Insert Effects
Overview
Console’s primary function is to control Apollo’s input monitoring features. Using Con-
sole, Apollo’s inputs can be recorded without signal processing (dry) or with Realtime
UAD processing (wet) via the Insert Effects switch.
By using Console to monitor live audio, the operator can record the Realtime UAD Pro-
cessing either dry or wet without any I/O buffering and the latencies associated with
software monitoring via the DAW.
Important:
Unison plug-in processing in Console’s PREAMP insert is always routed
to the DAW, regardless of the current Insert Effects setting (Unison PREAMP in-
sert processing is always recorded). See the
Function of the Insert Effects Switch
The Insert Effects switch determines if the DAW records Console’s inputs with or without
Realtime UAD Processing, regardless of the actual wet or dry state of the monitor mix.
This is accomplished by routing Console’s inputs into the DAW from before the plug-in
inserts (dry recording) or after the plug-in inserts (wet recording).
Note: Recording into a DAW with or without Realtime UAD Processing via the
Insert Effects switch is a global function. The function cannot be individually
enabled per input.
Record With Effects
When Record With Effects is active, Apollo’s hardware input
signals are processed by Console’s UAD plug-in inserts before
routing into the DAW.
In this mode, the post-insert (wet) state of all Console inputs
with Realtime UAD Processing is routed to the DAW inputs.
Record With Effects is active when the Insert Effects REC button pulses red.
Note: This setting is used to record “wet” with Realtime UAD Processing.
Monitor With Effects
When Monitor With Effects is active, Apollo’s hardware input sig-
nals are routed directly into the DAW before being processed by
Console’s UAD plug-in inserts.
In this mode, the pre-insert (dry) state of all Console inputs is
routed to the DAW inputs, even if Realtime UAD Processing is oc-
curring in the monitor mix.
Record With Effects is off when the Insert Effects MON button is green.
Note: This setting is used to record “dry” when Realtime UAD Processing is active.
