Frequently Asked Questions

Unison emulates the gain, impedance, and output characteristics of classic UA preamps, offering a sonic signature and interaction with UAD plugins you can’t achieve otherwise.
Universal Audio prioritizes Mac compatibility, but Windows support is well-maintained and offers a similar feature set, though occasional driver quirks can surface.
The Duo processor is best suited for a moderate number of plugins; complex projects with numerous instances will benefit from the higher processing power of the Apollo x4 or x6 models.
