 Our Music Factory got an upgrade! We bought the Universal Audio Apollo Quad Interface, a tool that allows us to better mix and master music that we release free for you Freedom Family under Music Factory. I will let our executive producer Tim explain and unbox this device and you can click that eye to see all the music that we have available on the Music Factory channel free for you. And all the music you're listening to in this video in all episodes of The George Show is by Music Factory available free for you. Roll it Tim! Hello, this is Timothy William, executive producer of Music Factory, and today we're getting an upgrade. Right now I'm unboxing the Universal Audio Apollo Quad Interface. This will be replacing my current core setup of two Focusrite Sapphire Pro 40s. My plan is to change my core interface to the Universal Audio Apollo and run at least one of my Sapphire Pro 40 units into the Apollo via ADAP. The Universal Audio Apollo Quad Series features four UAD2 quad-core DSP processors, four units and enabled mic preamps for tracking through preamp emulations from SSL, API, and Universal Audio. So we took advantage of an offer from UAD where upon ordering specific Apollo units from authorized retailers you would receive a free UAD2 quad-core satellite. So this adds four additional DSP cores to the four already in this interface. So this will give me the flexibility of utilizing plenty of plugins without the fear of running out of DSP. You can also take the satellite with you and use your UAD plugins on the road. So this promotion runs through December 31st, 2018, so just check out www.uaudio.com for further details on that. Um, this is probably a good time to mention I'm not officially affiliated with Universal Audio, I'm just a huge fan. On its face, the Apollo Quad has two high Z inputs, a preamp control, buttons for mic and line, fan and power, polarity, a low cut, pad, and link. There's also a monitor level control and two independently controlled headphone outs. All of these settings can be controlled digitally with Universal Audio's console software. This package comes with the Analog Classics Plus Bundle, which contains the following plugins. Also, you can instantly activate any plugin in the collection for a trial period of 14 days. This is a great model as there's such an overwhelming number of plugins, and this way you can make sure you're getting the most value of the plugins you do decide to purchase. Since the arrival of this unit, I've already tried a bunch of plugins, and here are the ones that ended up in my permanent mix chain. This has already made an incredible difference in quality for Music Factory. Now to quickly cover the UAD Satellite Unit. The UAD 2 Satellite Unit adds four additional cores of DSP power, and allows you to mix with UAD plugins even if you're away from the studio. This setup gives me eight DSP cores to handle my mix template, which can get bogged down at times, and allows me to efficiently split the load between my CPU and the external DSP if needed. The Satellite is available in core or custom packages, only differentiated by the amount of plugins you get with the unit. So the Satellite is extremely easy to install, just power your computer off, plug it in, and upon reboot you'll be brought to the UAD registration site. The UAD console will see it and you're good to go. So regarding DSP usage, an extremely heavy voiceover template is costing me about 20% DSP. So it's not a very efficient template that I have for this kind of work, but the benefit is that running out of power doesn't have to be the first thing on my mind. My full and most recent mix template costs me about 68% DSP, but it's obscenely large and has way more than I need. As I load in new productions, I'm usually able to trim down the number of groups and tracks and free up a significant portion of that amount. I do plan on reviewing the plugins that made the cut on a one-by-one basis, so please like and subscribe to this channel to see those upcoming videos. Thank you, Tim. I hope you enjoyed this video.
