4 Step Pro Tools Apollo Setup for Beginners and Intermediate (for Twin, x4, x6, x8, and x8p)

Start with Step 2 for your Pro Tools Apollo setup, if you're a Beginner! The common settings needed to get the most from your Apollo x4, Twin, x6, 8, 8p, 16 with Pro Tools 2018 and later.
In this Video:
Step 1 - Apollo CoreAudio I/O Setup [Skip to Step 2 if you're a Beginner]
Step 2 - Pro Tools I/O Setup
Step 3 - Pro Tools Track & Aux Setup
Step 4 - Pro Tools Options (LLM, etc.)
Bonus - Copying between PT and Console, Various PT tips
This quick 4 step video will help you set up Pro Tools with your Apollo and can be considered a UAD Apollo beginner's setup, but also covers more advanced routing that I recommend you use for a Pro Tools setup with Apollo Twin, since it will give you the ability to access the main outs for OBS, Zoom, and Skype or streaming. Also covers auxes and LLM, which makes it possible to use Console less and Pro Tools more during tracking.
Gear Used:
Apollo x4
Pro Tools 2021.6

Matt, I really appreciate the usefulness of your content. Wondering if in the future you can elaborate on how you use your UA Console AUXs and Virtual Channels in creative ways.

Thank you very much! Check out my Apollo Quick Tips playlist for several uses of Auxes (including as a drum bus) and one use of Virtuals (master fader). Hit me up with any questions and let me know what you want to see in more detail!

@marvinelice5153 2 жыл бұрын

hello thank you for the video! what would you advise me, low latency is interesting and I would like to use it but I have a previous autotune plug-in that I want to use in protools directly as an insert, if I put the monitoring on low latency it is deactivated would you have a solution?

@MattHepworth 2 жыл бұрын

The insert in PT would be deactivated. My recommendation is to see if there's a cross grade option so you can get the UAD version. It is also possible to mute the channel in UAD Console and leave Low Latency Monitoring off.

Hey, i see in the video you line Mon L/R input with Mon L/R output and you recorded with Mon L/R. L when i do that and have a 2 track that im recording to it records the 2track on the audio track im trying to use to record vocals on. Did i do something wrong?

@cobie1990 2 жыл бұрын

I also see that your output says Mon L/R in console and pro tools I/O but when you create new tracks in pro tools it changed to A 1-2. How was that possible?

@MattHepworth 2 жыл бұрын

Mon L/R should only be used to record a track of whatever you're actually hearing (full mix during tracking, sound from a video game or website, etc.). If your Pro Tools setup has A 1-2 as defaults like mine you'll go to Buses in the I/O setup and map Mon L/R to A 1-2. Normally, A 1-2 is from when you use PTHD hardware, which I also use on my other setup.

@@MattHepworth what about mic line do i not suppose to use that one. Im having trouble getting what i hear from console to print correctly to pro tools. Its clear in console but when it make it ro pro tools it sounds like i recorded with a usb microphone. Been driving me crazy for about a year now. I dont record vocals nomore because it sound totally different. Auto tune dont even tune my vocals the effect with retune speed at zero but you can barely hear it. Im thinking the signal getting sent through a bus are something before hitting pro tools and being degraded. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Was wondering if someone could help me out. I have a new Apollo Twin. I can get protools to register my mic and I have the Apollo set as my Play Back Engine. However, I can record but cannot hear any sound that I recorded unless I switch my playback engine back to Protool Aggregate. It's like my output to play the sound back into the interface and out my speakers doesn't work. I made sure to reset my I/Os and everything. Honestly don't know what to do. I am pretty lost because I switched from a Scarlett and Logic Pro to Protools and an Apollo Twin and wow it truly is something different (and better). Let me know if anyone has suggestions.

@MattHepworth Жыл бұрын

Are you talking about trying to force Apollo to record 32-bit? Pro Tools uses 32-bit float processing, but that's different. What's your buffer set to? Start with 512 and see if it helps. I'd also need to know what kind of distortion you're hearing.
