Q: I’ve heard users say you get “locked in” to ua’s system. what does this mean—if i’m running logic can i still use apps/plug-in’s that aren’t ua? thx

Absolutely! Our plugins and hardware can. be used with any major DAW.

Q: I do not have a thunderbolt 3 port on my mac. will this work with a mac computer if i use a thunderbolt 3 to usb 3 adapter?

If you have a Thunderbolt 1/2 port (all Macs for the past 8 years have them), then you can use Apple's TB2-3 adaptor, it works perfectly!

Q: Can you use 2 x4s on the same computer? How does it show up in console?

No, only one Twin, x4, or Apollo Solo/Arrow is supported per system.
