I would definmitely check reviews of Antelope's customer service before buying ANYTHING from them.
and shady business practices
+1 to everyone mentioning Antelope’s awful, almost non-existent support. Say what you want about UA’s pricing, but both their quality control and support are unparalleled.
Antelope aftersale is non existent. If you have an issue, they will tell you to downgrade firmware and move on. If it doesn't work. They will tell you to downgrade even more.
AFX2DAW is completely non functioning for WIndows users in most cases despite them charging 299 for it.
On the ZenQ, there is an issue where most compressor plugins will stop working after a few moments and sometimes it produces a loud beep when the plugins fail as well.
Still hasn't been fixed after more than a year.
The hardware might be solid. But the software and the aftersales is anything but.
Also don't confuse the realtime AFX which runs on the DSP with the regular AFX plugins which don't run on the DSP and you don't need any special interface for.
When you buy one, you don't get the other.
It's 1 thing to say you agree with others saying that their support is "terrible" but you don't give any examples
I'm sure just like any business charging out the behind for audio products (that are not expensive to make) there is some "shadyness" but at least stat your experience (albeit one sided) so I can judge based on that rather than, Source; trust me bro
@@Notinserviceij Not sure why my original reply was removed (or maybe it's just me who can't see it anymore?) but I can give you examples if you want. Coming from someone who generally loves their hardware but still wouldn't promote it to anyone.
- All their firmware 'fixes' when you have an issue with firmware of an interface are (in order): downgrade firmware, reinstall firmware, reinstall downgraded firmware, reinstall your computer OS (even tho it's a hardware firmware issue), send device for repair but get the same device back but with firmware upgraded firmware which they told you to downgrade. After that, it's your fault or you get ghosted.
-Their AFX2DAW on their USB interfaces are advertised to work and you are able to buy a license for it. But it will barely work. As in, mostly the software crashes the interface the moment you load the VST.
-There are a lot of issues with their AFX plugins for years now and they haven't been fixed or even updated and most of it gets ignored.
And this isn't just me. You'll find a lot of people having give up on their interfaces. Especially those who bought it specifically for the DSP processing.
I still run Antelope because their routing is fantastically deep and complicated and they do sound good.
But people have to know what they are getting into.
@@NotinserviceijIt takes 10 seconds to hit google and find another 100 reviews talking about their bricked, disconnecting Antelope devices. You won’t find sources because links aren’t allowed in these comments.
@@Notinserviceij Or you could get over yourself, and just ask about the specific incident, lol.
Sturdy tv tray appears stronger than that old folding table 😂
Where is the paid promotion notice?
Doh!!! Forgot to check that off. Fixed! Thanks for the heads up!
@@SpectreSoundStudios 🤨🤨📸💥
Having to warn people about paid promotion has never bothered me, and I never understood why it should be anyone's problem. . This video was perfect .
@@miguelluigisantoslopes1528 thanks for the random input, but if you're doing paid promotion, you declare it's paid promotion. It's kind legally binding, y'know?
@@miguelluigisantoslopes1528 Because some people are not honest, and when a person might have a monetary reason to not want to disparage a product, the consumer might want to be aware of that fact.
Yeah these are great when they work. But. Everyone I know who has one tells me they only work about 75% of the time at best.
I will speak an owner of an Antelope ZenQ TB working on PC
The bad:
-It took them almost two years after they released the interface to release the Thunderbolt 4 driver. In this time I was using their interface as a door stopper.
-You need to download a third party software (free) to work with windows audio
-You need to be very tech savvy (nerd level required) and even then their products have a learning curve. These are not plug & play.
-Their plugins are good but no match to the UA plugins
The nice:
-They now have excellent customer support. I mean EXCELLENT. They always respond ASAP. They even fixed my interface for free when the cat stepped on the thunderbolt cable and broke the TB adapter 😛
-ZenQ sounds so much better than the Apollo intefaces. I am really happy that I chose it. These converters are real studio quality.
-Their plugins cost a lot less that UA plugins when they have them on sale which is almost always :) Some people don't like this practice calling it "shady". For me it's no biggie.
YES GLENN
More interface reviews please 👏👏👏👏👏
It’s not a review it’s a paid advert
I have Zen Go, but for no reason, it stopped working on my Windows system. It was such a headache getting Windows to recognize it again. I switched to a Mac Studio, and it's been flawless ever since.
I'd say try rolling back to a previous bundle. Oddly enough for my Zen Q, it was the Antelope Launcher that was bugged, but the device and driver was perfectly fine.
Does it have built in DSP mixing for all the ADAT and SPDIF inputs?
Thats kind of a must so you dont have to monitor through the DAW with all the latency it gives
Haven’t watched in a while Glenn. Glad to see you’re still cranking away at videos!
S/PDIF: Connect a Helix or AxeFx3 digitally to the audio interface. Quite useful.
My AF3 is in and out of mine.
I connect my Kemper via SPDIF
I have a Helix LT. How can I connect to S/PDIF and what are the benefits?
I usually stick with Audient cause of their top quality pre-amp or RME of course, but this looks interesting nevertheless. Thanks for the video Glenn!
I'd stick with Audient as well. It's tried and true. Then rme is amazing with their drivers.
In a world where the RME Babyface exists, it’s hard to justify literally anything else in the sub-$1k market
Recently downscaled to a Audient iD14 MKII since I don’t need much when the bigger studio/live rack isn’t turned on.
Even the cheap Audient interfaces deliever.
@@JoeBaermann They upped the specs on the MKII stuff, converters, SNR etc, they do a great job.
RME is just made for a very long term. Everyone who has RME stuff loves RME. They still have stuff from 2010 or whatever and are still happy, including low latencies and phenomenal drivers still being updated for the old hardware.
hows it stack up to the Clarrett + 2/4 pre?
i had other Soundcards,never regretted for buying Apollo.
Would I be better to get this or a 4th gen Scarlett 4i4?
Customer support was great for me!
I will be the first to say it.
As usual, people only type to complain, not to compliment so it’s easier to find the odd complaint than good reviews.
I have used Antelope for over 10 years. First unit performed flawlessly the entire time. Not one issue. Ever.
I got a new Galaxy 32, it had a couple of faulty inputs. Reported it to customer support and had a brand new unit from the factory to my door (in New Zealand!) within 5 days. Best customer support I have ever experienced new unit is flawless and performance is incredible.
Drivers are rock solid.
Most of the complaints I see come from people running a PC and for many reasons they will always run into some kind of compatibility issues by virtue of what they are. Antelope and Apple are rock solid together.
Over the years 99% of customer complaints to ANY audio manufacturer have come from PC users, it’s not an exclusive Antelope issue.
I only ever used a Mac with the Zen Go I had that broke down. Sounds like you don’t have any actual data
@@JoeJoel haha how is not knowing about your 1 case mean I have no data? I didn’t claim that no apple user has ever had issues did I?! What a ridiculous statement.
What do you think about the Universal Audio Volt 476p? I am digging the adat connection on the Zen, though. But the Volt has some damn good preamps built in.
Glenn. I was wondering about auto gain features. What is the “magic” level these interfaces shoot for, and do you use these levels?
Yes! Back to the basics! Indeed! This is why I follow you! Thanks GLan!
I’ll be sure to tell Glan next time I see him! :)
I’ve been pretty stoked on the Audient ID14 I picked up recently. The fact that I can control plugins with the monitor knob is great. I also run a control surface for mixing, but adding the audients knob into the equation is extra control I like. The mic pres it has aren’t too bad either. They’re kind of there as a couple extras if needed, but when I’ve used them I’ve gotten good results. The converters are solid too. We live in an amazing time in recording. In 2007 I had a Pro Tools HD rig, a 96io. I like this Audient interface so much better. Oh how times have changed.
How do you think Antelope would stack up compared ti the Audient iD24 10 and the SSL2 or SSL12?
Yes we do need a comparison. In my country the antelope Quadro is placed near the id44 in price. I ordered the Quadro, so I'll let ya know if I have any issues, that people say online. I hope they don't disappoint! 😥
Impressive how all instruments still sound clear. Even when using a lot of distrortion on the guitar, it doesn't sound muddy or clipped. Nice little box.
I just bought a UAD Volt 476P a few days ago because you did a review on the new volt a while ago.
Gleeennnnn !! I like the power pound ! You appear excited and involved….
Always entertaining. FU2 !!!
Im so glad they included the spdif cause that way i can monitor the guitars or Bass through a Kemper or Helix with zero latency while i record directly into the Interface for the DI.
Loved Terry Bozio's drum cameo. Your Chanel rocks.
that's a nice little device! I'm using a SSL12 which is surprisingly almost the same, minus included plugins, plus two more mic inputs and switchable 4K pres that sound sweeeeeeet on bass guitar
I’ve had a UA Arrow (now called the Apollo Solo) for 8 years now and it has been absolutely flawless. Back then it was $499 but worth every penny. When it comes time to upgrade, I’m definitely going with an Apollo product. Paired with the Luna software, it’s unbeatable.
could you review the artura audiofuse studio? I feel like it doesn't receive a lot of credit for the features it has
NEVE console a mid monitors.... will you ever upgrade them? do you not think it's worth it?
Mid for a studio with a the money for a Neve console.. not really Mid monitors in general... just in relativity
So, Glenn... what about us mere peasants who cannot afford such glorious hardware?
Any chance you could give this subject the Glenn Fricker treatment and get something like a big Behringer and maybe some other budget options coupled up with some Reaper plug-ins for maximum bang-for-buck?
Thanks for sharing your expertise once again mate, always appreciated 👍
Bro when are we gonna get the reveal for the analog vs digital video? Or did I somehow miss it?
It’s coming
The one month of the 'YT review campaign' is probably the only time these antelope interfaces will have stable drivers and software in their life cycle.
I bought an antelope interface when they went on sale a few months ago. Massive upgrade from my presonus interface. The only complaint I have…
The software is finicky.. sometimes you will go to track, and will get no sound. After some trial and error, it seems like the onboard plugins will just stop working. You’ll have to remove them from the signal chain and build the chain again. That seems to have fixed that issue, until it decides to do it again.
All in all, I’m very pleased with the purchase!
Would like to see your opinion on the current mbox that is available.
Glenn great video, ive watched you for years and we share the same problem. Everyone says we are too loud lol.
I love all the advice you give, im actually going to ask a question. Im wanting to do some recording and composing. Im overwhelmed by all the gear and im just a dumb bass player lol. Im doing a home studio, i will be doing small recordings sessions but also want to do an entire band. Im struggling deciding on an interface. Im not looking at budget models because you get what you pay for. That being said ive recently gotten excited seeing the tascam model 24 mixer with built in recording. Whats your opinion on it for my uses and any other options you recommend. Im all ears.
Thanks for all the content and education, cant wait for more. 🎉
I saw it yesterday on Warren Huart's channel and I like this interface a lot Except that two inputs are on the front and two on the back What where they thinking cos this might be a showstopper for me. I have to think about this🤔
Thoughts on the Clarett?
What the UA Apollo products do is unlock the plugin universe (usually licensed by the OG manufacturers themselves) which are REALLY GOOD, IMO.
Fantastic way to end a video! 👍🤩
Always wondered about antelope audio stuff
Given tight budgets for home recording, what's more important to you: a ReAmp box or an Audio Interface?
i would love to hear your opinion on the IK multimedia axe i/o one
That new table intro was 🔥
I only say this from experience. I had an earlier zen interface. It was cool. Until it bricked during a firmware update. I will say between their customer service and Sweetwater, I got it replaced.
But while waiting for the new one I got to reading and realized they don’t seem to support their interfaces for very long and are always coming out with a “newer better” one. I didn’t like that so I sold it and went back to metric halo. They are the only ones I know of still supporting their original interface (the 2882) that came out in like 2002.
And then recently another studio reviewer posted his experience with the contract he was asked to sign before even getting the gear. He didn’t say which company it was, but…. Yeah it’s pretty obvious who it was.
So I’m kind of surprised Glenn is doing this review.
Why Sweetwater stopped carrying the brand.
Either Glenn didn’t do any research or the $$$ made it worth it to him. haha
@@jonkuenningwow. Didn’t realize Sweetwater had quit carrying them. But I obviously wasn’t the only one having issues. Seems a shame. It was a good sounding box. But CS is more important than that.
Yeah. Sound quality and build quality were on par with UA. But that’s meaningless if the software doesn’t work and there’s no support in fixing it. Another stupid quirk (maybe this has changed) but you had to be connected to the internet at all times for it to work. Never understood why they didn’t have an offline registration like utilizing ilok or as UA does use the unit itself as a big ilok type device.
Sweetwater no longer carries Antelope products. That speaks volumes.
"i haven't used 'spa-difs' since like 2000"😂🍻
Im 9 seconds in. im assuming Glen is showing us Apollo alternatives which i will be so happy about
How would you rate this against an equivalent Focusrite interface?
Just came here to say the same! I would love to see a comparison between these and a scarlett 2i2 3rd gen
It would be great if we could get a blind test as well. That would help shut up some gear purists.
@@EXPLICITBG Can you provide a link to a blind test like you are recommending? I'd like to see how its all set up in an actual test environment. I'm thinking of doing some blind testing myself, but if its not set up right, it will be a waste of time.
@@AT-wl9yq I haven’t seen one properly done yet.
I love my Motu M4 and it only cost me $215 on sale.
The reason you buy units like these is because they will offload plugins to run on the device using dedicated processors, so it reduces cpu load on your computer. It made sense at the time, because it was the 2000's and early 2010s, and computers were maybe dual core, and much slower, for much of the time. and if you're spending that much to run plugins, why not build a nice interface as well?
M4 is only an interface, no offboard processing.
The thing I don't understand is why you would buy one today, when you get more bang for your buck spending that money on the PC and you can get more than enough processing power to handle every plugin you want to throw at things with cores to spare.
@@cthalupa6879 if you’ve already heavily invested in their ecosystem. But yeah, I’d buy that m4 over an apollo
I'd love to see your take on the Sterling Audio Harmony H224 USB Audio Interface. I got one a little while ago at $80 new and I think it's pretty solid for a beginner interface but would love to see someone really put it through its paces.
Great features!
Have you looked at the Audient ID44?
Q: How important is the interface to your DAW for guitar? Are the expensive ones worth it in general? I don't actually own a fancy/expensive standalone interface. I typically use my L6 Helix as an interface for DI into a DAW. I also have a nearly 10 YO Apogee JAM 96k which I use with macs, ipads, etc. In a pinch, I've even used my L6 Powercab+ 212 as a DI into Helix Native when my Helix Floor was being repaired (both the Helix Floor and Powercab+ have 1/4" iinput jacks and can digitize the signal and send it over USB to you PC/MAC). They all sounded fine to me. Do I just have a tin ear or something?
An interface is basically just an ADC with the necessary analog electronics to get the analog signal into good shape to be sampled, right? Obviously, there can be differences in the quality/design of the analog part (which I'd think could possibly make a big difference), and of course the ADC itself, its max bit rate, sample size, etc. But can we really hear these differences in the end?
I have the Zen Go (most basic interface from Antelope). Used to have a few issues with my 2012 Macbook Pro. I'd call them and they'd walk me through the solution. Then I upgraded to MacStudio and the issues were gone.
I'd say go for it as long as you have a relatively new Mac and you speak english fluently (to call Customer Support if needed).
Antelope Audio sound excellent. My recent experience has been great with a Discrete 8. Brilliant interface. The software for my Orion studio before was less than stellar to be fair, but lately, Im ok on Mac anyway.
I have 22 Microphones hooked up on my drum set. 4ch for the 2 Kick Drums, 2ch for Snare, 9ch for the 9 Toms, 1x HH, 1x Ride, 4x OH, 1x Mono Room
And yes, most of the time I'm acually hitting ALL of the 9 Toms.
Hooked it up inexpensively, with 3x Behringer 8ch preamps via ADAT to RME digiface usb then to Cubase. Works absolutely fine.
Not everybody can afford a Simon Philips setup. But: For adequate A/D conversion of extremely loud Metal drums, you don't need all hi end stuff (mics/preamps/converters). Average quality is just okay.....the rest is ears and adjusting mic placement and gain level.
You can do aggregate device on windows using VB-Audio Matrix Coconut
Just picked up an Antelope Orion Synergy Core with 8 modeling mics and all their Core plugins (not Native) from VK at a good price, and I have to say that Antelope’s support has been excellent so far.🤷♂️
Glenn, you should look at the MBOX STUDIO - incredible value right now. $600 and comes with perpetual pro tools license. 21in/22out / reamp output on-board / two independent headphone mixes / carbon pres / adat in/out / bluetooth in/out
It DESTROYS the twin in my opinion. Biggest update to my home setup in years and I'm really happy with it.
amazing Review As Always,❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥🔥🔥🔥,BTW now You did much cheaper option rather than universal apollo twin can you do battle review like this with 5 star score between Rme Babyface & apollo & arturia AudioFuse Studio?
I use my Apollo 8x for live mixing using the UA plugins
Is it actually better or just cheaper and maybe even marginally worse? It's a huge difference in price. I would treat like being a quote from a contractor -- don't get the cheapest or the most expensive.
I really think they messed up leaving the reamp outs off of this unit. The reamp outs is what has me interested in the zen tour. Leaving that feature out of the new unit leaves me wanting their old product.
do u have DSP hardware as UAD has? coz that's the cool stuff about UAD
this one does
The plastic bag routine caused me to imagine my fingers around the neck of our drummer choking him to death..
This has been a constant with all the drummers we've ever had, and for various reasons.
Now I have to try and get that picture out of my head.
Sure there isn't aggregate devices on Windows, but VB Audio is working on a Matrix driver that can function as such.
what's the hype about the apollo twin btw? just 2 inputs 2 outputs and an adat, that's it or am i missing something? the dsp? most have that nowadays
Nice. I'm in the market for a new interface and this brand always had me interested.
Go for Audient or RME though. Better companies and support.
@@QuickQuipsI'm using Audient id44 and I'm not that happy with it. I find myself missing the pre's etc on my older interface which is out of production now. I've tried RME but a lower model and I didn't like the breakout cable which had really thin XLR wire which can't be good for the signal. But a bigger RME with on-board XLR does interest me.
@@QuickQuipsbtw perhaps Glenn should add this to reviews: Ask questions via whatever setup Antelope or XYZ company has for user tech support. See how long it takes for support to respond.
RME if you can afford the extra cost. The difference is huge.
I own an orion studio synergy core and it was the best decision ever. Everything else in this price range is far behind it by miles, sound quality, connectivity and also the software once you get use to its workflow, everthing else seems very restricting
Isnt the UA Arrow at that price point?
No reason to ditch my Tascam 208i yet. I have eight outputs, and with two Behringer preamps I have 20 in. I have two headphone jacks for monitoring. When you have gear that works, use it.
Antelope stuff is great but the customer service sucks
Their software is pretty terrible unfortunately
weird how they ripped off the AMD ryzen logo, and call it Zen, as in the zen cores in AMDs CPUs
I have a love/hate relationship with Antelope.
If I don't mess with the software it is incredible and is the best sounding interface I've ever had.
As soon as I want to change something with the mixer software or the effects, I end up reloading the saved settings, I've saved after a successful setup 😅
But my one contact with customer service was really good.
It's hard to recommend Antelope to someone, but I made my peace with it and finally like it 😅
To output or record using multiple devices on Win10 & 11can be done pretty easily. All you need to setup is configure inside the stereo mix within the sound settings your 2 devices. There is a guide at how to geek- "How to Play Audio From Multiple Outputs in Windows 11". This works the same on Win10. Also, hilariously Microsoft had to recall the recall feature do to data like passwords being saved in plain text. Who's security, never heard of them??
Couple things: $600 is still a shitton of money. I have a super basic Behringer UM2 interface that...works? I've been looking at upgrading to a Focusrite Scarlett, but I don't want to waste my money if there's no noticeable difference in terms of tone or headroom (the Behringer seems to handle my EMG 81/60 pickups just fine). I don't care about whatever software comes bundled with it, because it's gonna be fed right into Reaper with my own effects and other stuff.
Could we get a shootout between cheap interfaces (like my Behringer UM2) against some other popular interfaces? Thanks Glenn, and fuck you!
I prefer the rapid-fire unboxing. I just wanna know what I'm getting, what it does, how well it does it, and if I need to buy anything extra like cables and such. Not into the PT Barnum shit of cutting it open and playing with the packaging.
would love to see you review a PreSonus interface for the same price or cheaper :) thx for great videos glenn 🤘
I've had a great experience with Antelope interfaces and have always been able to resolve issues with their customer service or a simple update. Maybe I'm just lucky? I am a Mac user, so I think that helps. Personally, I would go with RME or a newer MOTU interface before UA. They are both fast, stable/reliable, and have good sound quality. I do like the UA plugins though. Excellent stuff! Interesting that a hardware company killed it on the software, while the hardware has serious shortcomings (listed below). Of course, if you are happy with your UA interface, then by all means keep using it!!
"The only problem is that it is $999." Honestly, If that was the only problem I would have stuck with the Apollo. They are certainly very stable and user friendly. But.....The UA interfaces are too slow to play guitar with native plugins. They don't have enough memory to mix full band tracks without buying more UA devices or using native plugins. The converters aren't nearly as good as Antelope, especially the DAC. There is no digital out in the Apollo, so you can't use a different DAC. The plugins are very expensive (I own most of them anyways haha). Maybe the newest high-end UA interfaces are better. I haven't had a reason to try those. At $999 for two preamps, I expect an interface to be competitive on all technical specs, not just 2 or 3.
"Drummers don't put this bag over your heads!"
I couldn't help but notice that he only addressed drummers and not bass players.
The bass players were given notice: “Not to be used as a space helmet”
Apple is the gibson of electronic devices
I'd like you to compare it with the audient id14 or id44
yeah, its called the apollo solo....its like $499 and its exactly the same as the apollo twin..
Except for ? Twin =2 Solo =1
I wouldn’t go near Antelope after their treatment of me and many customers.
Cheap gear is awesome but sometimes I worry it was made with forced labor or sweatshop conditions. I like affordable stuff but man, this world we live in
I’d like to see a review of the TASCAM model 12 since it claims to be a mixer/interface all at once
I would also recommend the SSL 2+
I switched to Antelope about 7 months ago and i wish i would have done it sooner. Great interfaces!
As an Antelope owner I'm a bit mixed on it. It used to be a pain in the A$$ due to routing. Now, it works ok once you learn to navigate.
Honest thoughts on this unit: If you're going to be using amp sims and lots of sim stuff, get it. It's very useful. HOWEVER, if you're using real preamps, real amps and microphones, it's not worth it. I'd get a cheaper interface. Maybe even the new Presonus Quantum. Just my 2 cents!
One of the questions that I wonder about on this unit, why no ADAT output? The ADAT chip most likely has both input and output connections, so how much more would it cost to add second ADAT connection? To me, adding 8 more outputs would greatly out weigh the cost of second connection! Just a thought...😁
I have the Zen Go and it's a work horse. So reliable
Hmm I wonder what advantage this interface has over audient id44, which is about the same price...
I still can't find an interface that is more bang for buck than this one but this one may be different?
It's the DSP. But I own an iD24 and won't change it for a Zen.
Windows has ODeus ASIO Link which allows you to map multiple asio devices & Windows audio device together.
The Apollo Twin is really only necessary if you want the native plugins from UA.
THis.
Glenn, I have a 2000 Marshall head and cabinet . The head stinks because we all know Marshall quit doing things right and 83 that being said I bought a katana GEN 300 W head which as our good friend would say can chug my problem is this I’m getting into the effects part of my amplifier in want to start recording, but I do not know all the abbreviations you use and you talk rather fast you have a show that just goes over a very simplistic set up for a guitar player to start recording thanks I love your show
Please Czech out the A&H CQ-20B (as an interface)!
I thought SPDIF and by extent ion TOSLINK died with USB3 and Thunderbolt 3. Well if you have older equipment then there is a useful port for it. Nice thought.
I really like the Presonus Revelator, it’s been really solid for me
Glenn, if you really want your audience to get the best bang for the buck, you should checkout and maybe do a video on the motu ultralite mk5
The beast audio interface!
Well... I owned the zen Go model and plz... the rotary knob lasted less than a year. The interaction that you have to be connected to them all the time is terrible. Support is... not supportive. Went on RME UCXII which ok, is so overkill for me but its just ON...and works.
These days, it’s hard to find crap gear across most budgets. I like my UA Apollo equipment but you don’t need it unless you want to track through their plugins.
“Now, fuck off” 😂 You cracked me up at the end there with that. 👏🏽
