Hello Sonarworks team,
I’m reaching out to report a blocking issue with the Apollo Monitor Correction (AMC) integration in SoundID Reference.
When I use my Apollo Twin X Gen 2 alone, everything works perfectly:
The calibration profile loads via AMC
Audio is routed correctly
The Monitor Control in the UAD Console functions as expected
However, as soon as I turn on my Apollo 8 (non-X, rack unit), audio is completely cut off.
The Twin becomes the secondary interface, and SoundID appears to apply the AMC calibration to the Apollo 8 — which is not connected to my monitors.
As a result, the Twin X — my actual monitoring interface — receives no audio at all.
To get audio back, I have to:
Power down both Apollo units
Turn on only the Twin X
Relaunch SoundID Reference and manually reapply the calibration profile
This behavior makes AMC unusable in setups involving multiple Apollo interfaces (X and non-X).
What’s clearly missing is the ability to:
➡️ Manually select which Apollo device the AMC profile is applied to.
In my setup (and I imagine many other professional studios):
I use an Apollo 8 for I/O
And an Apollo Twin X for monitoring and Monitor Control
I expect AMC to work exclusively on the Twin X, without interference from the other unit
Could you please let me know:
Is this behavior known?
Do you plan to implement a device selection option?
Is there an official workaround for this kind of multi-Apollo configuration?

Even when I configure the Apollo Twin X as the master device and the Apollo 8 as the secondary (slave) in the UAD Console, the problem persists.
