The X8 along with the now included "LUNA recording system" is an absolute game changer. Amazing technology, in my opinion this is the most powerful and simple music creation solution available. Well worth the investment.

The Universal Audio Apollo X8 is an absolutely fantastic interface. I have had some experience with the "Unison Preamps" before and let me assure you. These things are incredible. if one preamp doesn't suit a vocalists timbre. Two clicks of the mouse and its different. Not only that. They're a very excitable singer. One second they're soft ,next they're belting it out. No problem. just drop a compressor in UAD's Console channel strip. Sorted. The plugins that UAD do are incredible. This is truly a professional audio interface.

The best Audio interface I've ever owned, I know people are saying that as computers become more powerful that latency will no longer be a problem, so why buy equipment with on board DSP but believe me, this is so reliable and and sounds amazing

The X8 is an excellent interface. UA's drivers are rock solid. Able to achieve 1.4ms latency at 32 samples using a Lenovo P1 mobile workstation running StudioOne. Compared to my LA610-Mkii, the Unison 610-B modeling is a very close to the real unit.
If you get to a point where you look at X8 or X6, that's great!Let me tell you that it is worth it! 100%.The best out there, and eventually, you get to the next level of Audio interfaces when you use it.Worldwide audio industry standard.
I purchased this unit when it came out to pair with my Universal Audio Apollo Twin and Thunderbolt 3 equipped MacBook. The processing power on this is amazing, the converters are top notch and with the new SHARC technology I can run tons of Universal Audio plugins in once instance whereas this was not possible before with my old setup of the previous Apollo 8, Apollo Twin AND Universal Audio Satellite. This unit enhanced my workflow and made the overall production process even more enjoyable in the process. If you are considering purchasing a new interface I strongly recommend an Apollo x model.
I have used an Apollo 8 Quad with Pro Tools on a Mac in my project studio for about 5 years. It has been bullet proof since day one. In setting up a new studio I went with the Apollo X8. It adapted to to Pro Tools on a new PC just as easily as it did on the Mac. So far it is glitchless.
An amazing product, UAD power is doing such a wonderful ad/da transfer. I do like the unison preamp the most, it costs you less to have experience on top analog preamps.
I already own this product so know how good it is. Expanding my inputs/outputs with this second unit.
