UAD Apollo Solo with M3 Macbook Pro - input stutters and glitches...

The Apollo Solo (Heritage edition, Thunderbolt 3), glitches when connecting an input signal with Logic Pro.


What happens:

  • When plugging in an instrument or mic, the signal / sound appears, then disappears, crackling and popping


The setup is correct:

  • Sonoma OS
  • The latest Logic is installed (11.2 - it also glitched with the prior version). I have uninstalled, deleted the plist in the Libraries, and reinstalled twice.
  • The lastest UAD drivers are installed, and I have correctly (3 times) uninstalled and reinstalled the UAD software, carefully following UAD instructions for Apple silicon: recovery mode, security settings, etc., etc.
  • The Apollo DOES work seamlessly on the new M3 Macbook Pro with *Pro Tools, *Ableton, browser-based SoundTrap. (The Apollo was also used without issue with a prior, Intel-based Macbook Pro.)
  • I've tried multiple brand new Thunderbolt cables
  • Brought the laptop to Guitar Center and tried other Audio Interfaces - they also worked with Pro Tools, etc., but glitched exactly the same way with Logic Pro
  • I've switched out 1/4 inch patch cables, and tried all the inputs on the Solo
  • The sample rate and bit rates are set to be the same in the UAD console and in Logic Pro
  • Record monitoring is enabled
  • Volumes are up
  • The correct Apollo "input 1" is being used and selected in Logic as the input source
  • I hear sound, and see the level meter dance up, then crackle and go silent, then suddenly make sound again and then disappear.


Has anyone else experienced this? I'm at a loss, and running behind on a recording project, and much prefer Logic to Pro Tools.



MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.7
