You should buy the Universal Audio Apollo Twin USB if you're not using an Apple computer. Universal Audio works almost exclusively with Thunderbolt technology (and Apple), but they were nice enough to create ONE alternative. If you're running Windows, your best option is the Apollo Twin USB.
Is the Apollo solo worth it?
I think the Apollo Solo is a solid value. It's certainly many times more expensive than an entry level audio interface, but it's also worth every penny. In terms of quality, you'll never out grow it. In terms of plugins, it's a great deal.

What is the difference between Apollo x8 and x8p?
The Apollo x8 is an 18×24 device with 4 Unison Preamps, 8 line inputs, and 10 line outs—2 of which are dedicated to monitor output. The x8p is a 16×22 interface and changes things up a bit with 8 Unison preamps via 8 Neutrik Combo jacks.
Why is the Apollo interface so good?
The Apollo Twin is a well-thought-out portable interface that is a pleasure to use. It offers uncompromising audio quality and access to UA's excellent library of Powered Plug-ins, along with the intriguing possibilities of the new Unison preamp modelling.
Are Apollo interfaces worth it?
It's certainly many times more expensive than an entry level audio interface, but it's also worth every penny. In terms of quality, you'll never out grow it. In terms of plugins, it's a great deal. The two limiting factors are the number of inputs/outputs, and the processing power.
Who makes the Apollo interface?
Universal Audio
Which Apollo interface is best?
Out of all the larger Apollo Twin audio interfaces, I recommend the x8p. The fact that it features hexa-core DSP processing is great and worse comes to worst, you can always add an additional Universal Audio Satellite. Another thing you need to keep in mind is that these larger interfaces are rackmount, not desktop.

How many inputs does Apollo x6 have?
Apollo x6 offers 16 x 22 simultaneous inputs/outputs (6 x 12 analog I/O) and two built- in Thunderbolt 3 ports, which are backwards-compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 Macs via adapter (sold separately).
What makes the Apollo Twin so good?
The Apollo Twin brings impressive sound quality and UA plug-ins to the desktop, along with unusually versatile mic preamps! As with the larger Apollo and Apollo 16, this makes it possible not only to use UA plug-ins at mixdown, but to employ them in the monitor or record path with very low latency.
Do I need an Apollo Twin?
You should buy the Universal Audio Apollo Twin MkII if your computer doesn't include Thunderbolt 3 ports. If you're going to need more DSP, you're better off going big with one of the Universal Audio Satellites (HEXA/OCTO). For the most part though, you should be capable of recording two tracks with 2-3 plugins each.
