audio signals at Apollo Solo USB’s inputs and outputs.
Specifying the Audio Interface Device
To set Apollo Solo USB as the DAW’s audio interface, select Apollo Solo USB’s device
driver name as the audio device in the DAW’s hardware setup preferences. The name of
Apollo Solo USB’s device driver is Universal Audio.
The methods for specifying the audio interface hardware device, and the name of the
setting, are different for each DAW. Examples of how to specify the audio interface
within major DAWs are provided below. For more specific details, refer to the DAW
