There is another reason to change earpads; the Sennheiser come with velour earpads which get super hot in the summer and they could get very wet, switching to a leather earpad would fix that & be easy to dry off if they got a bit sweaty.

@@fadygergis I remember when the Apollo 16X was available for purchase without any extra plugins and UA stopped that option. Its only available as a Heritage Edition at a higher price. So if a current customer like myself wanted to expand my Apollo setup for more I/O I would have to look at the used market or spend the extra money for a new 16X Heritage Edition...I already have all the plugins (and optional plugins) that come with the Heritage Edition bundle. At $3000 and $4000...the X16D is just another one of those weird things. I do studio work as well as live sound using Dante(since 2015) so I clearly understand the market aim. IMO it just seems more logical to update the existing Octo-Core Satellite or X16 with Dante connections without removing the existing features. But hey, what do I know.🤐🤐🤐

This comparison makes no sense. UA has not created a device like the galaxy. It's for Live mixing consoles that want to use UA plugins which are better than the stock plugins used for live today. The galaxy is an analog to Dante / Dante to analog converter. It solves a different problem and is great for studios. Now what you failed to mention is that they could be used to gether so you have the anlaog inputs on the galaxy and you can use it with UA DSP plugins in the studio if you so desired. That's how these could be used together which is what I thought this video was about. Also, Sweetwater sells the x16D for 3k not 4k. These types of videos are misleading and you should tell your viewers they don't solve the same problem. I love the Galaxy but I like UA plugins too so Id get both.
@foolaround 9 күн бұрын
the x16D is 3K with only 20 plugins I believe, while the 4k option is with all plugins included. Also, the x16D solves a specific problem which the Galaxy can also solve in the exact same way - they UA videos show how they connect the Apollo to a live sound mixer via Dante, and using the effects as hardware inserts. Exactly the same can be done with the Galaxy, it has 32 AFX slots with up to 8 effects on each slot sooo

The device is designed for those who are already part of the ecosystem and want to have Dante compatibility to take it out for live use. If you are not already part of it? Buy something else.

Nobody at that level is considering Galaxy plugins when you have waves and UA offering Dante options as inserts. Not to mention getting all of your tracks into console. Also if you have something like the Rupert neve designs RMP-D8 and want low latancy UA plugins to record through, then x16D is an amazing option.

How are you able to have a different buffer size in your DAW than what is in SuperRack? For example, you said you have 1024 in your DAW, but 64 in Waves SuperRack. My interface (RME Babyface Pro) only lets me set one buffer size for the whole interface. Maybe I'm missing a step? Also, props for the solution... the way I have been using this is to have 2 audio interfaces connected to the computer with one interface physically connected to the other. That way it's one interface for Waves SuperRack and another interface for my DAW. I would much rather use just one interface if I can get around the buffer issue.

I would of gone with the Orion 32+ (4th gen) but I think it will be a better product next year or I will go with the Galaxy 32. The AA interfaces are more difficult to learn and to me I am still nervous about their driver. updates but so far so good with the Mac driver anyway. Note I love the software with Universal Audio, it is superior imo, it is more intuitive an aesthetically pleasing. However in an endeavor where dollars, cents, I/O and reliability matter where dollars matter more to you you can't go wrong with AA interfaces.

My personal thought is that the X16D is not designed to be an audio interface... i think its more targeted at getting UAD to the live space... like hooking up to digital consoles and such and using it as an effects send there. the fact that there's only 16 channels is stupid... like really stupid, but i get it, kinda, not really lol I agree that the X16D doesn't make sense in a studio, but maybe does in a live rig wanting UAD plugins.

The X16D is a strange duck in that I'm not really sure who it's targeted to other than a small niche group of users. As for the conversion, I've owned the X16 which has the same converters as the X16D. I moved on from the X16 to an Avid Carbon and it was like someone lifted a blanket that was covering my monitors. It was quite a difference and all in a better direction. On paper, the UA should have been better but their convertors just don't sound as good.

There is a big distinction to be made, "analog summing" does not make any difference, if its NOT things in the path like transformers, tubes etc. This means that really, what some people like its this color from the HW, not the summing. Straight analog wire summing does nothing to the audio except what the extra conversion trip would contribute to. If you like the sound of a transformer etc you would only need a left and right version of it, not 16 mono channels of it, although the difference in tolerance from the units might make a difference, it would also be the case with just the left and right transformer in this case.

Thinking of getting the Neve Orbit summing but I can't really afford to get that plus external I/0. I can get 12 outputs between both of my Apollos so I would only need to buy the Neve summing box. Is that worth it with Apollo conversion? Or should I focus on getting an external converter first?
