Great Video 🔥 One question, I got the Apollo Twin X Quad and in UAD Console I only got 4 effect insert slots + 1 preAmp slot. You got 8 effect insert slots in Console. Do you have more slots because you are also using a sattelite or x6/x8/ or x16? Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
@tylerdengler6960 3 жыл бұрын
Each Insert should have 8 slots for effects, 3 slots for sends, and 1 slot for a Unison plugin. You get more inserts depending on the interface since each insert is set up for the inputs you have on your interface.
@tylerdengler6960 2 жыл бұрын
@OneLove okay, I was definitely wrong about the interface. From looking back at the video, the only way to get 8 inserts on UAD Console is by using it with the LUNA recording system.
