I love antelope's products and I hope they continue to expand and keep creating great products

[@JudgeFredd]

Very interesting interview !

[@Studio22mix]

Great interview, very informative ❤

[@lorez6063]

I have never had as many problems with any piece of music equipment as I have with an AA product. Their sound is spectacular but the drivers were dog shit unreliable for so long, coupled with the broken promises means I will never buy anything from them ever again. They released the product like an EA game, overcharged for early access, and barely worked. Once burned, twice the fool. Shame, seems like a nice guy. Just untrustworthy.

[@Studio22mix]

There used to be problems with the drivers but that seems to be fixed now. Okay not a great start I agree but many engineers use their equipment these days and seem to have no problems with them. I can understand it wouldn’t be a nice experience if that happens.
