Apollo Software Manual Chapter 6: Working With Apollo 90
Using Apollo as an Audio Interface
Apollo functions like other (non-DSP) audio interfaces when it is used without the Con-
sole application, the Console Recall plug-in, or UAD Powered Plug-Ins. Apollo’s
Core
Audio and ASIO drivers enable it to be used for computer audio I/O routing with any Core
Audio- or ASIO-compliant audio software, including DAWs, music players (e.g., iTunes),
system software alert sounds, and similar applications.
Accessing Apollo I/O via Core Audio and ASIO
Audio is routed to and from Apollo via its Core Audio (Mac) or ASIO (Windows) device
drivers. The audio software accesses Core Audio and ASIO interfaces directly via the
audio settings/preference panel in the software, or it just uses the audio device set as the
preference in the operating system.
Apollo I/O Driver Names
Each Apollo input and output has a channel number and name provided by the Apollo
drivers to Core Audio and ASIO. If an audio software application can access Core Audio/
ASIO devices directly, it may be possible to designate specific inputs and/or outputs
within the application.
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 number or
name if allowed by the application.
Setting the I/O in the audio software application
To access Apollo’s I/O in an audio software application that can select Core Audio or
ASIO devices directly, look for a setting in the audio software application’s preferences
called “audio setup” or “output device” or similar. Each application is different; consult
the software application documentation for specifics.
