Perfect Companion to the Apollo for a small studio or as a way into UAD Plugins!
The boost This provide my apollo on the DSP front i have found priceless, granted you could just bounce any files and print the effects "to tape" its definitely useful and allows for more extensive experimentation on the fly.
Hey, I kind of know that Satellite is for storing plugins but is it handy for data backup too? What does this basically do and who do people mainly use it for?
Hi sorry for the late reply this isnt like a hard drive it doesnt store your plugins those are still stored on your computer, this basically runs the plugins instead of your CPU having to run them. People use it because UAD replicate analog hardware which has a certain sound to it (which i didnt believe until i bought one of these to try it out). Also you cant back any data up to it, its basically an external CPU which runs the UAD plugins, but at the same time it acts as a key allowing you to run UAD plugins (so you can use UAD plugins without UAD external DSP) I hope this helps
