Can confirm, for whatever reason Facetime does seem to only wanna take input 1 from my Apollo Twin Duo TB. So far, it's working like a champ because I can adjust both how loud I sound to myself and how loud the other end sounds to me. I call mine VoIP since I'm using Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, and other apps with this configuration. It then takes those inputs, sends them over to the AUX 1 output, and the only reason we get to hear the sound is because we set the Cue Outputs to Mix as it relates to the headphones.ДЄgain, I'm not quite clear on what the last part of that means, but the bottom line is that it works with no additional software.Д«e sure to save this setting (presuming it works) by clicking Sessions at the bottom-right of the Console, and doing another Save As. When your partner talks back to you, that audio gets sent to VIRTUAL 1 and VIRTUAL 2, which Console treats as audio INPUTS. Best I can say: when you talk into the mic, that signal is routed from the mic through the apollo's AUX 1 channel, which then sends out to Skype/Zoom/whatever you're using. Usually you can do this by hitting up that app's preferences and choosing Audio.Д¬ool, so what's it all mean? I don't know, I'm not an audio engineer. preferences to use Universal Audio Apollo for both the input and the output and give it a test.

Click the Cue Outputs button and set HP to Mix.ДЇinally, be sure to set your Skype/Zoom/etc.

In the Source section just right of AUX 1, set it to Mix.

Click the AUX 1 button, or make sure that it's illuminated so you see the AUX 1 faders.On the left side of the Console, click Sends.I renamed it 'Mac' since my computer is a Mac, and all of the sounds in this particular input are coming right from my computer-not a microphone or some other instrument. Rename this to something that makes sense.This links VIRTUAL 1 (the left speaker/channel) and VIRTUAL 2 (the right speaker/channel) together into one input. Right-click Virtual 1 at the bottom, and choose Link.if you have a laptop like I do, these changes won't affect your audio when you unplug the Apollo they only apply when it's plugged in. Also noteworthy: you're only making these changes to the Apollo device. This routes all computer audio output to these virtual channels, which we'll be using as audio INPUTS (from the Console's perspective) in a moment. Set Configuration to Stereo, and set Left front and Right front to VIRTUAL 1 and VIRTUAL 2, respectively.Find your Apollo in the left sidebar and click on it.

Open Spotlight and search for 'audio midi setup'.OUTPUT YOUR COMPUTER AUDIO TO VIRTUAL CHANNELS 1 AND 2 Now that we have a known good configuration saved, let's get to work on another configuration that you can use when you want to use Skype and all the other lousy VoIP apps out there. and give it a name that makes sense for what you're usually working on. Ready? Let's get started!ДЇirst, make sure your Apollo is plugged in and turned on.Д«efore we get going, it's a good idea to save your current Console 2.0 settings if you haven't already. Hope this helps someone, because it's sure helping me now.
