Hey stefan, i have the Apollo 4x Thunderbolt, but I don't get any input. It worked on my Macbook, but does not work on my Alienware Area51M- R2 which is Thunderbolt compatible. I can hear output, and watch youtube with the Apollo, but when I want to record nothing gets through. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
@ReidStefanMusic
@ReidStefanMusic 2 жыл бұрын
There are only 3 supported PCs that work with Apollo and Alienware isn’t one of them. Windows is generally a hot mess for audio engineer because it doesn’t handle low latency audio well. It’s a huge limitation of the operating system
