Apollo Solo USB Manual Console Plug-In Inserts 136
Console Plug-In Inserts
The UAD plug-in inserts within each input and auxiliary strip in Console is where UAD
Powered Plug-Ins are selected and used for Realtime UAD Processing.
Both of Apollo Solo USB’s analog preamp input channels have a dedicated Unison
insert in addition to four standard inserts. Both virtual inputs, and both auxiliary returns,
also have four standard inserts each. Therefore, up to five UAD plug-ins can be serially
chained (stacked) per Console channel within the constraints of available DSP resources.
Note: Only UAD Powered Plug-Ins can be loaded in Console. However, tracks with
non-UAD plug-ins used within a DAW can be routed into Console via Virtual I/O.
Insert Types
Two types of UAD plug-in inserts, Unison and Standard, are
available within Console as shown at right. Additionally, a
channels strip’s complete plug-in setup can be saved and
loaded as a channel strip.
Unison Insert
Apollo Solo USB’s Unison technology is active when a Unison-
enabled UAD plug-in is loaded in the dedicated Unison insert
located above the preamp options.
The Unison insert is available on Apollo Solo USB’s analog
preamp channels (not Virtual or AUX channels). Unison
inserts are operated exactly the same way as standard inserts.
See Unison for related information.
Note: Audio on preamp channels is processed by the
Unison insert (if active) before the channel inserts.
Standard Insert
All Console channel strips (analog, virtual, aux) have four standard insert slots.
Channel Strip
The complete collection of UAD plug-ins within a channel’s inserts, along with the
settings within the plug-ins, can be saved and loaded as a single channel preset to
quickly recall a complete processing setup. For details, see Channel Strips.
