Hi Ed , how do you think this rates on preamp and converters sound quality when compared to the id14mk11 and the Apollo solo. ..cheers
@@theblackcountrybandit1430 The Antelope converters and preamps are probably the cleanest of the bunch. I’d say the UA plugins are superior though.
@@EdThorne , ya reckon the plugins are vastly superior ? Are they noticably better ,
@@theblackcountrybandit1430 I had phasing issues in this video (and the next part about recording a full band (link in description)) but I've been told to check some stuff to try and fix that so I should do that before I comment further. A comparison will be coming out soon.
@@EdThorne ok , cheers ed
🔥
Just purchased ZEN GO would have been nice if you had just used the effects that came with the zen go august/september Deal, 2021 bundle no plans to purchase any others at present.
Great Video keep up the good work
Thanks, Dave. Enjoy the ZenGo. It’s a great interface.
@@EdThorne Clean the fog been lifted
I was using a berhringer FCA1616 why did no one tell me! I seen the light. My whole system sounds cleaner the fog gone. Budget pro audio; they been conning me and you hehe.
How good this interface works with third party plugins and hows the latency buffer performance
I would be interested to see/hear the differences to the Discrete 4 Synergy Core, which sounded for me more transperent. b w
I got the Native sub and those toys are ''OHMYGOD'' :P .Are they CPU intensive on your end (if you use them natively as well) or is it on my end ?
Thanks for the video, yes the phasing is very weird, what can it be?
I have a feeling it’s to do with parallel DSP processing. I will enquire with Antelope.
Great vid! Where you able to get an answer from Antelope regarding the Compressor phasing issue?
Thanks. Not an explanation I was happy with, no! And I've since had software issues so can't even check...
@@EdThorne Hope you resolve your software issues. Excellent channel, cheers from Montreal!
Thanks for this video. I have an iMAC Mini m1 and AI is the ZENQ as per Antelope I should be able to use it the same way as ZenGo, but when using Garage band it won't allow me to use the effects of ZENQ from Antelope. Do you know how can I fix this issue, or should I get a different DAW? Please advice. And thanks for this video, very informative. Still watching at the moment. I will really appreciate your feedback and advice. Thanks again.
As far as I know, afx2daw isn’t M1 compatible yet…
Any idea what caused all that ugly phasing? Was it a software plugin issue? Have they fixed it, if so? Great vid!
I'm using essentially the same signal chain although all BAE (1073 > De-Esser > 10DCF > 1084) and I haven't experienced that weird phase issue but I have had some random freakouts of one plugin (weirdly never the full chain). Just last week my signal was suddenly extremely thin and brittle sounding. I've had the same plugin chain for months so this was weird. I tried all sorts of hardware changes (microphone, cabling, even resetting the interface). What finally fixed it was removing the De-esser from the chain and then simply adding back in. So strange. I'm using the D4SC, FYI.
I'm wondering if he had the dry and the processed signal coming through at the same time. That could explain it. Also for him there could be phasing from his voice in his head.
Great content man , do you know if it's possible to have the plugins on realtime monitoring without recording with processin with antelope?
Thanks. Yes it is. You can duplicate input channels, monitor the wet channel and record the dry channel. You can record both too for comparison. It’s a really great feature I wish UA had
Hey, would u recommand for vocal recording in a semi-pro studio?
The ZenGo yes, in terms of super clean preamps and great monitoring. The plugins I could leave… again good for monitoring but I wouldn’t mix with them.
@@EdThorne Hey, thank you for your answer. It seems to be the perfect interface for me, I am a producer and I only do vocal recording onto my beats, mixing is not my task ! Again thanks 👌🏻
Which one best antelope vs Apollo
This comparison is coming very soon! Pros and Cons for both
awesome video brother. thank you for this.
Ive always had my eye on the Antelope stuff. although, quite happy with what i got in this range, the Apollo Twin X.
plugins any good? antelope i mean, ofc
by the way....whn you engaged the LA2A, there was this phasing'ish issue happening....or just boxiness or whatever...listening to it through a SONY home theater, so not sure hahah
Hey man, thanks. Yeh, there was a strange phasing thing happening with a few plugins. I discussed it later in the video. I suspect it’s to do with the DSP performing parallel processing to keep the processing sub 1ms latency… the problem with that is clearly evident. I will enquire with Antelope about it because it renders half the processing useless.
I will cover this in my Antelope/UAD comparison video coming soon my friend🙂🤘
Without DSP pluigins how this interface work with DAW
Good actually I do both
Audient iD14 MKII vs Zen go vs SSl2+?
I'm very confused
ZenGo if you can get the software to work.
This is just a theoretical demonstration, as we haven’t heard any recordings.
I would be interested in a real recording (possibly supplemented with reverb) with music listening back.
Part four will be mixing the full track you can head all the audio (when I get round to it).
Do you music álbum?
I love this songs.
Lord bless you.
Thanks for the demonstration, but... as soon as the De-esser was applied, there was a noticeable difference in the quality of the voice, making it sound not very good... Then the LA2A just made me laugh 🤣... Anyone who's using Antelope Synergy Core plugins for recordings can relate this? Are the emulations not that good? Thank you again.
9:17 Alrighty then! 😅
Ha. I was wondering if anyone would spot that 🤣
I was looking for someone who say something
Everyone needs to put a solid PAUSE on buying anything Antelope right now. Marcel James (former 14 year engineer from Antelope Audio) is laying down the ugly hammer on all of the hidden software and hardware problems Antelope has been having over the years AND all of the negative social media comments they have been deleting. Marcel has one video out on UA-cam already. I have the Discrete 8 Synergy Core and for the last two years had multiple software issues and the LED panel text is now pixelated with dark orange and white text.
I’ve been using an Orion Studio Synergy Core for a year now and after getting used to the routing software it’s been running and sounding great!
@@coedmusic And I used my Discreet 8 Synergy Core for over two years and had driver issues even after different clean Windows installs. Antelope drivers suck compared to MOTU and Focusrite. What good is the hardware if the drivers fail or only work half of the time? I'm certainly not the only person that has turned my back on Antelope's janky hardware and crappy drivers! Oh, and my Antelope LED display started going out to where the text is hardly readable anymore, so yeah happy to sell you my failing piece of crap Antelope!
@@andynonimuss6298 Joining you over the DS8 SC, i'm having many driver issues, and some plug in doesnt work ; drivers went better with updates but atm i'm having issues making to work some of their plugin like Antares autotune wich cancel the signal when turned on or LA 2A wich Vu meter doesnt work, not even sure if its working
@@godimselfdontcry Sorry to hear about your issues. I switched to using Focusrite and MOTU. I bought a Scarlet 18i20 3rd gen and a MOTU UltraLite-mk5. Both are running great on Windows 11. Focusrite does have the better drivers. I haven't had any issues with the MOTU drivers, but if I want to run surround 5.1/7.1 (games and movies) through Windows on the MOTU, I have to use Voicemeeter to do it, whereas the Focusrite drivers automatically support Windows 5.1/7.1 surround natively.
Update, I've contact support after listing my struggles and they reach to me in 24h and gave me solutions ; now it's working like a charm 🫠
Compression video need with a Apollo twin
Compression or comparison? A comparison is coming!
i hoped you are singing LOL
Unless you have some special hardware, never understood the reason for recording plugins in the way in, just add the plugin later and have the chance to tweak and change it.
