Apollo Software Manual Chapter 9: Working With Apollo 165
Accessing Apollo’s I/O in a DAW
Specifying the audio interface device
To access Apollo’s I/O within a DAW, the DAW’s audio engine must be configured to use
Apollo as the audio interface device. Specific instructions vary by DAW; consult the DAW
documentation for specifics. The I/O Buffer Size setting, which determines the overall
DAW I/O latency, is usually set in the same window.
See “Setting the I/O in the audio software application” on page 160 for an example.
I/O Complement
The specific default inputs and outputs available, and their names, vary by Apollo model.
Note that Apollo’s I/O routes and I/O names can be customized in the Core Audio Panel
within the Console Settings window.
Selecting Apollo’s Inputs and Outputs
When the DAW is configured to use Apollo as the audio interface device, the DAW’s audio
input and output channels can be routed to/from Apollo’s I/O via the device drivers.

Default Outputs
The main stereo outputs of a DAW usually output to channels 1 & 2 by default. There-
fore, since channels 1 & 2 correspond to Apollo’s monitor outputs, the DAW’s main out-
puts are sent to Apollo’s monitor outputs by default. The channels used for output can
usually be changed in the DAW.
