Apollo Software Manual Chapter 6: Working With Apollo 95
Selecting Apollo’s Inputs and Outputs
When the DAW is configured to use Apollo as the audio interface device, the DAW’s audio
input and output channels can be routed to/from Apollo’s I/O via the device drivers.

Default Outputs
The main stereo outputs of a DAW usually output to channels 1 & 2 by default. There-
fore, since channels 1 & 2 correspond to Apollo’s monitor outputs, the DAW’s main out-
puts are sent to Apollo’s monitor outputs by default. The channels used for output can
usually be changed in the DAW.
Apollo I/O Driver Names
Each Apollo input and output has a channel number and name provided by the Apollo
drivers. The DAW uses these numbers or names to designate the specific inputs and/or
outputs within the DAW.
Numbers vs. Names
Apollo’s drivers describe all I/O channels by name and number, but what is actually
displayed depends on each particular DAW. Names are not displayed by all DAWs (e.g.,
Ableton Live), or the driver name display mode may need to be changed in the DAW
(e.g., Apple Logic Pro).
All Apollo driver I/O numbers and names are listed in
“Driver I/O Tables” on page 118 .
These values can be used to reference specific Apollo inputs or outputs by name when
selecting I/O in an application that does not display the driver names.
