It was that kind of undeniable resolution where it sounds like it's not just flat from 20-20k, but from tectonic to ultraviolet laser. If the Orion Studio or Zen Tour are anything like that I am sold. The only experience I've had with Antelope are their much more expensive converters in my professional engineer friends studio.Īnd they were mindblowingly better than the MOTU PCI system he had. I just need to get this 15 year old MOTU shit out of my signal chain so I can actually hear more of what is happening. However I do already have a dozen UAD plugins and a firewire duo.Īnd I do really like the sound of those plugins. Not a thing you have to buy on top of the cost of the unit. I also like the idea that the hardware accelerated plugins are just there. But you it works out to roughly the same $100 per in/out pair that I paid for my MOTU 828MKII over a decade ago.
It's not the greatest sounding, but I've only had a handful of hardware freezes on them. Which is why I stuck with my MOTU stuff so long. As well as the customer service seems a bit understaffed. However, I've heard some iffy stories about the reliability of their interfaces. But if the plugins are basically free with purchase, the interface isn't a glorified iLok, it's doing something.Ĭan anyone comment on the sound of the Antelope plugs? Not sure about the difference in execution. 40? They are using FPGA instead of DSP to power their stuff.
The Antelope has more inputs (12 vs 8) and a lot of plugins. So the number of plugins is almost unlimited. Also the current promotion nets me a Quad or Octo DSP box in addition to the duo or quad that comes with the interface.
I like the ability to plug my bass or guitar into a sim 'directly' from the hi-Z inputs. The UAD interfaces are solid, and I'm sold on the plugins. Got another one of those middle class jobs that allows me to buy stuff.
