It looks like the public launch of the Apollo is getting nearer. UA just released a bunch of Apollo Console Application video's in HD. About 30 minutes worth, from using the Console Application to setting it up with various DAW hosts (Cubase, Pro Tools, Live & Logic Pro).
Scroll down to the "Apollo" video section: Videos - Blog - Universal Audio

I had a feeling they were going fly off the shelves (before they got there)... When I placed my order, besides telling me not to depend on the Feb. 29th date and expect my Apollo more like early march (1st or 2nd week), They also told me that they were only getting a limited amount and my order was part of that 1st batch of Apollo's they were getting. Like I said, we'll see how true that is come next week.
Here's the latest video I found about setting up the Apollo with Pro Tools Setting up Apollo w/ Pro Tools - YouTube | |

UA are working on daisy chaining Apollo units. They aren't making promises but know there is demand for it.

These are new converters and NOT borrowed from any other existing UA devices. They have been designed to be clean & transparent so that coloration can be done at the users own discretion (ie with the tape plug ins and if recording say orchestral material with no coloration)

Installing OS v 6.1.1 will automatically upgrade all your existing UAD plug ins to work in their new "input" mode allowing them to work with Apollo.

There are "hooks" built into the software to allow controllers to drive the mixer in future. UA are aware this is a popular request.

Inputs 1-4, can the preamps be bypassed? If so, is it done in the software or on the unit?

It's seems "Rock 'n Roll'.
Print the sound you want at the tracking stage.
No looking back, no need to "freeze" so you can re-do later.
Commit to sound you like and move on. Goodby to the "tweak forever" mentality.
Use the plug in power for mix-down.
It's a tracking thing.
