Apollo Solo USB Manual Console Overview 76
Console Plug-In Inserts Overview
The UAD plug-in inserts within each input and auxiliary strip is where UAD Powered
Plug-Ins are selected and used for Realtime UAD Processing within Console.
Both of Apollo Solo USB’s analog preamp inputs have a special 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 channel within the constraints of available DSP resources.
Note: For complete details, see Console Plug-In Inserts.
Channel Inserts
Unison Insert
Apollo Solo USB’s Unison technology is activated when a Unison-
enabled UAD plug-in is loaded in the special dedicated Unison insert
slot located above the preamp options (as shown at right, outlined in
red).
Note: Audio on preamp channels is processed by the Unison
insert (if populated) before the channel inserts.
The special dedicated Unison insert is only available on Apollo Solo
USB preamp channels. However, Unison inserts are operated exactly
the same way as standard channel inserts. See the Unison chapter for
related information.
