Apollo Solo USB Manual Working With Apollo Solo USB 46
Accessing Apollo Solo USB’s I/O in the DAW
After Setting the DAW to use Apollo Solo USB I/O/O, the DAW can access and route all of
Apollo Solo USB’s inputs and outputs directly.
Selecting Apollo Solo USB’s Inputs and Outputs
The methods for selecting channel inputs and outputs are different for each DAW.
One example of how to choose I/O is shown below. For instructions, refer to the DAW
documentation.

Available I/O
Apollo Solo USB’s available inputs and outputs, along with their default channel names
are numbers, are listed in the Driver I/O Table.
Available I/O includes Apollo Solo USB’s physical inputs and outputs, as well as its
virtual inputs and outputs. Virtual I/O are software-only channels for digitally routing
DAW audio into and out of Console. See Virtual I/O for more information.
Default Outputs
The main stereo outputs of a DAW usually output to channels 1 and 2 by default.
Because channels 1 and 2 correspond to Apollo Solo USB’s main outputs, the DAW’s
main outputs are sent to Apollo Solo USB’s main outputs by default. The channels used
for DAW output can usually be changed within the DAW settings.
