Review: Stepping up to the big leagues - I’ve had an Apollo Twin for 10 years, and it’s still working great, but after expanding my outboard collection I just needed more inputs. TBH I should have bought the x8, but after including a patch bay this one is just great! Not to mention I use a ton of UAD plugins, so chaining my old Twin gives me 8 cores of DSP for big mix sessions!
Review: Perfect - Love. Upgraded from solo. Works great

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are line in and adat inputs separate (i.e. capable of being hooked up to separate sources simultaneously), or not?**
A: Yes, they are separate. x8s have a maximum of 18 simultaneous inputs, 8 analog, 8 ADAT, and 2 SPDIF.

**Q: does this come with the free mic like the other dealers?**
A: it does not.

**Q: it has two Thunderbolt 3 connector right?**
A: Yes

**Q: So this x8 comes 16 plugins at $2600 and the Heritage version only comes with 10 at $3100.00?**
A: No, the Heritage comes with the 16 that the non HE has PLUS 10 more premium plugins. That's approximately $40 per plug!! It's an incredible value.

Love. Upgraded from solo. Works great

### ⭐ All hype and no substance
*by J***R on 2 May 2019*

I got this as an upgrade to my 9 year old MBox3 and thought it would be a huge step up. Turns out it's a step down. 1) The mic pre amps are not half as good as they should be. When I a/b'd them with the MBox3, the same mic with the same amount of gain had significantly more hiss on the Apollo x6. Enough hiss that some mics that worked great with the MBox3 are unusable with the Apollo x6. 2) The hardware build is very low quality for the cost. The knobs are plastic and buttons have a lot of wiggle that feels cheap. 3) The software is buggy. The MBox3 never failed, ever. With the Apollo x6, about 2 or 3 times a day I get audio out, but no audio in. Even though the meters on the x6 show audio coming in, I don't see anything in the console app or in my DAW. The only way I know how to fix this is to cycle the hardware on and off. 4) The included plug-ins are all old vintage stuff and not a mix of new and old. Vintage processing is nice for certain situations, but modern/clean processing is also very useful. Unfortunately you have to pay extra for that.
