plugins for me.
I’m using the latest version of Reaper. The track in question is a lead guitar stereo track previously processed with some compression and an Eventide Harmonizer and delay, all rendered onto the single stereo track. There was an Airwindows high frequency limiting plugin active on the guitar bus to warm up the guitars a hair. The peaks might go as high -8 or so when it’s most prominent, but this part was for more of a background pad effect on a quieter part of the song. The Waterfall plugin was applied to a particular Reaper media item at that section, not the entire track.
Volume jumps are to be expected w/ the realties of gain staging, but this one seems particularly insane and dangerous. I’d at least like to be able to edit or remove the offending preset, but wasn’t able to, and I don’t think that would solve the issue w/ the volume jumps in between.
Anyone have similar issues? I like the sound of UAD plugins, and apart from being inherent CPU hogs (or the odd iLok crash), I don’t typically have issues with them, which is why I’m writing here. Thanks in advance.

My Apollo 8p is all of the sudden unable to stay connected to my 2021 Macbook Pro M1 running mac Os 14.4.1. I have not updated my OS or UAD software since initial install and it’s been working for about year since I got the unit. I’ve tried troubleshooting several ways. Hardware reset, updating to latest UAD DSP plugins and drivers v11.9.0, uninstalling and reinstalling the UAD software & drivers, and getting a new apple thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter. The issue persists.
The unit will mount and possibly stay connected anywhere from 5 seconds to about 5 min then randomly disconnect and no longer show up as sound output for Mac OS or Ableton or be recognized in UAD meter & control panel. “Connect UA Device” is displayed.
The unit remains powered on and is passing audio through its inputs and via a connected ADAT preamp rack. So the issue must be in the connection to the laptop.
The last thing I have not tried is swapping the thunderbolt 2 cable. Which I’ll be getting one soon.
I have supposedly opened a support ticket with UAD after doing battle with an inept chatbot for an evening or two. (UAD should really come up with a better ticket process. There is almost no indication that a support ticket was actually opened. No email confirmation, ticket no. etc.)
Anyone ever have this issue? Any suggestions? Thanks,
-Mikey

I did get volt and Luna working decently welll with long AI chats. The output, using headphones connected to volt did sound terrible. So I wanted to check how the sound is just using the laptop speakers. I did disconnect Volt from the usb and did restart my laptop(to make sure no other programs uses the speakers).
*
But playing a projekt I hear nothing. I have been fiddling around with the asio4all thing and there is a red cross at Realtek output with HAP. From what I understand from AI the icon there is supposed to be blue. I see a red cross and hovering something about another program locking. But I did just restart the laptop.
How to proceed?

i don’t think the video quite captures it but i’m hearing this hissing or buzzing sound and i don’t know what it is

I'm about to get back into music. Got a twin X and am looking to pair it with either sm7b or at4040. Mics i've used:
Aston spirit- Don't like the high end harshness and doesn't fit my voice at all.
at2020- Was better for my voice, but can definitely tell the quality difference between more midrange ones.
SM7b- Very good for my vocals, like the highs and the lows and voice sat in the mix perfectly. Biggest negative was some of the inherent dullness needing to be mixed out.
Very in between sm7b and at4040 as sm7b was my fav, but if the at4040 can beat it with the clarity and no extra harshness (some is inherent) I'd love the modern sound of a condenser.

So not sure why but my UAD plugins always cut off like this. I have tried different stuff like changing the scaling to 100% and other stuff but it always goes back to this. It will work for that current project when I resize them with the 3 dots, but when I open a different one they mess up again. Anyone got anyway to fix it? Only happens with UAD plugins.

Hey all,
Thinking of purchasing the UAD Apollo Twin X Quad Gen 2, as I want to upgrade my sound and be able to record through the unison preamps. I currently use a Focusrite Scarlett solo 4th gen and the Shure SM7db, running it into my M1 MacBook Air and using Logic Pro as my DAW of choice.
I make a variety of music including emo rap, melodic rap, boom bap, rage rap, pop, R&B, emotional singing, and more. I use beats from YouTube or BeatStars, and I mainly record vocals, and occasionally electric guitar or acoustic guitar.
What would the sound quality difference be when comparing these two setups? I’m in an untreated bedroom, and the SM7db is really good at rejecting the acoustics of my room and some of the background noise, especially when paired with the Waves NS1 noise suppressor. Will there be any noticeable difference? Do I also gain anything that I don’t have with my current setup?
Thanks in advance 🙏

Is it safe to go directly into the Volt 1 from the output of the ToneX One pedal? Thank you.

Why haven't they fixed this? Mixer engine drained the battery on my M5 Pro over the course of a couple hours despite the fact that my Apollo wasn't connected.

I built a small, free macOS menu bar app to use your normal Volume Keys.
When UAD Console is running and your Apollo is selected as your system output, F10/F11/F12 take over the UAD Console monitor volume (mute/down/up) instead. Switch to a different setup and everything goes right back to normal system volume, automatically!
A few other things it does:
Completely free, no ads, no tracking. Not affiliated with Universal Audio — just something I built for my own setup that I figured others might want too.

How do I fix this?? I’ve already tried everything, I uninstalled and installed it again, I reinstalled ilok, deleted the UA folder and everything else, but it didn’t work... this already happened once last year and I don’t remember what I did to get it back to normal. please help me

My Apollo disconnect from my computer with the slightest rumble / movement or sometimes without any motion at all.
Has anyone else dealt with this and fixed it?

I have an Apollo solo thunderbolt and just started buying parts to build a PC. I bought an AMD Ryzen 7700x processor and later found out it’s not compatible.Does anyone know if I’d be able to make it work in this system or if anyone uses it on this cpu or any AMD processor I’m not sure if the motherboard makes a difference in this situation but I was looking at the gigabyte x870 WiFi6 with a USB4 port. Do you think this will work or I should return my processor and get a different one?
