Yes, that's how I do it now but you can do it a little simpler with the Apollo Quad Thunderbolt version. Not sure if I'll keep the Apollo, I still have a few days for it to totally impress me but it's been fun trying it out. Got it at Sweetwater when they had the big Fathers Day 10% bonus deal. Before I got the Quad, I first tried the USB3 version but it was very noisy, then the TB DUO version but it couldn't handle more than a few plugs at once (and which cost me about $900 upgrading my computer to Thunderbolt 3 ability). Now I have the Quad version but Sonar still crashes often with the "Audio Drop" message popping up too often for my liking. Sometimes it works smoothly, other times, not so much. Not really sure if it's the Apollo's fault. I guess that's a whole new thread I need to start.
